Chicken With Three Peppers Skillet Meal

Chicken With Three Peppers Skillet Meal by Salad Foodie

Tri-colored bell peppers are the showy appeal in this fast-to-fix skillet chicken entrée. Add a side of brown or white rice and fresh green salad and it's a healthy weeknight comfort meal. This is based on my recollections of a recipe I tried several years ago but couldn't locate - it comes fairly close and we liked this version a…

Salmon Patties Like Mom’s - well sorta!

Salmon Patties Like Mom’s - well sorta! by Salad Foodie

My siblings and I just loved salmon patties in the “good old days.” Mom was in the workforce so the pantry was always stocked with canned salmon for this quick-to-fix meal. There were five of us, and the recipe using one can (then 16 ounces) made 5 patties. This version is close to Mom’s, but overtime I tweaked it to my liking. It’s…

Sunday Brunch Frittata

Sunday Brunch Frittata by Salad Foodie

I worked many years (in my prime!) at a mountain lodge that served a popular Sunday brunch, and the main attraction was a cooked-to-order frittata. There’s no particular measurements because remember, this is prepared to order. Do you want one egg, two or three? Do you want a sprinkle of cheese or a healthy hand of it? No onions - no…

Tilapia with Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Rice

Tilapia with Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Rice by Salad Foodie

This tops my favorites of ways to prepare Tilapia. The recipe was one of the winners a few years ago in a contest sponsored by the USA Rice Federation. Using prepared jars of red roasted peppers and chipotle salsa cuts down on the preparation, but certainly not the taste of this snappy Spanish entree. (See "Useful Links" below for…

Porkchops with Brown Rice and Mozzarella

Porkchops with Brown Rice and Mozzarella by Salad Foodie

Resurrecting gastronomic memories of long ago, I created this take on an all-in-one-dish my aunt used to make. She used CANNED Spanish rice, which I don't think is available anymore. For my interpretation I prepared Spanish rice using brown rice (browning the raw rice with onions and garlic in EVOO and simmering with water, spices and…

Huevos Rancheros

Huevos Rancheros by Salad Foodie

Any excuse to eat Mexican for breakfast works for me, and this version of Huevos Rancheros is as crunchy and delicious as it is colorful. Tortilla chips replace traditional tortillas for the base, topped with black beans, egg, salsa, avocado and cheddar cheese. Now this dish will get the sleepy-heads to the table fast!

Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Rice

Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Rice by Salad Foodie

Starting with a recipe that won a contest sponsored by the USA Rice Federation, I took the liberty to substitute chicken for the original recipe’s fish (see “Useful Links” below for the Tilapia version.) Using prepared jars of red roasted peppers and chipotle salsa cuts down on the preparation, but certainly not the taste of this…

Yogurt Pancakes with Blueberries

Yogurt Pancakes with Blueberries by Salad Foodie

Light and sublime, these pancakes are perfect for summer’s bounty of blueberries. Whole wheat pastry flour is recommended and gives the most tender results, but all purpose flour works fine too. I used Greek plain yogurt but regular yogurt or sour cream can be subbed.
