Hope Wissel

 

 

Memorial Day weekend is over and we are now officially moving into the grilling season! I used to love grilling everything – chicken, beef, veggies – just about anything I could.  Now in the condo, we don’t grill.  One of the things I miss about our old house.  Check out this yummy recipe from Wicked Good Spice Mixes Company….

Ingredients:

Directions

1. Wash and pat dry boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

2. In a small bowl, mix together all seasoning ingredients.

3. Pour marinade over chicken and let sit for a minimum of 30 minutes.

4. Grill (or bake in the oven) and enjoy!

A Wicked Good Idea is Born
This woman owned company was started to show people how easy, healthy and fun it can be to make a delicious meal at home!  Rachel always thought the hardest thing about cooking is how much of this spice and how much of spice you should add.  So go ahead and throw all of those spices you use infrequently and start using our spice blends! They are fresh and economical!  Our blends are perfectly formulated to use for just about everything you like to cook.

Tasty Tuesday – Vegetarian Mediterranean Farro Salad

Hope Wissel

farro-5

 

I have been on the hunt for recipes that are high in veggies plus are quick and easy to prepare.  I found this recipe in my “in box” the other day and it sounded YUMMY!  Now, I am not a feta cheese kind of girl PLUS I can’t have dairy now so the fact that it was optional was HUGE!  I liked that this made enough to divide over a few days to have for lunch or a salad with dinner.

Ingredients:

1 cup farro
1 large cucumber
1/2 red onion
1/4 cup parsley
2 Roma tomatoes
1/2 lemon
salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1/4 cup feta cheese

Directions

Boil the farro for 10-12 minutes in large pot. (I like the pre-cooked farro from Trader Joe’s.) As the farro boils, chop the cucumber, onion, tomatoes and parsley. (If desired, chop the feta cheese as well.)

When the farro is finished, strain the grain and rinse with cold water for about 30-45 seconds.

Scoop the farro into a large bowl and add the chopped veggies.

Squeeze the fresh lemon on top of the salad and add salt and pepper to taste. (I prefer just lemon and pepper.)

Mix all together and enjoy!

If you haven’t tried farro, it is a GREAT grain to use instead of rice.  Hubby prefers it when it is used with stir-fry or chili, something that has some “juice” or gravy or sauce.  I, on the other hand, love to eat it as a side with just a few veggies.

Share your favorite recipes with us.  I would love to highlight YOUR favorites (and your business).
