green eggs and ham coverIt’s around this time of year that you hear about all things green. Green beer, Shamrock Shakes, and of course, green eggs and ham!  Little did I know though that there is a whole recipe page on Seussville.com devoted to, you guessed it, Green Eggs and Ham. I thought the deluxe version looked rather tasty, and might make for the perfect weekend breakfast for your significant other, or your family.

Here’s the recipe! Bon Appetit!

Green Eggs and Ham Deluxe

Ingredients:

2-4 ounces of ham

8 eggs

2 tablespoons of milk

1/4 cup of chopped chives

1/8 cup of chopped fresh parsley

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1/4 teaspoon of pepper

1 tablespoon of butter or margarine

 

1. Cut the ham into small pieces.

2. In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, ham, salt, pepper, chives, and parsley. Beat with a whisk until frothy.

 

3. Heat a tablespoon of butter or margarine in a large frying pan over medium heat until the butter begins to sizzle. Then add the egg mixture to the pan.

4. Stir the egg mixture with a spatula until the eggs are firm and not too runny.

5. Transfer the eggs to individual plates. Garnish with a sprig of parsley. Serve with toast or warm rolls.

barfi pictureSo the University of Northern Iowa is welcoming the Dalai Lama to campus soon, and to prepare, they’re hosting meals with traditional Tibetan favorites.

Being curious as we journalists are, we saw the word “Barfi” on the menu. We immediately started joking about the name (it doesn’t look good…) But then we looked up the pronunciation ahead of reading it on the air. It’s actually pronounced “burr-fee” and it appears to be an extremely tasty dessert.

I scoured the web to find some recipes for different varieties of the dessert.  I found one for Vanilla Barfi that looks pretty traditional (it’s served through many different regions of India and Asia.)

I also have a weakness for chocolate, so alas, I found a version with chocolate in it as well.  Bon appetit!

So after I finished up with chairing the 2010 Timeless Heart Ball, I needed to get my eating habits and weight in check. I am in my late 20’s, and had gained some poundage after I got married (not good!). Anyway, I decided to make a whole lifestyle change, and my husband agreed to do it with me. I’m keeping every one of my meals to less than 15 grams of fat (following the Alli weight loss plan), and exercising at least three times a week. 

beef tenderloinSo this diet has proved a challenge in some regards, but a fun one. I made Beef Tenderloin Steaks with Shiitake Mushroom Sauce from the “Cooking Light” cookbook, and even used less fat than it calls for. Instead of butter, I used only butter spray. I had our steaks hand cut at Hy-Vee’s meat counter to ensure they’d be the right portion.  This meal, served with steamed asparagus and maybe some oven roasted potatoes? Fantastic, and truly a great special occasion recipe. You could always make the sauce with other meats to trim the cost.

Bon appetit! 

Ingredients 

4  (4-ounce) beef tenderloin steaks, trimmed (1 inch thick)

1/2  teaspoon  salt, divided

1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper, divided

Cooking spray

2  teaspoons  butter

2  garlic cloves, minced

4  cups  thinly sliced shiitake mushroom caps (about 8 ounces)

1/2  teaspoon  chopped fresh thyme

2  tablespoons  balsamic vinegar

1  tablespoon  water

1  teaspoon  low-sodium soy sauce

1  tablespoon  fresh thyme leaves

1. Sprinkle steaks with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add steaks to pan; sauté 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Transfer steaks to a serving platter.

2. Heat pan over medium-high heat. Add butter to pan, swirling to coat; cook 15 seconds or until foam subsides. Add garlic to pan; sauté 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until mushrooms are tender, stirring frequently. Stir in vinegar, 1 tablespoon water, and soy sauce; cook 1 minute or until liquid almost evaporates. Spoon mushroom mixture over steaks. Sprinkle with thyme leaves.

This recipe for shrimp is made with lots of garlic, butter, olive oil, lemon juice, fresh parsley or basil, and seasoning.

•          salt, to taste

Preparation:

In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat until butter stops foaming, about 30 to 45 seconds. Add the shrimp and garlic and sauté over medium heat, turning frequently until the shrimp just turn pink, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Add the parsley, lemon juice, and salt; stir well. Remove the pan from the heat and serve immediately, with rice or a salad.

Serves 4.

Combine with this White Wine Cream sauce

This will yield you 1 qt/32 ounces

1 tsp unsalted butter

3 oz diced onion

2 bay leaves

16 oz dry white wine

1 lbs shrimp shells (adds a great depth of flavor)

1 qt heavy cream

1 tsp kosher salt

1.5 tsp black pepper

1 Tbsp sour cream 

1 Heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, add the onion and bay leaves and sauté until the onion is translucent.

2 Add the wine and shrimp shells (if you have them) and reduce by half. Add the cream and reduce by half again, or until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Add salt and pepper.

3 Strain the sauce through a china cap (fine sieve) pressing well to remove all the liquid from the shells, and then add the sour cream.

4 If you have an immersion blender pulse the sauce a few times just before adding the garlic shrimp and plating, or give it a good mix with a wire whisk. Helps lighten the sauce a touch.

I threw an “Ugly Christmas Sweater” Party last week, and chose to make an old standby. I always have people ask me for this recipe! It’s super tasty, and SUPER easy. Great for a family get-together. It’s called “Artichoke Heaven.”

hot artichoke dip3/4 Cup Mayo

1 Cup Kraft Grated Parmesan Cheese

1 Can Artichoke Hearts

1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic (you can add more if you want more garlic flavor!)

1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice or Apple Cider Vinegar

Mix everything together (make sure the artichokes are kind of broken up). Put into a baking dish, and bake at 350 until bubbly and starting to brown on top. Usually between 25 and 30 minutes. If you want the top to brown a little more, you can always use the broiler in the last few minutes.

Hopefully you enjoy this! It’s great with crackers, or served on a slice of toasted baguette.

Bon Appetit!
