Winter/6 recipes

Earthy-sweet beets, peppery arugula and creamy goat cheese are tossed with a red wine vinaigrette. Quick, easy and tasty!

The Winter Wonderland continues here in Upstate NY, and for those who aren’t lucky enough to be somewhere tropical right now…well…we wish we were. Though I can’t get to somewhere warm right now, I rounded up the most sunshine-inspired ingredients in my kitchen and combined them with mega-vitamin packed kale for a tasty tropical treat.

Beat the winter this year with a savory Chicken Pot Pie filled a variety of spices vegetables that can satisfy anyone's hunger!

To make the kebabs, you’ll need eight 10-inch wooden or bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes. Metal skewers may overcook the lamb, so use only metal if you like your meat well done.

A very quick and easy breakfast or brunch recipe. It came out delicious. Had my veggies, proteins, fibers and carb all in one dish.

A creamy and savory soup that will warm you up on a cold winter night.

Super moist, chocolaty and rich. These delicious kaulua cheesecake bars will for sure satisfy your sweet tooth but without letting you feel too guilty.

6 layer cake made with fresh strawberries and fresh whipped cream. Strawberries are in season, they are cheap and delicious! This can be a healthier alternative to ice cream cake (just freeze cake once it's done).

Great smell and supper to come home to on a cold winter day. The roast falls apart and with the vegetables makes a wonderful chunky gravy. Our favorite to serve over garlic mashed potatoes. Use whatever size roast and just add more vegetable to your liking.

In Italian, “crostini” means “little toasts.” Crostini are made by slicing a French or Italian bread stick or baguette. Then rubbing with garlic and olive oil and toasting or grilling until crisp.

It tasted very refreshing and flavorful. The leftover was kept in the fridge and had it for brunch today, even better.

A delicious soup great to have in the winter.

Try something new for soup with this delicious recipe that will become your family's favorite.

A very simple recipe for a classic, which helps you to get warm in the winter (ok, I mean when it is getting 4° Celsius in the night in Southern California). The number of servings is accurate when you have it as a meal - as a starter it should serve way more people. I did not list any spices, as I usually have self made chicken broth which is already pretty tasty and spicy, sweetness comes from the onions and the white wine balances it. For bread and cheese - don't think about any fancy, old dry bread is good and any cheese which melts. The onions are king when it comes to taste. Ovenproof crock bowls are very nice for final preparation and serving the soup.

This recipe sounds great I would really like to try it.
