Fire Roasted Salsa — I WANT TO COOK THAT
From I Want To Cook That!
The first time that I ever ate fire roasted tomatoes was at a international food fair. It was a bruschetta. I thought that I had died and gone to heaven. The intensity of the tomatoes with a smoky undertone. I loved it. I loved it even more when I found out that these were canned tomatoes. I could use them anytime of the year.
Here is a great salsa recipe to make.
Enjoy!

Food Porn Corner, Vol 26 — Beats & Burgers
From Beats & Burgers!
You know how you make a dish and you have to open a can to use part of it for an ingredient? Well! We love artichoke frittatas. I used canned artichokes, but always have some left that end up sitting in the refrigerator until I finally remember to use them in a salad. The problem is that they never taste as good as when they are an ingredient that blends with other ingredients.
I made a frittata the other day and have half the can sitting in the fridge just waiting to be gobbled up. I saw recipe and it looks so good! The only change I am going to make is to use shredded mozzarella instead of balls!
Enjoy!

Grilled Halloumi Cheese with Cherry Relish — Palate Evolved
The the Palate Evolved Blog!
Unfortunately for me, I have a problem with an elevated cholesterol. I was told to lose the cheeses. I agree with this blogger! I’ve never a met a cheese I didn’t like. One of my favorite snacks was some cheese with a glass of wine. The thought of never having cheese again was totally depressing. Talk about magnifying things out of proportion.
As a nurse, I have always taught my patients to do things in moderation. I realized that I needed to listen to myself. Now I have cheese as a special. I look for unique recipes to make. I feel less deprived. This looks like a great recipe! And Halloumi is a cheese I have never had.
From the blogger!
Confession: I’ve never a met a cheese I didn’t like. But it wasn’t until only a year or two ago that I came into contact with my absolute favorite: Halloumi. What is Halloumi cheese? It’s a semi-hard brined cheese made from a mixture of goat’s and sheep’s milk, and sometimes cow’s milk. It is salty and […]

6 And More Appetizers For Christmas!
When you start out as a beginner vegetarian, parties are really hard. Especially, if you are trying to do it in a healthy way. You don’t know how many times I have gone to a party and there really wasn’t anything that I could eat. Maybe a salad, but not too often.
People would find out that I was a vegetarian and they would look for something for me to eat. A lot of times I would get an offer of fried chicken(I am in the South). Or someone would find some shrimp. And I would explain that a vegetarian diet didn’t include either of those. They were shocked. They thought being vegetarian meant not eating beef or chicken.

I’m Going Hummus for the Holidays!
From The Whole Dish!
The first time that I ate hummus, I thought ‘eh’. What’s the big deal? Most of the hummus seemed heavy and bland. It wasn’t something that I would go out of my way for.
One day I went a party and tasted the hummus. It was an explosion of flavors. I thought OMG! This is wonderful. I realized that what I had before was all wrong. Made all wrong that is. Too much tahini. No spices.
When saw this recipe, I knew it’s something that I would be worth making. Check it out!
