Italian Ground Beef Skillet

Posted by Hallee on Nov 18, 2011 in entrees, Hallee's Galley, Italian, Recipes

This is a quick pasta sauce that every member of our family will love. The kale is a wonderful source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as omega 3 and omega 6. You can use any kind of pasta you want when making this dish. It takes very little time to make, and using grass-fed beef and organic vegetables it’s still barely $3 per person.

Crockpot Ratatouille

Posted by Hallee on Nov 3, 2011 in Daniel Fast, diet & fasting, entrees, Hallee's Galley, Recipes

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.

Oven Roasted Tomato Sauce with Garlic & Basil

Posted by Hallee on Oct 19, 2011 in Gardening, Hallee's Galley, Preserving, sauces & spreads

My garden is STILL producing tomatoes. I had about 15 pounds the other day, and wanted to do something different with them, so I tried oven roasted tomato sauce.

Marinated Meatballs

Posted by Hallee on Feb 25, 2011 in entrees, Hallee's Galley, Italian, Recipes, Snacks, starters

These are good with a toothpick at an hors d’oeuvres party, or added to spaghetti sauce to as a wonderful topper for pasta. You can cut the meat in half with ground turkey.

Zucchini Ribbons with Parmesan Sauce

Posted by Hallee on Feb 14, 2011 in Hallee's Galley, Recipes, sides

I found this recipe while reading a book called The Reluctant Entertainer. As soon as I read it, I have been waiting for an opportunity to make it. I love the concept of making noodle strips out of zucchini. This was absolutely delicious. The perfect accompaniment to the steak with which we enjoyed them.

Rosemary & Garlic Grilled Birmingham Lamb Loin Chops

Posted by Hallee on Aug 5, 2010 in entrees, Hallee's Galley, Mediterranean, Recipes

I made this lamb in a hotel room in Birmingham, Alabama. The lamb was purchased at Fresh Market and was from a local farmer. It was AMAZING. As I type this it’s 8:00 in the morning and I’m wishing I had another plate of it.

Tasty Turnips with Turnip Greens

Posted by Hallee on Jan 1, 2010 in Hallee's Galley, Holiday fare, Recipes, sides

I don’t add meat to my greens. I love the flavor of the vegetable to be its primary flavoring. I always get compliments on how good they are.
