{Buddha Bowl with Cashew Curry Dressing}

Hi Friends!  I am so sorry that I did not get the weekly menu and shopping list posted this week!
Derek and I were down South (South of Minneapolis) all weekend for a big family vacation of sorts.  Think lots of people, big cabin, games, great food (lots of treats) and relaxing!  It was a blast, but I am exhausted!  

Generally after a long indulgent weekend (like this past one) I like to hit the reset button on my diet!  I guess you could call it a bit of a detox, but not the kind of detox you are thinking of.  To get my body back on track I focus on consuming lots of fresh fruits and veggies, lean protein, large amounts of water and eating as clean as I possibly can!  

One of my favorite post indulgent weekend meals I like to make is a Buddha Bowl.  I am sure you have seen these veggie/protein packed bowls all over the internet and Instagram!  Buddha bowls are a great way to load up on veggies and are easy to customize to your particular taste, plus they are just down right delicious!  The recipe I am going to share with you today features farro (one of my favorite whole grains) steamed broccoli, fava beans and a delicious curry cashew dressing, yum!  Feel free to add whatever veggies you have on hand, and omit the veggies you don't like!  Not a fan of cashews?  Try using Almond or Peanut butter!  Not a curry fan, leave it out or use cinnamon in place of curry!  These bowls really are easy to customize and make your own!

{Weekly Menu July 19th-25}

Another weekend come and gone to quickly!  But it was a wonderful one!  Boating, friends, family and a special little boys first birthday party (our Nephews)!  It was such a perfect weekend! 

We also experienced some insanely hot weather here in Minnesota, but we experienced some of the most beautiful Minnesota evenings as well!  Slightly warm, sunny and just beautiful! 

For this weeks menu I am focusing on dishes that will help me use up all the produce Derek and I have in the house, as we will be down South this upcoming weekend for his families annual weekend get away!  I secretly love weeks where I don't have to grocery shop!  SO... with that being said here is this weeks menu! 

Enjoy!

Use up leftover veggies for this recipe, best part about this recipe is you can use any veggies you have on hand! 

Happy Cooking! 

{Broccoli Salad with Lemon Honey Yogurt Dressing}

Broccoli Salad is one of my all time favorite summer pot luck salads.  I seriously carve this salad in the summer time, it is that good! 

However I have never been a big fan of the large amounts of mayo and sugar that make up the dressing! So I decided to take matters into my own hands and created a healthier salad that features Greek yogurt as the dressing base instead of mayo and subs in honey for the white sugar.  Dijon mustard and lemon juice help add that zing that we are used to in this traditional summer salad!  Dried cherries add sweetness while almonds provide crunch - delicious! 

I made my broccoli salad last week and enjoyed it as a side dish with multiple meals!  Serve this broccoli salad alongside your favorite grilled meat or fish (I served with fresh Canadian Walleye that Derek had caught) or toss some chickpeas into the salad and eat for a light Summer lunch!  Or make a big batch and take to your next Summer party, this salad will be a crowd pleaser!

{Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps}

**Updated 7/15/2015 for the weekly menu post!**

I first shared this recipe last November, and it has grown to be one of the most popular recipes on the blog!  These Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps are my healthy version of Buffalo Wings or a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich.  Perfect for a light summer dinner or enjoy them for lunch!  Enjoy - because they are delicious! 

I have a love for spicy food... there is no denying that!  In fact I am known for by my friends for my extra spicy salsa that leaves everyone searching for water... or milk to cool their mouth down!  There have also been times where Miranda and Derek have told me to lay of the spice when I have been cooking!  Usually I don't listen! 

My dad thinks I get my love for spice from my mom (apparently she could eat salsa by the jar when she was pregnant with me) but I think its a mix of both of them (my dad loves spicy food too)!  These buffalo chicken lettuce wraps pack the heat and cater to my love for spicy food!  

The spicy buffalo sauce gets a cool kick from the creamy blue cheese yogurt dressing and the lettuce wrap gives the whole dish a nice crunch!  These lettuce wraps are perfect for a quick weeknight meal or make a great game day snack!  Whip them up at your own risk... they are spicy! 

Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Brunch N'Cupcakes 

Serves 4-6

2-3 Chicken Breast 

1/2  a Large Onion - Chopped 

1/2 Cup Red Pepper - Chopped

6-8 Iceberg lettuce leaves for serving

2- While chicken is marinading sauté the peppers and onions in a large skillet coated with cooking spray.  

