Chicken Spaghetti Zucchini Recipe

 It is so important to eat more vegetables, especially green vegetables.  I love grating zucchini using my cheese grater and adding it to recipes like this Chicken Spaghetti.  Zucchini has little flavor, so it is easy to add to most dishes.  I have written a post about adding it to my Chicken Tortilla Soup which is Wonderful.  This post is about adding grated zucchini to Chicken Spaghetti which is another family favorite.

To add lots of flavor to my Chicken Spaghetti, I use Paul Prudhomme's Pizza & Pasta Magic.  I discovered Paul Prudhomme's Pizza & Pasta Magic while living in Louisiana.  I actually had an opportunity to meet Paul Prudhomme at a cooking demonstration.   Paul Prudhomme in my opinion, is one of the best chef's ever and his seasonings are outstanding.  The Herbal Pizza & Pasta Magic is the PERFECT seasoning for this Chicken Spaghetti with Zucchini.  I also used it to season Pizzas both homemade and frozen, Calzones and many other pasta dishes.   Trust me on this!   Try adding some of Paul Prudhomme's Pizza Pasta seasoning to frozen pizza with some fresh grated cheese.  It will make a huge difference.

21 Days: Day 6 – Blueberry Ice Cream <b>Recipe</b>

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 12:19 AM PST

I have a sweet tooth. I have an anything that tastes good tooth really… but I thought I'd share one of my favourite treats with you today.

Seeing as I just make up the recipes for some of the treats I eat, out of the ingredients I have on hand (see yesterday's shopping list) I don't have actual measurements. I figure if you have half a brain you can figure out the quantities for yourself.

Here is the list of ingredients for a 5 minute blueberry ice cream/frozen yoghurt dessert.

IMG_7844

Ice
Blueberries (frozen)
Greek Yoghurt
Honey

That's it. I use a stick blender/magic bullet type of thing to make it. Fill the large cup halfway with ice, add a couple of tablespoons of greek yoghurt, a handful of blueberries & squirt of honey. The cup will now be full. Blend and serve.

It's filling, delicious and good for you. Enjoy.

Thanksgiving <b>Recipe</b> for kids — Clumsy Crafter

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 12:02 AM PST

Indian Corn cookies are a great thanksgiving recipe for kids Indian Corn Cookies

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Imperial Sugar but it's still an amazing recipe so keep reading people! 

My kids love to bake and help in the kitchen but sometimes it's just not appropriate for them to help. Tonight my 8 year old daughter asked if she could take the whole turkey I was cooking out of the oven. There's no way she could have safely lifted the hot turkey. However Imperial Sugar has a whole area of their website called Kids Kitchen which has amazing crafts and recipes to make with your kids. When I saw the Indian Corn Cookies on the site, I knew it would be the perfect Thanksgiving recipe for kids to help with in the kitchen. 

The older two girls were outside playing (in the dirt… grrr) when I started pulling out the baking supplies and their aprons. The resident four year old's eyes got really big as she asked, "Are we gonna hewlp you wifth bakin?".  You could tell she was excited. 

So while the older two played in the dirt, hoping I didn't see them, the little one and myself played in the kitchen. We made the shortbread cookie dough while hoping that they wouldn't find us. It was a sweet time just to spend with the little one since she gets to spend the least amount of time in the kitchen with me.  She also happens to be the one least likely to share how much raw cookie dough I ate while the older two would have been texting every contact in my phone about it. 

Monkey baking Indian Corn Cookies

I let her help me make the dough and then her and I together rolled it out and cut it using a carrot cookie cutter. If you want to make these, you can cut them by hand. It's a really easy dough to work with (and tastes yummy).  If you look close you'll also see her super cute alligator rolling pin that her grandmother bought her. 

Finally it was time to let the older two girls in on the secret because they live for frosting and that was the next step. They were thrilled to find out that they were going to get to ice cookies. I was thrilled that it was only white icing and my floor wouldn't look like the Willy Wonka factory exploded when we finished. 

all girls making cookies nov 2013 Indian Corn Cookies

We iced the cookies with buttercream icing and then arranged Reeses Pieces candy on top to make it look like the beautiful corn kernels of Indian Corn. If your child is allergic to peanuts and peanut butter, you can use red, yellow and brown M&M's. 

