Healthy Creamy Greek Dressing

Published on January 31, 2016 by Nicole Last Modified on July 30, 2021 / 7 Comments

Healthy Creamy Greek Dressing | Culinary Cool www.culinary-cool.com

We did something crazy in the month of January. We stopped eating meat. Chicken, pork, beef – we gave it up cold turkey (pun intended).  It was easy for Scott.  He was a vegetarian before I met him.  Once I became the primary chef, meat began to make an appearance.  I’m terrible, I know.  It was…

Shakshouka | Culinary Cool

Is anyone else sick of seeing smoothie recipes everywhere?  A smoothie for breakfast has never satisfied me.  I would rather chew my food than suck it back with a straw.  There.  Someone had to say it.   I’m most certainly not a smoothie girl.  Milkshakes, yes.  Smoothies, no. I would rather fill my belly with a…

Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon & Dijon

Roasted Cauliflower | Culinary Cool

I feel as though a major detox is in order.  We just spent the last 10 days on vacation, touring around the South.  We spent some time in Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee.  My favourite place was New Orleans, where I ate Beignets every day we were there.  Looking back on our meals, we…

Roasted Chickpeas

Roasted Chickpeas | Culinary Cool

Chickpeas are friggin’ awesome, don’t you think?  I’ve got a decent stash of both dried and canned organic chickpeas in my pantry at all times.  Hummus is always a good standby snack, but sometimes I get bored of it.  Sometimes, I just want a crunchy snack I can eat with my hands.  That’s where this…

Peanut Butter Protein Balls | Culinary Cool

Bonjourno, long time, no see.  Life has been a touch busy for me lately; plenty of yard work and teaching.  Ive decidedly been laying low. We took a quick getaway to San Francisco and Napa Valley at the end of July and, no word of a lie, we ate pastries, every. single. day.  How could…

Greek Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Published on July 3, 2014 by Nicole Last Modified on July 30, 2021 / 1 Comment

Greek Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

This recipe is a simple, meatless meal that is loaded with Greek flavors. ‘Round here, I’m usually solely responsible for thinking of supper ideas.  So when my boyfriend suggested stuffed peppers (something we have never made before) I was shocked.  For one thing, I have no idea how he even knows what a stuffed pepper…

Avocado Salsa

Avocado Salsa

Friends, can you believe that there was a time when I hated tomatoes?  It’s true.  I would pick them out of everything, and even scraped the sauce off pizza.  This was a legit hatred.  I’m glad to report, that I no longer hate tomatoes, but I don’t love them either.  If they’re canned, or cooked…

Gluten-Free Double Chocolate Chip Muffins

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Muffins via Culinary Cool

It’s no secret I love chocolate.  I’ve mentioned this many times before.  If it has chocolate, I want it and these muffins were no exception. Generally, if chocolate is involved, it means it’s not very good for you.  Well today, I’m here to put that myth to rest.  These beauties contain no wheat flour, making…

Peanut Butter and Banana Chia Seed Pudding

Peanut Butter Banana Chia Seed Pudding

Everyone knows what chia seeds are.  We all grew up with Ch-ch-ch-Chia Pets, or at least knew someone who had one.  By now, everyone knows they’re good for us to eat, so instead of wasting them on a failed attempt at growing some hair on hopeless Homer Simpson, you might as well sprinkle them on…

I’m happy to say that the first post of 2014 is a healthy one!  I’ve been looking for a healthy snack to satisfy the sugary cravings I’ve been getting lately.  These apple chips are the perfect thing to munch on when the mood strikes.  I feel less guilty eating apples with a touch of sugar…
