Corn and Ham Cheese Casserole

Corn and Ham Cheese Casserole by Carolinaheartstrings

This is a hearty casserole that could also be served in smaller portions as a side dish this holiday season. Or use your left over ham from a holiday meal! If your diet restricts ham substitute chicken or tuna and enjoy in your own way!

Quinoa and Butternut Squash Casserole

Quinoa and Butternut Squash Casserole by Carolinaheartstrings

Classic casseroles are our theme this month and I wanted to make something with the colors and flavors of fall that was totally meatless. Butternut squash is in abundance right now and I love the creamy smooth texture and flavor. Pair this with the nutty graininess of quinoa and you have a win win dish! I did not want to make…

Italian Vegetable Casserole

Italian Vegetable Casserole by Carolinaheartstrings

Welcome to November! Many of us are starting to get ready for the holidays with busier schedules and more tasks on the “to-do” list. Yikes! With that in mind Tammie and I decided to focus on casseroles this month. What better way to save a little time than to make a complete meal, pop it in the oven and move on to another project…

Eggplant Pizza Rolls

Eggplant Pizza Rolls by Carolinaheartstrings

Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetables and when Tammie suggested doing a month of pizzas I immediately thought about little mini pizzas with eggplant slices as the base. I used chopped onions and olives as my toppings but use your imagination and your favorite toppings to create these mini pizza treats for your family.

Mexican food, one of my favorites any day of the week. In fact, I am pretty sure I could eat some type of Mexican food inspired dish every day of the week. I have a long list of family favorites that I make over and over. For my recipe posts this month I wanted to take some of the ones I usually make and put a different spin on…

Tempeh and Apple Wraps by Rich H

Wrap your mouth around our mouth-water wrap and you will enjoy a mouthful of flavor! That in itself was quite a mouthful. But seriously, this is a great way to serve a delicious wrap with a lot of healthy ingredients.

Eggplant Parmigiana

Eggplant Parmigiana by Carolinaheartstrings

Eggplants that are younger (more glossy) tend to have less seeds and are less bitter. At one time I had believed “gender” played a role in the presence of seeds but research I read recently explained that more seeds are an indication of age, NOT the eggplant being a “female”. Eggplants are self-pollinators and have both male and…

Ham & Cabbage Hash

Ham & Cabbage Hash by Salad Foodie

This is a fast dinner-in-a-skillet recipe, and a good way to use up leftover ham or roast beef. Lots of vegetables make the meat go further and keep calories, fat, sodium and carbs to a reasonable level. A healthy and homey stand-by recipe for breakfast and/or casual dinners.

Of course, if you have enough zucchini, simply double the…
