How to Make A Quick Healthy Dinner You know the drill – you arrive home late after work. You’re tired. You don’t feel like cooking. 1) First, your base.

Working Class Foodie’s Apple Cake | The Blog That Ate Manhattan I’ve been enjoying watching Working Class Foodie, a Web Show on Hungry Nation that features Rebecca and Max, two siblings with “a love of cooking and eating” who create simple meals using seasonal, local ingredients for under $8 a serving. Their traditional apple cake recipe is a perfect example of simply delicious food. It’s your basic Jewish Apple Cake made from a recipe Rebecca and Max got from their aunt Tracy, who prefaced her recipe with these words to her niece and nephew – “Don’t mess it up!” This recipe differs from others apple cake recipes I’ve seen in several ways – First the ratio of sugar to flour is almost 1:1. Other recipes I’ve seen have about a 2:3 proportion, making this cake considerably on the sweeter side. Perhaps to balance out the sugar, there’s a heck of a lot of cinnamon – 2 tbsp to be exact, compared to 2 tsp in most other traditional apple cake recipes. Mr TBTAM absolutely loved this cake, as did my daughter and her friends.

Serve with all your Mexican favourites, but especially good on my Mexican Pulled Pork Tacos! Quite often when I make Mexican style food, I will throw together a quick and easy little salsa using fresh tomatoes, like the one in this recipe – but I’d never really stopped to think about the fact that this version of salsa, though similar to the ones I’ve always been served in Mexican restaurants, is totally different to the kind you usually buy in a jar from the supermarkets to dunk your tortilla chips in! Actually variations on my salsa recipe have already appeared a few times on Easy Peasy Foodie, but I wanted this lovely Easy Peasy Salsa Fresca recipe to have its own entry on my blog, so it could be more easily found and so I could link to it from other recipes.

Traditional Southern Sweet Potato Casserole I don't know what it is about sweet potatoes fluffed up souffle like and topped with gooey marshmallows, but we sure love this dish down here in The Deep South and it is a rare Southern table that is not graced with it on Thanksgiving or Christmas, or both. Although a pone can refer to many different dishes, including cornbread, you may have heard this dish referred to as sweet potato pone. As always in different regions of the South, recipe ingredients for a pone do vary widely, but I have noted that sweet potato pone is rarely topped with anything at all. It is more of a simple bake, seasoned with classic pie spices and perhaps a little more dense than what we are accustomed to in a sweet potato casserole. Yes we know it gets a bad rap from some folks, particularly those who don't have the privilege of living in our beautiful South. They make fun of it and call it names. It's really okay if you prefer a praline topping over the marshmallows too. ☛ Are you on Facebook?

Lemons and capers go together really well. And butter makes everything better, usually. However, if you've never had capers, most supermarkets will have them. Capers can be rinsed (or not) before using, depending on the recipe specifications, and need to be stored in the fridge once the jar is opened. The recipe makes enough sauce for about four generous servings, and it can be scaled up to serve more. Click Play to See This Simple Lemon Caper Sauce Recipe Come Together
Pumpkin & Cheese Spice Bread Would you rather eat a donut, muffin, or slice of bread if they were all baked (not fried) and made out of the same batter? Hmm…interesting. Last year I came up with a recipe for Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts that both Mike and I went crazy for. (And this is nothing short of a miracle since he’s a self-proclaimed pumpkin-hater.) Since then, I’ve wanted to re-work the batter into muffins and/or quick bread. Then a few weeks back I saw a delightful Carrot and Cheese Cake on Joumana’s lovely blog, Taste of Beirut; I immediately knew I wanted to remake my pumpkin spice batter into a cheesecake pumpkin spice quick bread. This bread smells like warm spices and tastes like autumn.

twice-baked potatoes with kale As I do every year, I woke up the morning after Thanksgiving with dueling urges to consume pie for breakfast as well as to repent with an endless sequence of brothy vegetable soups until I no longer dreamed of pumpkin cheesecake, cranberry caramel almond tarts and chocolate silk. I vowed make the wholesome side triumph this year, however, yet somewhere along my righteous path to eating kale salad for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I remembered that kale salad tastes absolutely nothing like pie and that was basically the end of that. By dinner that night, we were digging into terrifying heaps of spaghetti and meatballs at Carmine’s, followed by overstuffed chocolate cannolis. There wasn’t a ribbon of kale in sight. The inspiration came from a version on Food52 created by the blogger behind Brussels Sprouts for Breakfast who had served these, I think rather brilliantly, as a side to her family’s surf-and-turf Christmas Eve tradition. Serves 6 as a side; 3 as a hearty main