We didn't have the raffia that the recipe called for so instead we cut brown paper bags into ovals larger than the cookies and accordian folded them to make them look like corn husks. 

We tied the brown paper bag husks around the cookies with twine and then they were ready.

They were the perfect treat to finish off our week of learning about Squanto and the early settlers.  The United States history would most likely be very different if Squanto hadn't of taught the early settlers how to farm using fish to grow corn.  

These are fun and easy to make. I highly recommend them. You can find the recipe here - Indian Corn Cookies

Readers&#39; <b>recipe</b> swap: melted

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 10:56 PM PST

Gooey cheese galore this week, with hot ice-cream and squidgy brownies for dessert – which is pretty much my ideal menu, come to think of it. From MizPepperpot's Jamaican onion soup to Bronwyn Wolfe's super quick pasta supper, it's all perfect fare for chilly weather – even Diane Kitchen's snowy baked alaska, which, thinking ahead, would make a fabulous Christmas centrepiece.

If you can't think any further than brunch today, however, Ryan Pharmilton's Gallic take on the classic bacon sarnie takes some beating on the indulgence front.

The winning recipe: Les croque madames

Cook - readers

I love French cuisine, and a croque madame is perfect for weekend breakfast or brunch – especially served with a good quality espresso. I use bacon instead of ham as I prefer the thickness that bacon gives, and it's a quintessential British breakfast meat. Ryan Pharmilton (via GuardianWitness)

Makes 2
Vegetable oil and butter, for frying
4 rashers of bacon
Dijon mustard
4 slices of thick bread (6 if you're making a 3-slice croque madame)
Gruyere cheese, to top
2 eggs

For the bechamel sauce
500ml milk
¼ onion (optional)
1 large bay leaf (optional)
¼ tsp mace (optional)
40g butter
40g plain flour
75g gruyere cheese, grated
Salt and black pepper

1 First, make the bechamel sauce. Gently heat the milk, onion, bay leaf and mace until it comes to the boil. Take off the heat and leave to infuse for about 30 minutes, then strain.

2 Melt the butter in a saucepan and whisk in the flour. Cook the flour for a few minutes then slowly whisk in the infused milk. Melt the cheese into the sauce and season to taste.

3 Heat a little oil in a frying pan and cook the bacon (but not until crisp).

4 Spread a thin layer of mustard on to one side of each slice of bread. Add the bacon, spread on some of the sauce, top with the other slice of bread and repeat (if using 3 slices).

5 Melt a good knob of butter in a frying pan then fry both sides of the sandwiches until they're brown and have a good crunch (the croque).

6 Transfer the sandwiches to a baking tray, top with the remaining sauce and grate over a little gruyere cheese. Place under a medium grill until the sauce bubbles and starts to brown.

7 Fry the eggs in a little oil and place on top of the croque madame.

Baked alaska

The first thing my husband ever made me was a baked alaska. He has served it up on my birthday every year we have been together. It's a retro classic – the skill is in getting the meringue to cook while the ice-cream filling starts to melt but doesn't disappear. I know it's a good one if there's a cherry on top! Diane Kitchen, Ilkley

Serves 4
6 pineapple rings
4 egg whites
225g caster sugar
A slab of good quality vanilla ice-cream (about 15 x 10 x 8cm), very well frozen
Glace cherries, halved, and angelica leaves, to decorate

1 Heat the oven to 220C/425F/gas mark 7. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and draw around the ice-cream container, then arrange the pineapple in the space, cutting if necessary.

2 Whisk the egg whites until you can turn the bowl upside down without them falling out. Continue whisking, adding the sugar 1 tsp at a time, and whisk until shiny and stiff.

3 Put the ice-cream on top of the pineapple, then very quickly cover with the meringue, making sure that you seal the edges. Make rough peaks with the meringue and decorate with the cherries and angelica.

4 Bake for about 8 minutes. Take it out when the meringue is firm and golden and not burnt. You should be able to cut into it to reveal the meringue, with the ice-cream still solid but slightly melting and warm pineapples. Serve immediately. 

