Crockpot Ratatouille

By: Hallee

I’d never made Ratatouille before, but my friend Jen (who has posted recipes here for me before) often does and I know her family likes it. As I was preparing the vegan menu last week for our Daniel Fast, Ratatouille came to mind and I decided to give it a go. This was an amazing recipe. The flavors are so fresh. There’s something specific about the layering of the veggies and the order in which you layer them that makes the dish so good. We served it over brown rice, but you could serve it alone, over pasta, over bread – anything, really.

Daring ‘Omega-3′ Salmon Tacos

By: Hallee

I love fish tacos. I discovered them at the Cheesecake Factory in Boston and haven’t met one I didn’t like yet.

I also love salmon. My parents are from Oregon, and my grandfather loved salmon fishing. I grew up eating salmon fresh off of the grill all summer long.

Breakfast or Brunch Beef Bacon Quiche Tarts

By: Hallee

This is the perfect brunch dish. The bacon and the onion and peppers really enhance the flavor of the eggs. I used the Granny Everman’s Yeast Roll recipe using whole wheat flour to make the crust. They were a huge hit when I took them to church for breakfast for my Sunday School class. In my pictures, I tripled the recipe.

Mirepoix [mir-pwah]

By: Hallee

In bear bones basic, a mirepoix is onions, carrots, and celery. It is typically used as a base for French soups. Bisque is a French soup, so it stands to reason that the base is going to be a mirepoix.

Favorite Turkey Salad Recipe

By: Hallee

One weekend before deployment, Gregg had a weekend pass and I was sick. He disappeared into the kitchen and came out with the most amazing sandwich. I’ve been trying to duplicate it ever since.
