For the longest time, my husband and I have pasta on Thursday nights. This may be a carryover from when he was growing up. His father liked to have spaghetti on Thursdays. This past Thursday was no different, however, my daughter requested pasta with vegetables. I had the perfect recipe in my Delicious Orchards recipe file, one that had to be over 25 years old, spaghetti primavera. The veggies for this sauce include zucchini and broccoli. For the sauce you need 3 cups of canned plum tomatoes, garlic, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, butter, pine nuts and fresh basil. Trying to use what was available in my pantry, we used one box of spaghetti and one rigatoni. I substituted whole ricotta cheese for the cream. You can also omit the pine nuts. The other day while I was running errands, my daughter mixed a batch of Healthy Dark Chocolate Granola with Clusters. This recipe was found on the website “Rachl Mansfield.” Once I started eating this, I found my hand constantly returning to the container. This vegan and gluten-free granola is also dairy-free! It takes you five minutes to prepare the granola and 30 minutes baking time. You’ll need gluten-free rolled oats, unsweetened coconut shreds, chop nut of any kind, flaxseed (promotes healthy digest and regularity), chia seeds (provide fiber), cinnamon, coconut sugar, maple syrup, coconut oil, hot water, vanilla extract and Hu dark chocolate. (Ms. Mansfield recommends this brand of chocolate, but note she has partnered with them.)
This past Sunday was a lazy day for my husband and me. We had company the afternoon before and wound up staying up late Saturday night, if you can call 11 pm late! For supper on Sunday, I didn’t want to fuss too much. Whole Foods has on Prime Members special until tomorrow, air-chilled boneless and skinless chicken breast for $3.99/lb. I thought chicken paninis would be good for supper. |