Indulgent celeriac and blue cheese pithivier

Recipe swap: witness: celeriac and blue cheese pithivier Marmaduke Scarlet's celeriac and blue cheese pithivier. Photograph: Marmaduke Scarlet via/GuardianWitness

Impress guests with this dead easy pie! This is simply two circles of pastry with a delicious filling that oozes melting cheese. Looks good, tastes even better! Marmaduke Scarlet (via GuardianWitness)

Serves 6
A knob of butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
A pinch of salt
1 celeriac (about 450g), peeled, finely sliced
Flour, to dust
500g puff pastry
Fresh thyme leaves, to sprinkle
200g blue cheese, crumbled
1 egg, beaten

1 Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the onion, garlic and a pinch of salt. Gently cook for 3-4 minutes then set aside to cool.

2 Blanch the celeriac slices in lightly salted, boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

3 Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 5-6mm thick. Cut out 2 circles, one bigger than the other.

4 Place the smaller pastry circle on a lined baking tray. Prick several times with a fork. Lay some celeriac slices over the smaller circle, leaving a margin of at least 2cm around the edge.

5 Add a little onion and garlic. Sprinkle over some thyme and crumbled blue cheese and season with black pepper. Repeat in layers until you've used all the filling. Brush the pastry margin with a little beaten egg. Lay the larger circle on top and press down the edge to seal.

6 Use a very sharp knife to score half-moon shapes spiralling from the centre to the edge. Cut a tiny circle in the top, to allow steam to escape. Brush with egg and chill for 20 minutes.

7 Bake for 30–35 minutes at 180C/350F/gas mark 4 until golden brown.

Choc mocha brownies

Made by melting the best chocolate you can find and combining it with loads of luscious ingredients. It's that time of year when the first mandarins are out so we thought we'd add a little grated mandarin zest to the bitter chocolate. Ruth Joseph and Sarah Nathan, Cardiff, veggischmooze.blogspot.com

Makes 18 large brownies
275g plain chocolate (70% cocoa)
275g butter
250g soft brown sugar
50g vanilla sugar
1 tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
100g spelt flour
75g plain flour
4 large eggs
Zest of 1 mandarin or satsuma
2 tsp espresso, or 2 tsp hot water to 1 heaped tbsp good instant coffee
170g chocolate chips

1 Preheat the oven to 180C/350C/gas mark 4. Line a square 24 x 24 x 4.5cm tin with greaseproof paper.

2 Put the chocolate, butter, sugars and syrup in a glass bowl above a saucepan of boiling water and melt, then leave to cool.

3 Sieve the bicarbonate of soda and flours into a large mixing bowl. Crack and whisk the eggs into another bowl, add the coffee and zest and beat into the chocolate mixture.

4 Fold in the flour mix and chocolate chips and pour into the prepared tins.

5 Bake for 35–45 minutes, until the top crust is firm and the interior still slightly soft to the touch, but not runny.

Tortelloni with sage butter sauce

This is such a quick and simple thing to make and it's always a treat. With fresh tortelloni, dinner is ready in 10 minutes. Bronwyn Wolfe, London

Serves 2
250g pumpkin tortelloni
50g butter
8-10 fresh sage leaves
Squeeze of lemon juice
1 tbsp pumpkin seeds, toasted

1 Cook the tortelloni in lots of boiling salted water till al dente.

2 Meanwhile melt the butter in a small frying pan over a gentle heat till it starts to foam and lightly brown. Add the sage and take off the heat. Stir through a little lemon juice to taste.

3 Drain the pasta, reserving half a cup of the cooking water. Pour over the melted sage butter and toss through the pasta, adding cooking liquid if it needs a little loosening.

4 Divide between 2 large bowls, scatter with toasted pumpkin seeds and serve.

Onion soup with melted beef marrow

Readers recipe swap: witness – onion soup MizPepperpot's onion and marrow soup. Photograph: MizPepperpot/GuardianWitness

It seems everyone's talking about "nose-to-tail" dining, but if you've ever dabbled in Caribbean cookery, you'll know that it's not unusual to use the whole animal. I love to experiment with inexpensive but often tastier bits of the beast, and this is what I came up with today. You'll need to make the wine a few days in advance. MizPepperpot (via GuardianWitness)

Serves 4-6
25g butter
A splash of oil
700g onions, thinly sliced
1.5 litres beef stock
6-12 pieces of bone marrow

For the Jamaican pepper wine
1 bottle Amontillado sherry
6–8 scotch bonnet chillis

1 To make the pepper wine, pour yourself a glass of the sherry (to make room in the bottle for the peppers) and drink at leisure! Add the peppers to the bottle, replace the cork and infuse for a few days. Use in soups, stews or dressings.