3- Once chicken has set for 30 minute add into hot skillet with the peppers and onions.  Sautee until chicken is cooked through. 

4 - Combine blue cheese yogurt dressing and remaining buffalo sauce in a small bowl.  Pour over chicken in the skillet and stir until chicken is evenly coated.  Cook for 2 minutes and then serve. 

**Serve with iceberg lettuce leaves, additional buffalo sauce and blue cheese yogurt dressing for dipping and drizzling! 

Enjoy! 

{Spaghetti Squash Marinara with Olives and Peppers}

I love spaghetti squash!  Spaghetti Squash might be one of my all time favorite vegetable subs for noodles.  However I cannot get Derek to eat spaghetti squash - he is not a fan... at all! 

So when I get a hankering to make a vegetable packed spaghetti squash dish I usually opt to make it on a night that Derek has plans with the guy, like Tuesdays when he is golfing!  Plus, then I get to enjoy the leftovers for lunch a good portion of the week, which makes lunch packing super easy! 

One of the things I love most about spaghetti squash is its versatility.  You can pretty much do anything you would like with spaghetti squash - Italian, Tex Mex you name it, it works!  For this dish I bulked up an Organic jar of marinara sauce with onions, peppers and green olives for a bit of zip.  Tangy salty feta is stirred into the whole dish at the end for an extra kick of flavor!  

This Spaghetti Squash Marinara is the perfect meatless Monday meal!  Throw in some beans for  little protein kick, or saute up some tempeh or tofu!  Either would be delicious! 

Enjoy! 

Spaghetti Squash Marinara with Olives and Peppers

Brunch N'Cupcakes

Serves 4 

Ingredients:

1 Spaghetti Squash 

1/2 a large onion roughly chopped 

1 Red or Orange Pepper roughly chopped 

2 Garlic Cloves Minced 

2 Teaspoons Balsamic Vinegar 

1/3 Cup Green Olives - Sliced 

1/3 Cup Feta - Cubed (I liked to buy Trader Joe's Blocks of Feta) 

1 Jar Favorite Marinara Sauce (I bought Trader Joe's Organic Tomato Basil Sauce) 

Directions:

1- Cook spaghetti squash.  I usually cut my squash in half and place cut side down in a pool of water.  I then microwave on high for 20-30 minutes until spaghetti squash is tender.  Once spaghetti squash is tender carefully scrap the squash flesh out of the skin and set aside.  

**This step can be done the night before to save on time. 

2- In a large skillet heat 1 teaspoon olive oil.  Saute peppers and onions until tender.  Add garlic to pan and cook until fragrant. 

3- Carefully add balsamic vinegar, olives and tomato sauce into the skillet with onions and peppers.  Cook for 5 minutes until sauce is heated through. 

4- Stir in spaghetti squash.  Make sure all the spaghetti squash gets covered with the marinara sauce.  Finally stir in feta cheese and serve! 

Enjoy! 

{Weekly Menu and Shopping List - July 12th - 17th}

Is it just me or does the 4th of July almost seem like ages ago?  Hard to believe we celebrated our Nations Independence just one week ago!  

Anyways, how are you all this fine day?  I am hoping that everyone had a great weekend!  Mine was low key yet packed full of fun activities!  Dinner with Derek and friends Friday night, we tried out this new little (well not really little) tap house close to our home, a girls day in Stillwater on Saturday complete with a patio lunch and a walk around downtown, and finally Church Saturday night! 

Later today I am going to get a little family time in at my sisters Baptism!  I am so proud of her for taking this next step to declare her faith in front of us and the Church!  It is going to be a great evening! 

 Did anyone else experience some insanely hot temps this weekend?  Here in MN we got up into the high 80's with lots of humidity!  Not my favorite weather, but hey its better then snow I suppose!

{Zucchini, Summer Squash and Spinach Frittata}

I will admit, the first time I made this frittata it did not look so pretty!  The frittata tasted delicious, but it looked a mess!  Half of it stuck to the bottom of my skillet and the other half well, it just looked terrible.  It would be what I call a Brunch N'Cupcakes fail.  

In my defense it was my first true attempt at making a frittata on the stove top, in a skillet... and yes, it did fail miserably.  But I was bound and determined to master the frittata, because they are one of my favorite brunch staples, and make a fabulous quick dinner!

I did a little research in my quest to prefect my frittata making skills and came across several recipes that baked the frittata in the oven using a pie plate, verses cooking it on the stove top.  This to me sounded like a much better idea, and almost a fail proof cooking method.  

