Herbs-spices/8 recipes

First time to make my own pita bread, and I was shocked by how they beautifully puffed. Then I realized it was not hard at all to make your own. Whole wheat flour gave extra tangy flavor, definitely well worth the efforts and will make my own pita bread from now on :)

Classic German beef pot roast that is marinated with vinegar, spices and seasonings. It's traditionally served with red cabbage and/or spaetzle or even pasta. Perfect for celebrating Oktoberfest.

I changed it up a bit by using both a red and green pepper and a can of stewed tomatoes. I cooked on low for a full 8 hours which made the meat extremely tender.

These lovely maple syrup roasted sweet potatoes are tasty with a nice crust to the skin, not mushy at all. The slightly tart but sweet carmelized exterior is a refreshing change to this classic fall vegetable.

Meaty cod baked in a flavourful combination of tomatoes, olives, garlic, herbs reminicent of French Provence.

Outstanding, the light herb and cheese enriched batter sealed in the juices and kept the chicken breast cutlets super moist.

A marvelously well balanced combination of that go so well together for a perfect Sunday brunch.

Very good tasting! Outstanding!

This is based on a delicious Paula Deen chicken recipe. It makes a great appetizer and only uses 5 simple ingredients. I found the original recipe way too sweet so have modified it to be a bit less sweet and have added a spicy kick to balance out the sweetness.

One of my variations of the Bisquick "Impossible Pie" type recipe. Quick and easy...great for breakfast, brunch or a light lunch.

Ridiculously easy chicken, cheese with a mushroom marinara sauce that tastes great! This is a huge hit in our house, kids love it.

Usually I have a certain degree of self control when it comes to my buttery treats. With this lemon cake, however, I will happily consume an entire loaf in a sitting without thinking twice. Do I regret it? NO! Bake it and you will understand. Thank you, Ina.

An African spice mixture.

We make things "from scratch" a lot so I like things that I can make easily. We doubled the recipe and fought over the leftovers.

Meaty cod with a tasty, crusty Italian inspired fresh breadcrumb top crust. The crust bakes golden brown and delivers texture and rich flavour to the fish.

Reminisce Magazine's contest winning recipe. By: Oma Rollison (my mother) "'This absolutely scrumptious cake needs no icing...just a dusting of confectioners' sugar. Even though this recipe has been a 'family secret' for years, I'm delighted to share it with my fellow Reminisce readers."
