Depending on who you’re selling this to, baked cauliflower mac and cheese could be a comforting way to eat vegetables or a rather nutritious version of macaroni and cheese. You choose.
Brides and their best friends choose some of our most popular classes for their bachelorette parties and bridal showers. As with our other private classes, they customize the experience with a selection of delicious, creative menus. I want to share a few of the delightfully fun bachelorette cooking classes we've hosted.
This Basil Poppy Seed Yogurt Dressing comes together in a flash. Puree everything together in a blender until smooth. Yogurt, lemon juice and olive oil give it a tangy and creamy, yet not heavy base. It's flavored with basil and crunchy with poppy. It works on everything from tomato sandwiches to grilled bok choy and stone fruit salads.
This one-pan meal can be pulled together in just 12 minutes and requires only 8 ingredients, including salt, pepper and oil. I’ve fed it to my family for brunch, lunch and dinner, and they asked for more for breakfast the next day. Round out the meal with a side of creamy polenta or grits. Or serve it over a bed of chewy farro or wheat berries. If you can spare the extra mostly hands-free cooking time, my favorite accompaniment to this, however, is Rosemary Roasted Potatoes.
My Shiitake Mushroom “Bacon” Lettuce and Tomato with homemade Cashew Mayo on a Collard Green Wrap is the summer recipe for those who need alternatives to the traditional elements of the BLT but still want to celebrate the tomato. Of course you can mix and match these elements - try a vegan or vegetarian version on your favorite bread or work your usual bacon into a collard wrap to keep it gluten free. Bottom line is, you have options and don’t have to skip the BLT this summer. Just don’t replace the tomato.