I decided to give frittata making a second try, this time using my new found cooking method... and the end results were beautiful!  Cooking my frittata in the oven produced a light, fluffy and utterly delicious frittata.  So trust me, if you have ever been scared to make a frittata in the past, or have failed like I did at making one on the stove, give the oven a try!  You won't be sorry! 

Zucchini, Summer Squash and Spinach Frittata

Brunch N'CUpcakes 

Serves: 4 (larger servings) 

or 

8 (Smaller Servings)

Ingredients: 

1 Zucchini Diced

1 Summer Squash Diced

1/2 Large Onion Diced 

2 Cups Spinach 

6 Egg Whites 

4 Eggs 

2 Tablespoons Milk of Choice 

1/3 Cup Crumbled Feta Cheese 

1 Teaspoon Garlic and Black Pepper 

1/2 Teaspoon Cumin 

Salt to Taste 

Directions:

1- In a large skillet coated with cooking spray saute onions, zucchini and summer squash until tender.  Season veggies with garlic, pepper, cumin and salt.  Add spinach to veggie mixture and cook until wilted.  Set veggies aside. 

2- In a large measuring cup whisk together egg whites, egg and milk. 

3- Coat a 9 inch pie plate with cooking spray.  Carefully spoon veggies into the bottom of the pie plate, spread out in an even layer.  Top veggie mixture with feta cheese. 

4- Carefully pour egg and milk mixture over veggies in the pie plate, make sure to evenly distribute egg mixture. 

5- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes or until egg is set.  For the last few minutes of cooking turn oven broiler on high and brown the top of the frittata (be careful not to burn it)! 

Serve with a simple green salad or fruit to make a complete meal!  I topped my frittata slice with a little sriracha and avocado slices!  Delicious! 

Enjoy! 

{Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins}

I am not a huge baker, but for some odd reason I do not mind baking muffins (or quick bread)!  Not sure why... Maybe it is because you can quickly mix the batter and drop it into a baking dish or maybe it's the fact that I don't have to spend hours rolling out little balls of dough for cookies (that is my least favorite) !

Both reasons could be right.  I am also going to throw this out there... I also don't Sunday night muffin or bread baking, in a way it is kind of relaxing.  And in my mind baking a batch of muffins or quick bread symbolizes the weekend ending and a new week beginning (probably because we Derek generally eats the muffins all week for breakfast, well that is when he actually remembers to take one)!!

 Now these delightful little Banana Chocolate Chip muffins currently have me smitten.  Banana bread is one of my all time favorites, and who doesn't love a muffin studded with ooey gooey chocolate chips?  They are healthy enough for a grab and go breakfast (with a little peanut butter) and sweet enough to be eaten for an after dinner treat.  They even freeze well!  They are everything I love about muffins, and everything I love about Sunday baking - easy, quick and simple! 

Enjoy!

Wet:

2 Egg Whites 

3 Medium Ripe Bananas - Mashed 

1/3 Cup Brown Sugar

1 1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour 

1 Teaspoon Baking Powder 

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda 

1/3 Cup Mini Chocolate Chips

1- In a medium bowl combine brown sugar and mashed bananas.  Stir until well combined.  Add the rest of the dry ingredients to the banana and sugar mixture.  Stir well to combine and set aside. 

2- In a large bowl gently stir together the whole wheat flour, baking powder and baking soda.  Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. 

3- Carefully pour wet ingredients into the well you created in the dry ingredients.  Gently stir wet and dry ingredients together until incorporated, be careful not to over mix. 

4- Gently stir chocolate chips into batter. 

5- Line muffin tins with liners or spray with cooking spray.  Spoon batter into 14 prepared muffin tins.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until tops are golden brown and muffins are cooked through (test with a tooth pick)

Serve warm with peanut butter or other nut butter of choice, butter, and jelly!  Makes a great grab and go breakfast or snack! 

Enjoy!  

{Chicken Pho}

I have been wanting to try my hand at making Pho for sometime now, and finally got up the courage to actually attempt making it.  

I got the inspiration for this Chicken Pho from the Cooking Light Global Kitchen Cookbook.  I got the Global Kitchen cookbook about a year ago.  And i still remember thumbing through the brightly colored pages and immediately book marking a recipe for Turkey Pho.  Well my friends I am just now getting around to experimenting with that Turkey Pho recipe. 

