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.

Jen’s Greek Crockpot Chicken

Posted by Hallee on Aug 26, 2011 in entrees, Hallee's Galley, Mediterranean, Recipes

Last week I made this great recipe. It’s one I’ve made before and my family enjoys it. I served it over rice pilaf but you could serve it over mashed potatoes or couscous.

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.

It’s a Party!

Posted by Hallee on Jan 24, 2011 in Blog Stuff, Giveaways, Hallee's Galley

My house is in a state of “too much traveling in too short of a time” chaos. In an effort to help me in the only way that he can from so far away, my awesome husband took the initiative and posted four amazing and healthy pizza recipes so that I can take the week “off” and get caught up with life. And because he is much more diligent about details than me, you’re even getting nutritional information in these recipes!

Slightly Spicy Couscous Stuffed Tomatoes

Posted by Hallee on Sep 17, 2010 in Daniel Fast, diet & fasting, entrees, Hallee's Galley, Leviticus, Mediterranean, Mexican, Recipes, Salads, sides

This dish is wonderful served as a vegetable side dish or as a light lunch entrée. Brushing the inside of the tomato shell with Tabasco adds a robust hint of the Southwest.

Tantalizing Tomato & Onion Tart

Posted by Hallee on Sep 8, 2010 in Breakfast, diet & fasting, entrees, Hallee's Galley, Leviticus, Recipes, sides, Snacks

I’ll admit that I have not yet made this dish. However, it sounds fantastic and it is more of a “when I add it to the menu” kind of thing rather than an “if I add it to the menu.” This would be an amazing brunch or lunch dish, a perfect potluck change from the normal pot of country beans, or the base for a vegetarian dinner. It is almost limitless as a dish. I cannot wait to try it.

Hummus with Sesame Paste (Hummus bi Tahini)

Posted by Hallee on May 10, 2010 in Christian Faith, Daniel Fast, diet & fasting, Hallee's Galley, Mediterranean, Recipes, sides, starters

We keep hummus in our refrigerator all the time. It is a delicious, healthy snack full of protein and just yummy goodness. I dip veggies into it, Homemade Whole Wheat Pita Bread, tortilla chips, bagel chips — whatever we have on hand. I often set it out as a starter for guests to snack on while I finish up dinner. This is a completely vegetarian dish and perfect for a Daniel Fast or Lent.

Tasty Traditional Tahini Paste

Posted by Hallee on May 10, 2010 in Hallee's Galley, Recipes, sauces & spreads

I spent years buying tahini paste that I used to make my hummus, until one day I read the ingredients: sesame seeds, olive oil. Well, goodness, I thought, I can do that. And it’s truly that simple.
