Veggies and ‘Tips’ Stir Fry

Trying something new…vegetarian steak tips stir fried with veggies in a brown sugar and soy sauce glaze with a pinch of ginger and a splash of sriracha sauce. Sweet, hot, spicy, and yummy!

Pasta Primavera

Posted in Cooking, Garden, Photographs, YUM! by Sharon M. Simeone

I’m excited about spring and nothing communicates my moods better than food. I’m gradually shifting from heavy-winter-comfort-food to light-fresh-healthy meals. This dish was heavy on the veggies and light on the noodles. Light cream, a dab of tomato paste, and veggie stock from the sautéed mushrooms made a light earthy flavored sauce. Plenty of fresh and dried herbs finished it off. Delizioso!

Easter Lily

Lilies abound and I stumbled upon this perfect blossom during my Easter Day celebrations. The season of new beginnings, fresh outlooks, and promising tomorrows is here. The future may not be perfect but I know the best is yet to come.

Then, even if your beginnings were modest, your final days will be full of prosperity. Job 8:7

Shepherd’s Pie – Veggie Style

Loaded with veggies – cabbage, leeks, carrots, and portobello mushrooms. A great winter meal.

Pane Cotto

My version of the peasant Italian dish, pane cotto (cooked bread). I added sweet red peppers and got the Italian flag. 😉 With gluten-free bread, this turned out light but just as yummy and filling as the traditional way made with crusty bread. Yes, I’ve had to give up gluten, but I refuse to give up my Italian comfort food!
