Even when you are in a hurry, you can prepare a delicious, flavorful meals that include potatoes! I reach for the “Simply Potato” wedges and keep them on hand in the fridge for quick and easy preparation and to have as an addition to meals when I’m in a hurry. Although I love to cook and spend time in the kitchen, I’m OK with making life simple from time to time and these potatoes on the grill are just that! This meal was thrown together and cooked in less than 45 minutes ältere java versionen downloaden!

Ingredients:

1 package Simply Potato wedges with Rosemary
1 Vedalia Onion

Roasted Beets

Written By: Chris - Jul• 01•12

Another dish we’ve been craving ever since our recent visits to the Valley is a good “Beet Salad!” I didn’t think while growing up that I would ever enjoy these odd-looking vegetables that our folks used to eat. Ever since trying them cold or chilled in a variety of salads, both Bill and I have come to love them. They are good for you too! Of course the heirloom varieties are so pretty and not always as easy to find here in Minnesota, but the dark ones are good too! I choose the smaller to medium-sized ones because they are more tender iphone kostenlos musik downloaden ohne internet.

Roasting them seems to enhance their sweet nature and seems to be the easiest way to cook beets. You can do them in the oven, much like you would roast your garlic bunch – but it also works on the grill. In the heat of summer, I do what ever I can to utilize the grill so we don’t heat up the house. Roasting beets give them a deep, earthy sweet taste that can’t be accomplished in any other method of cooking. You can serve the roasted beets either as a side dish or a salad flickr foto downloaden iphone.

Ingredients:

3 Beets (small or medium in size)
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Kosher Salt
Freshly ground Black Pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees citrix receiver windows. Rinse the beets and trim off any leafy tops. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt & pepper and wrap completely in aluminum foil. Place on the top shelf of the hot grill or in the oven and roast until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about an hour or so filme von burning series downloaden. Remove from the oven and let cool before peeling.

Peel the ends using a paring knife and the skins come off easily with your fingers or the edge of the knife skype für pc herunterladen.

Slice the beets, drizzle with more olive oil, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper herunterladen.

The leafy beet tops make a great addition as a quick side dish if you wilt them in oil (I used a dash of Grape seed & Sesame Oil).

Fresh Wheat Pasta with Marinara & Mozzarella

Written By: Chris - Jun• 28•12

I recently posted the recipe for my homemade fresh Wheat pasta. I intended on making a red sauce with some fresh Basil and Mozzarella that I had on hand herunterladen!

An enjoyable way for me to spend my time off on weekends, is in the kitchen! Recently the kids were all coming for dinner – It was another blustering hot summer day in Minnesota, but that doesn’t mean we don’t crave a good hearty home-made meal. All of my gang loves pasta and I even think Bri craves it as much or more than Bill Download youtube video on iphone!

I had fun preparing everything in doors, but “baked” this dish on the grill to help keep the heat outside! I was really in the mood to play with my new pasta tools since I’ve not had much of an opportunity just yet! To assemble the dish, simply follow these instructions! I made this into three pans and froze two for a future meal. Since it is meatless, it could easily be used as a nice side. Marinara sauce is a southern Italian tomato sauce usually made with tomatoes, garlic, herbs, onions. Traditional southern Italian cuisine uses this type of sauce to add flavor to pasta, rice, seafood and pizza. I make my sauce semi-homemade and with this wheat pasta, it was a delicious hit with my family! Don’t be afraid to start with some canned pasta sauce that you have on hand – just doctor it up and add fresh ingredients, it is economical and easy to prepare!

This is a different dish, because the cheese is baked in the middle rather than on top instagram lässt sich nicht herunterladen!
