Baked Spanish Tortilla with Potato, Bell Pepper, Onion, Kale, Tomato, and Feta

by Pam on January 26, 2014

I grabbed what I had in the refrigerator and adapted this Martha Stewart Spanish Tortilla ^[1]recipe. I sautéed the onions, pepper, with the potatoes until tender and golden brown then added the kale for a minute or two. I turned off the heat and added the egg mixture along with the tomatoes and feta. I placed it in a preheated oven for 12 minutes. It turned out light, fluffy, and so flavorful. I was particularly happy that the bottom wasn’t overcooked – yay! I loved the tender potatoes with the sweetened onions and tomatoes mixed with the fluffy eggs and salty cheese. It was a great combination of flavors and textures and my husband and I both loved it.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Heat the olive oil in an OVEN PROOF pan over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and potato slices to the hot skillet. Season with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder, to taste. Cook, stirring often, for 10-12 minutes, or until tender and golden brown. Add the kale and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes then remove the skillet from the heat. Add the egg mixture along with the tomato halves and feta cheese. Season the top with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Place into the oven and bake for 12 minutes or until light and fluffy. Don’t overcook. Remove from the oven then slice and serve. Enjoy!

Peppermint Meringues

Light and airy peppermint swirls. ‘Tis the season for all things peppermint, shopping and big wooly mittens, cookies and hot cocoa, and of course, cookie exchanges.

And what can be more symbolic this time of year than peppermint flavored cookies.

The taste of these meringues is somewhere between a cookie and a candy cane. I found out by accident that dissolving one into my morning coffee with a little whipped cream instantly makes me feel like I’m drinking a Starbucks Peppermint Latte. I bet it would be yummy in hot cocoa too!

Meringues are made with egg whites and sugar, so they are naturally low-fat and gluten-free. They can be flavored with different extracts to get different results, and baking them in different temperatures will yield different textures. Some of my favorites varieties include the Chocolate Chip Clouds^[1], Black and White Clouds^[2], and To Die For Coconut Cookies^[3].

These beautiful candy cane gems are colored with a paint brush and a little gel paste food coloring (available at Michaels) just before piping to give you the peppermint stripe. Completely optional of course, but it really makes the cookie. Always use metal bowls and beaters and be sure they are squeaky clean before making meringues to guarantee good results.

Calories: 21 • Fat: 0 g • Carb: 5 g • Fiber: 0 g • Protein: 0.5 g • Sugar: 5 g
Sodium: 6 mg

Ingredients:

    • 3 large egg whites
    • 3/4 cup sugar
    • 1 drop peppermint concentrate or 1/2 tsp pure peppermint extract
    • Red gel-paste food coloring

Directions:

Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Fit a pastry bag with a small open-star tip (such as Wilton M1). Set aside.

Place egg whites and sugar in the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer. Set bowl over a pan of simmering water, and stir gently until sugar has dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.

Transfer bowl to an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Mix in peppermint concentrate.

Using a new small paintbrush, paint 2 or 3 stripes of red food coloring inside the pastry bag. Fill bag with 1 to 2 cups meringue. Pipe small (3/4-inch-high) star shapes onto prepared baking sheets. Refill bag as necessary, adding food coloring each time.

Bake cookies until crisp but not brown, about 1 hour 40 minutes. Shut the oven off and leave in the oven for 30 minutes. Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks then place in a sealed container.

Makes 90 – 100 small cookies.

Sauteed Asparagus with Dijon Vinaigrette

by Pam on November 5, 2012

I wanted to find a simple but different recipe for the asparagus I had in the refrigerator. I stumbled upon this recipe from Martha Stewart and decided to give it a try. I adapted it a bit by adding a little garlic and sugar to the vinaigrette. I loved the flavor the vinaigrette gave to the asparagus and it turned out really delicious. This side dish paired nicely with the Apricot-Soy Pork Chops.^[1]^[2]

Whisk together mustard, vinegar, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and sugar, to taste, in a small bowl.

Heat a skillet that has been coated in cooking spray over medium heat. Add asparagus, and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring frequently, until asparagus are just tender, 5-6 minutes.

Drizzle the asparagus with the vinaigrette, toss, and serve immediately. Enjoy.
