What better way to usher in the official day-after-the-last-day-of-summer than with some rich, homestyle skillet fried pork chops. Be sure to give the cast iron skillet plenty of time to heat and dredge the chops in plenty of flour, salt & pepper. The smell and the sound when they hit the skillet can’t be beat. Mmmmmm!
Laden with succulent shrimp and creamy cheese, these enchiladas will satisfy your craving for richness and spice. And the loads of fresh vegetables and tangy lime keep the dish from being heavy. Pair with a crisp Pinot Grigio for a perfect late summer dish.
Made with zucchini spiral “pasta”, sautéed asparagus and creamy avocado this this healthy dose of green vegetables is balanced by rich coconut milk, fragrant toasted walnuts and cooked lentils creating a vibrant and satisfying meal.
With a spicy and substantial filling, balanced by fresh veggies and rich cashew sour cream, these wraps can be filled with any combination of toppings you like. I refrain from referring the the lentil-walnut filling as ‘meat’. These wraps don’t need to pretend to have meat to be inviting, they are amazing in their own right! Skip the cheese to keep them vegan and lactose free.
Spicy and rich, this is the ultimate in meat-free comfort food. In fact, this dish was so tasty and filling that Dave didn’t even want any of the leftover grilled chicken breast that I offered to appease my ‘meatitarian’. Don’t skip the Harissa paste, it really makes the dish an explosion of flavor!
Spaghetti without the spaghetti! A quick and light way to serve the zucchini that is in abundance right now. The sauce is bright and fresh and pairs well with the zucchini “pasta”.
Hearty and filling. This dish combines shrimp and chicken with peas and red bell pepper keeping the dish fresh. Cooked in the traditional manner, it forms a nice crispy crust on the bottom. Reheats well (if there’s any left).
