Frozen PB&B Bites
Frozen Peanut Butter and Bananas The Tiny Kitchen Assistant is indignant that I haven’t shared this before. I’ll let him tell the story. “So you take the banana — not green, but not really mushy — and cut it into lots of circles. Then you put some peanut butter in the middle. Mom likes the […] Read More
Banana Applesauce Oat Cookies
Healthy Oatmeal Cookies This is an odd one, scrawled on the back of a napkin and handed to me by a stranger in a coffee shop after an impromptu conversation. It has no flour, no added sugar, and can be dairy-free. Oh, come on. Stop rolling your eyes. It passes the Tiny Kitchen Assistant test, […] Read More
Baked Falafel
Can You Bake Falafel? I made my first falafel this year, and while it’s really tasty, it’s a royal pain in the butt to make. Want to guarantee that the Tiny Kitchen Assistant will need your help? Fry something that requires your undivided attention. When I made my last batch of falafel, I had a […] Read More
Balsamic Strawberry “Pizza”
Balsamic Strawberries and Mozzarella This recipe is modified from one that I saw at the farmer’s market. Their recipe was for a balsamic strawberry and mozzarella crostini appetizer. Let me be upfront about this: while that sounded absolutely amazing, I don’t do appetizers. I’m lucky that I can get a one-course meal onto the table […] Read More
Pepper and Egg Sandwiches
Grilled Bell Pepper and Egg Sandwich I’ve been looking for more (any?) meatless options in our meal plan, and when I stumbled across Bryn’s post about grilled bell pepper and egg sandwiches over at Writes4Food.com, I had to give it a try. I did make a few changes, not the least of which was serving […] Read More
Tabouli, Tabbouli, Tabbouleh
Bulgur and Parsley Salad After my seemingly endless quest for curly parsley (not cilantro, Helpful Produce Department Guy), I found myself in possession of a lot of parsley. What on earth do you do with that much parsley? The answer is tabouli. Or tabbouli. Or however you spell it. Ingredients 1 cup bulgur, cooked according […] Read More
Falafel Friday
Homemade Falafel Recipe This all began one Friday night while I was wasting my evening on Twitter. The ever-entertaining @erinscafe was attempting to make homemade falafel with limited success. Before I knew it, I was offering unsolicited advice to strangers via the Internet. Mind you, I had never made falafel, yet I still offered advice. People, this […] Read More
Everybody Loves Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup
Creamy Tomato Orzo Soup “I love tomato soup,” declared the Tiny Kitchen Assistant, apropos of nothing. “Ms. Z makes it for us all the time.” As a kid who isn’t terribly fond of soup in general, this seemed too good to be true. I figured that I’d make the soup and he wouldn’t eat any, […] Read More
Wild Rice Pilaf Bake
Sorta Meatless Monday I’ve been trying to make less meaty meals. I’m not vegetarian, but I also know that we don’t need as much meat as what the men of the house would naturally gravitate towards. One of my projects has been to find meatless or limited-meat meals that are hearty enough to stand on […] Read More
Steel Cut Oats in the Rice Cooker
Easy Steel Cut Oats Those of us who make steel cut oats know that they take a bit of time and some stovetop management: boil, simmer, stir. And then one day, it dawned on me: the rice cooker can do all of this for me! I’ve already tried to convince you that you need a […] Read More