 And much like the book mark in my year old Cooking Light cookbook... I am just now finally getting around to sharing this wonderful recipe with you... yes I have been sitting on this recipe for months now, just waiting for the perfect time to share it with you!  And I think that perfect time is right now! 

I love everything about this dish, the flavorful broth, the slightly chewy rice noodles, the tender chicken and the fact that this dish is loaded with veggies!  A little squirt of lime and a dab of sriracha completes it for me.  The other wonderful thing about this dish is the leftovers are amazing (it also freezes well)!  I will take this Chicken Pho to work for lunch the entire week and not get sick of it!  You need to make this, trust me!

4-Take your cooled onions and roughly chop.  Add Chopped onions, jalapeno, shittake mushrooms, shredded and shredded chicken to broth.  Cook for 10 minutes until ingredients are heated through.  Stir in fresh mint, cilantro and green onions.

Enjoy!

{Kale Salad with Tzatziki Dressing and Chickpeas}

**Reposting this recipe for this weeks weekly menu!  It is one of my favorite kale salads!  Super delicious and easy to make!  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! 

I am always trying to find news ways to incorporate kale into my daily (or weekly) diet!  I will occasionally add kale into my green smoothies, kale chips are always a fav of mine(recipe to come) or the easiest way I have found to add this leafy green into my diet is by tossing this nutritional power house into my daily green salad  (I mention in this post, my brown bag lunch packing tendencies)!

However, this time I am not just adding kale to my daily salad, this salads main ingredient is the nutrient packed leafy green!  This flavor packed salad features a zingy tzatziki style yogurt dressing, protein packed chickpeas, and kale!  This salad is delicious, full of good for you ingredients and makes lunch packing a breeze!  Make a batch Sunday for your week!

Kale Salad with Tzatziki Dressing and Chickpeas

Brunch N'Cupcakes 

Serves 3-4 

Ingredients: 

Juice from One Lemon 

1/3 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt (I used 0%) 

1/4 Cup Fresh Dill 

1 Teaspoon Fresh Black Pepper 

1/2 Teaspoon Salt (or to taste) 

 3 Garlic Cloves Minced 

1 Teaspoon Olive Oil 

1- 15 Oz. Can Chickpeas, rinsed and drained 

1/4 Cup Cucumber, Peeled and Diced 

1 Large Bunch Kale Chopped into bite size pieces (I used a half bunch of Lacinato Kale and a half bunch of Curly Kale)
1 Avocado for serving - if desired 

Directions: 

1- Place chopped kale in a large salad bowl and set aside. 

2- In small bowl combine yogurt, lemon juice, dill, salt pepper, olive oil and garlic cloves.  Mix until well combined. 

3- Pour yogurt dressing over kale and massage dressing into kale for 2 minutes,  and ensure that dressing is evenly distributed.  

**Massaging the dressing into the kale will take the bitter edge out of the kale leaves and will cause them to wilt slightly!  

4- Stir sliced cucumber into kale.  Let salad rest in the fridge for an hour. 

5- Before serving stir in chickpeas and serve immediately.

This salad will last in the fridge for up to 4 days. 

Enjoy!

{Kale Salad with Meyer Lemon Dressing}

Well, I was finally able to snap a few fabulous photos of this delicious kale salad with meyer lemon dressing! Yes, these photos show just how delicious and fabulous this simple salad really is!

This salad is full of clean flavors that all come together to create an elegant and flavorful salad.  It is inspired by a salad I had on Father's Day up in Two Harbors Minnesota (yup the North Shore on Lake Superior, we were up there Father's Day weekend to watch my sister run her first marathon).  My dad decided for his Father's Day celebration that he wanted to try a little cafe The Scenic Cafe on Old 61, which is an old scenic highway right along the Lake Superior Shore Line!  The views are amazing and the atmosphere at  the cafe was quaint and charming, and the food... fantastic!  My sister and I both had a tasty Kale Salad with Meyer Lemon Dressing, that I decided needed to be recreated at home!

I think this recipe I created is spot on!  Light, flavorful and refreshing!  All you need are a few simple ingredients; Kale, Lemons, Pine Nuts, Feta, Olive Oil, Honey and Apple Cider Vinegar... Thats it!  So simple! This little salad makes for a great light summer lunch or a great side dish for dinner.  Want to eat the salad as a main dinner dish?  Serve with grilled chicken, salmon or shrimp!  Keep it vegetarian and add chickpeas!