2 Gently cook the onions in the oil and butter until caramelised and golden. Add the beef stock and a good glug of pepper wine and simmer for 35–40 minutes. Season to taste if necessary.

3 Heat the oven to 190C/375F/gas mark 5. Season the bone marrow and roast for 10 minutes until bubbling.

4 To serve, place the bone marrow in a bowl and pour over the soup.

Beetroot Tikki Recipe

I grew up eating these beetroot chops at our Bengali neighbor's house. The word "Beet chops" was etched in mind even before I knew of words such as cutlet or patties or tikkis even existed. Beetroot Chops or rather Vegetable chops are a popular Bengali street food and they make a perfect, healthy snack for kids. I never had a problem eating beets during my childhood and I can say the same to my kids too. Even when I first introduced beets in their diet they took to it very happily unlike other kids who refuse to eat the veggie.

But I cannot say the same thing about my hubby as he has a problem with red colored veggies and fruits. He is the only person who I've come across so far that hates watermelons and strawberries for the reason they are red in color. There are numerous ways you can make and cook these patties. You can stuff them with paneer (Cottage cheese) and roasted nuts, grill them, deep fry them, add whatever veggies that your kids refuse to eat as beets have an amazing way of staining whatever it comes in contact with, that your kids won't even know what went into these patties and will happily gobble it down without complaining.

I make these mixed veg cutlets whenever I clean the fridge and find stray veggies. I just make them into patties and store them in the fridge without cooking them in an air tight container. The next day morning, I just have to thaw them a little bit before cooking and Voila!, a healthy snack is ready for my kids to be packed to school.

Beetroot Tikki Recipe

Ingredients:

  • Beetroot – 2
  • Potato – 1
  • Onion – 1
  • Green chilies – 1
  • Red chili powder – 1/2 tsp
  • Coriander powder – 1/2 tsp
  • Garam masala powder – 1/4 tsp
  • Chaat masala powder – 1/4 tsp
  • Coriander leaves – 2 tbsp
  • Gram flour / Chickpea flour (kadalai maavu) – 4 tbsp
  • Salt – to taste
  • Oil – 4 tbsp

Instructions:

  1. Wash and scrape the skin of beetroot and potato. Roughly chop into big chunks. Pressure cook for 2 whistles and the after the pressure is released, mash them well with a potato masher and keep aside. step-1
  2. Heat a pan with 2 tsp oil. Add finely chopped onion and green chilies. Sauté till the onions turn pink. Now add red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder and mix well. step-2
  3. Add the mashed beetroot-potato mixture, finely chopped coriander leaves, 2 tbsp gram flour (Chickpea flour),  chaat masala powder, salt and mix till everything comes together as a ball. Cook this over low flame.step-3
  4. Let the mixture cool completely. Make ping pong sized balls and slightly press them between your palm. Take the remaining gram flour in a bowl and drop the patties into the bowl for dusting. Shake off excess flour.step-4
  5. Heat a pan or girdle. Place the patties leaving enough space between them. Drizzle few drops of oil around them and let them cook on 1 side. Gently turn them over with a spatula and let the other side cook as well. Transfer to a serving plate.
  6. Sprinkle some more chaat masala powder on the arranged tikkis. Serve hot with chutney or tomato ketchup. I served the beetroot tikkis with Mint Yogurt Dip.
Beetroot Chops Recipe

Notes:

  1. I normally add bread slices (fresh or stale) while mixing the vegetables to absorb excess moisture if any and use bread crumbs for coating before cooking.
  2. But since the challenge is to make this recipe as a Vegan, I avoided bread slices and used gram flour (Chickpea flour) instead. You can also use semolina (Sooji/Rava) for dusting.
  3. If you do not have both bread or chickpea flour to use for binding, feel free to use corn flour or rice flour.
  4. You can also bake or grill these patties instead of shallow frying.
