These stuffed tomatoes are everything you could want in a late summer meal…. fresh, filling, healthy. They are easily adaptable too! Think of Stuffed Tomatoes as you would Stuffed Peppers… they work basically the same way! I wanted to go full-out Italian so I stuffed …
We keep on getting stuff called amaranth from our co-op. It is not a bad thing (actually pretty good) and it actually tastes a lot like spinach (with a slightly more bitter & fuzzy-ness to them) The major problem is that we are getting tired …
You are less than a 1/2 hour away from a delicious & healthy breakfast made to please! Use all those fresh veggies you have from the market, or the garden and enjoy a breakfast to thrill.
You can even switch out veggies and meats in this recipe to make this your go-to frittata that you can change your flavors as you and your family want. This was amazing as-is and was the perfect starter (with some garlic bread) to our Mother’s Day celebration this year. Get your fresh ingredients & enjoy breakfast to thrill… oh yeah – this would make a great “Breakfast for Dinner” meal too!
Not much to write – simple, clean, fresh flavors speak for themselves…
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, sun dried tomato and Parmigiano. Whisk together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper, set aside. Into a cast iron pan (or other oven safe pan) add the olive oil and onion and saute approx 2 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently. Add mushrooms, reduce heat to low and continue to stir while cooking until mushrooms have released their water. Add spinach and cook just until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour egg mixture into pan and stir gently to combine. Allow to cook until the sides begin to set up. Transfer to oven and cook until eggs are no longer giggly. Approx 15 mins {check it every so often} Transfer to serving plate & enjoy immediately.
Stuffed Shells and Manicotti were not and Italian food that I grew up with (or had ever made before this year), probably because they are not as easy as most other pastas. With just a little bit of time (assemble the night before – the way you would lasagna) you can have the awesome flavors you want with the beautiful presentation you crave!

In my attempt to be healthy recently I have been on a GREEN kick (smoothies, and pancakes, and muffins, and all sorts of yummy stuff made with spinach). Well now St. Patrick’s Day is passed and Spring is here (although I currently have a snow …
GO GREEN… you hear it everywhere! Not only is going green good for the environment, it is good for your stomach and health too – and its not so bad for helping you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day either!
I have recently posted quite a few GREEN recipes:
Maybe it is my love of Dr. Seuss that makes me love all of these green things (but I did NOT like “greens” as a kid, and no I would not even eat them with a fox in a box or with a spoon in my room!). Or maybe it is the fact that I have become much more aware of my surroundings and the environment. Maybe it is the whole health factor that has helped me too! No matter what it is that has inspired all of this love of green (yes, money – I love that too)… the abundance of recent green can help you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2011 (my Car Bomb Cupcakes & Irish Potatoes aren’t too shabby of a way to enjoy the holiday either)
