{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Hi everyone!

 

Hi everyone!

I'm brand new to the group, I just wanted to say hello and tell you a little bit about myself. I am a mother of two children under the age of 5. We have a very hectic household, and I am looking to start making some healthier food choices and meals for my family. I can't wait to see what you have in your pot, and I can't wait to share what's in mine! Happy cooking!

Andrea

{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Everythings Better with Bacon

 



Baked Apples and Bacon - Serves 4
Recipe By: Tyler Florence
Published in: Tyler's Ultimate

Ingredients
12 strip applewood smoked bacon
4 to 6 sprigs fresh thyme -- leaves only
3 med Golden Delicious apples
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoon superfine sugar
Baby arugula

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Arrange the bacon on a sheet tray, sprinkle with some of the thyme and bake until crispy, about 12 to 15 minutes.

Slice the apples horizontally to create 5 to 6 cross sections of the apple. On a separate sheet tray lined with a silpat or parchment paper lay the apples out in a single layer and drizzle with a little olive oil. Sprinkle a little sugar and thyme on each slice then bake in the oven until the apples begin to dehydrate and sugar has melted and caramelized, about 8 to 10 minutes

To serve, lay the apple and bacon slices, alternating, in a long overlapping line on a serving platter. Or, break the bacon pieces in half and reassemble the apple slices back together, placing crispy bacon pieces in between each slice. Garnish with arugula and serve.

{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Moroccan Couscous Soup - {harira Couscous}

 

Moroccan Couscous Soup - {harira Couscous}

soups/stews

6 cups warm vegetable or chicken stock
(in a pinch you can also use water)
3/4 cup fast-cook couscous
5 tablespoons butter
Salt; to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper; to taste
1 pinch saffron
1 1/2 teaspoons ground aniseed
1/4 cup finely-chopped cilantro

Mix the stock, couscous, butter, salt and pepper, and saffron in a saucepan
and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for three minutes. Stir in
the aniseed and cilantro. Serve immediately -- if you delay it will turn
into a gloppy mess.
Serve hot to 6 people.
Comments: This buttery and aromatic mideastern soup is both beautiful and
palate-stimulating as a first course to plain, solid fare as well as to a
Moroccan meal. It's especially terrific on those occasions when unexpected
guests arrive for dinner. Why? Because the couscous continues to expand
in everyone's stomach, leaving a feeling of fullness and repletion. And
it's lightening fast to make.

{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Pasta Beef Soup Recipe

 


Pasta Beef Soup Recipe

Convenient canned goods, tomato juice and a frozen pasta-vegetable
medley make it flavorful and fast. But it's also flexible because you
can use other ingredients, such as a different frozen pasta-vegetable
blend. On occasion, I stir in shredded zucchini or yellow squash,
too.—Brenda Jackson, Garden City, Kansas

This recipe is:

Healthy

Quick

* 6 Servings
* Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Ingredients

* 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
* 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) beef broth
* 1 package (16 ounces) frozen pasta with broccoli, corn and carrots
in garlic-seasoned sauce
* 1-1/2 cups tomato juice
* 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
* 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
* 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions

* In a large saucepan, cook beef over medium heat until no longer
pink; drain. Add the broth, pasta with vegetables, tomato juice,
tomatoes and Italian seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and
simmer for 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Serve with
Parmesan cheese if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
