Recipes Under 400 • Egg and Spinach Quiche Cups 10 ounces frozen... Baked Apple Chips I am totally guilty of snooping in other peoples carts at the grocery store. I want to know what other people are getting. What if I'm missing out on something! Saturday (after my super muddy FUN mud run and 5 showers later) we went to the grocery store and the lady in line ahead of us had a bag of baked apple chips in her cart. YUMMMers. I thought these would probably not be that complicated to make myself...I also figured they would taste better warm and fresh out of the oven. What you will need:2 applesCinnamonDirections:Remove apple core. * UPDATE: Check on them at the hour mark and every 30 minutes after that. These were SO good!! Minimally Invasive » Yep, More Chicken Hi, it’s me, your favorite disappearing blogger! I’ve been tied up with work and taking care of the doggies while Gil‘s away this week, but I didn’t want to let too much time pass before posting about this heavenly dish – skillet rosemary chicken. I still haven’t quite figured out what makes it so wonderful because there’s nothing out of the ordinary about it. I mean, combining chicken with lemon, potatoes, garlic & rosemary… ROSEMARY! But really, there’s just something about it that knocked my socks off. It’s probably the copious chicken fat the potatoes and mushrooms roast in, now that I think about it. recipe after the jump Skillet Rosemary Chicken lightly adapted from Food Network If I plan ahead next time, I’ll probably marinate the chicken for a couple of hours before continuing with the recipe. Preheat the oven to 450. Pile the rosemary leaves, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and the red pepper flakes on a cutting board, then mince and mash into a paste using a large knife.

Fruit Salsa with Baked Cinnamon Chips There are so many things I love about Disney World. The highlight for me is always at night on Main Street watching the fireworks and eating Apple Pie Caramel apples. We bought not ONE but TWO of them, at $8.95 a pop, just to make sure they tasted like the ones I make…and they do. Here’s a refreshing fruit salsa that is perfect for BBQs, baby showers…you name it. I brought this to my friend’s baby shower and the hostess of the shower had made the exact same thing. I opted to only put 1 Tablespoon of white sugar and leave out the brown sugar since my fruit was pretty sweet already.

Recipe for Roasted Cabbage with Lemon (For Phase One Fridays I highlight Phase One recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites. This Roasted Cabbage with Lemon was first posted in March 2010, and I've made it many, many times since then.) My friend Robin lives about 45 minutes away from Salt Lake, so sometimes when she has an early morning meeting she stays at my house. Last Friday was one of those nights, and since Robin loves cabbage I knew it would be a perfect time to test this recipe. Robin and I loved this roasted cabbage so much I made it again the very next day to take photos for the blog. Start preheating oven, then cut one head of cabbage into 8 wedges, cutting through the core. Carefully trim the strip of core on the edge of each cabbage wedge and lay cabbage wedges on a baking sheet so they aren't crowded. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice. Roast cabbage 15 minutes, or until the side touching the pan is nicely browned, then turn each piece carefully. Instructions: Printer Friendly Recipe
The Tidy Nest: Freezer Smoothies We have been enjoying smoothies for breakfast this summer. Smoothies are a quick way to eat a healthy breakfast using fresh ingredients. We still have a lot of blueberries in our freezer from our trip to the blueberry patch and quite a few strawberries from various summer sales. To make these smoothies go together even faster, I divide the fruit and yogurt into serving size baggies and store them in the freezer. The fruit is already washed and chopped and I freeze the yogurt in ice cube trays to divide it into the appropriate serving size. For a smoothie that serves two, I use about 1 1/2 cups fruit and 3-4 yogurt cubes (approx. one tablespoon each). I throw all of the packets into a large freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. Freezer smoothies make breakfast quick and easy! I'm linking to these great sites...

Serve this over mixed greens or tostadas as a main dish or you can put this in martini glasses as a fancy appetizer. This is perfect to bring to a potluck, or you can halve the recipe for less servings. Fresh crab is always best but if that's not available near you, canned lump crab would do. For the corn, you can roast the corn on the grill, or if you are lucky enough to live near a Trader Joe's, they sell roasted frozen corn which is such a convenience. 12 oz lump crab meat1 pint grape tomatoes, cut in half1 hass avocado, diced2 hot peppers such as serrano or jalapeños, diced fine (seeds removed for mild)1 1/2 cups roasted corn kernels 1/3 cup chopped red onion 2 limes, juice of (or more to taste)1 tsp olive oil2 tbsp chopped cilantrosalt and fresh pepper to tasteDirections:
