Cooking with Kurt: Chorizo with Peppers and Onions

I grew up eating Chorizo with Peppers and Onions as it was a staple down near Fall River (a predominantly Portuguese area).  I love this as a winter-time comfort food as it has a little kick (spicy) to it.   Ingredients are simple and should take little time to make!

Cooking with Kurt: Cauliflower Shepard’s Pie

Shepard’s Pie is one of my childhood favorite dishes, but as you can see… it’s been veggified!  More veggies, less starch, better for you!

Cooking with Kurt: Tilapia with Olive/Caper Relish

I love fish… I just hate cooking it because it makes the apartment smell like fish for a week!  I spent last night lighting over a half a dozen candles to drown out the smell.  And guess what?  It still smells…  Once you do cook it and make a very tasty meal though, it is [...]

Cooking with Kurt: Eggplant Parm

This comfort food is always great for the wintertime and will last a whole week! Well… for 2 people anyways.  I’ve made this healthier but I do add a lot of cheese (low-fat) but hey, who doesn’t like cheese?!  I do make a meat sauce (lean turkey meat) but you can make this entirely vegetarian [...]

Cooking with Kurt: Salmon (with optional) Barley Lentil Salad

Cooking with Kurt:  Salmon (with optional) Barley Lentil Salad

This one is really short because it is really easy and fast!  It is not only really healthy for you, it is very tasty and you’ll need 20-25min max!  I don’t have a grill, so we’ll be doing this indoors in an oven.  The barley lentil salad is optional as I don’t make it all [...]

Cooking with Kurt: Breakfast Burritos

No pictures for today’s recipe of the week (I’ll put one up tomorrow) but it is a great way to start your day… for a week! Again, I make things in bulk so I don’t need to cook first thing in the morning or every night as we all have busy schedules. And in most [...]
