Loaded Italian Nachos with Zucchini

September 1, 2017 by Emily Leave a Comment

These nachos have been a dream of mine for a very, very long time. Years ago Kris and I were out to dinner with friends at Old Chicago, and they ordered Italian Nachos. Sounds delicious, right? Well, when they arrived at the table I saw that they were made with wonton wrappers as the chips! And it just didn’t work for me. Wonton wrappers as chips…okay if you’re doing some sort of Asian twist on nachos, but wonton wrappers with Italian nachos…not so much. I don’t remember what they had as toppings but I always thought I could do better. And I’m pretty sure I’ve succeeded. So here’s my version of Loaded Italian Nachos with Zucchini.

Chopped Salad Base Mix

If you’ve been following me for a while you know that I eat a lot of salads. Awhile ago Kris and I had a chopped salad phase. It was a lazy phase in which I bought pre-chopped salad mixes from the grocery store. The only problem is that I didn’t use everything that came in the package. I usually tossed the croutons or tortilla strips and only used the salad dressing about half the time. And then I would add a protein and usually some chopped nuts or seeds. The pre-made salad mixes are a little pricey too. So I finally got in the habit of making my own Chopped Salad Base Mix and then can customize it however I want.

Roasted Mini Eggplants – The Cutest Side Dish that You Need to Make

July 19, 2017 by Emily 27 Comments

These are by far the absolute cutest thing in my garden. I didn’t even know mini eggplants existed until a few months ago. And now they’re growing in my garden, and I don’t think I can live without them.

So because I’m crazy for these mini beauties, sharing a recipe was a must. Now I understand that not everyone is going to be able to find mini eggplants. Maybe try the farmer’s market or Whole Foods? But even if you can’t find these in the store, you can still purchase regular eggplants and roast them the same way.

I just recommend searching high and low for the mini ones. Or being very jealous that I have these in my garden!
