recipe redux
Leek and Tomato Frittata
Spring is here, and that means flowers are in bloom as are “the first shoots of spring.” That was the theme for April’s Recipe ReDux challenge. Unfortunately I didn’t get my act together to whip something up in time for the challenge, but I happened to make a Nutritioulicious recipe that fit the bill a few days later. There was a special on Satur Farms‘ leeks at FreshDirect (an online supermarket, in case you aren’t familiar), and although I don’t normal… read more »
Recipe ReDux: Chocolate Cookies with Dark Chocolate Chunks, Dried Cherries, and Walnuts
By Megan Kian
Some people may think of chocolate as an indulgence, but in moderation chocolate can be a part of a healthy diet.

Recipe ReDux: Pumpkin Pancakes
This month’s Recipe ReDux theme is ”Fresh from the Pumpkin Patch.” ReDuxers were put to the challenge of coming up with healthier pumpkin recipes using fresh pumpkin, if possible.

Fortunately I was able to find canned pumpkin this month (I should really thank my husband for that actually – he picked it up for me… read more »
Recipe ReDux: Butternut Squash Cream Cheese Spread
This month’s Recipe ReDux theme is “Dressing for Success.” While the original idea (by my friend and fellow RD Danielle at Food Confidence) was salad dressings, the theme was expanded to include spreads and condiments.
I have posted a bunch of dip and spread recipes in the past so I needed to come up with something new. A few years ago I made a delicious pumpkin cream cheese dip that I served with cinnamon pita chips – it was really delicious! I couldn’t find my recipe f… read more »
Recipe ReDux: Watermelon Sorbet
When I first found out this month’s Recipe ReDux theme, frozen desserts, I was a little worried. First of all, I don’t make dessert very often – don’t get me wrong, I eat plenty of it, I just buy it instead! Second, I don’t have an ice cream maker or popsicle molds, so all the ideas that originally came to mind wouldn’t work. But as I continued to think about what I would make, I realized simplicity was the way to go. Plus, I wanted to make something that most people cou… read more »
