Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenWhenever I offer baked goods to my family and friends, they tend to be a little skeptical thinking that there is no way there is a “healthier” option that STILL tastes good. My dad’s famous words are “what’s in this” before he tries anything I make. My response is the typical eye roll with “JUST TRY IT!”. Even though my dad may question everything I make, he still always tries it. Making a flourless muffin that tastes as indulgent as dessert, this is one recipe no one will pass on. Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenFlourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_Kitchen

Everything Bagel Hasselback Potatoes

Who doesn’t like cheesy potatoes? Add these Everything Bagel Hasselback Potatoes as a side dish for dinner tonight.
Everything Bagel Hasselback Potatoes via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenConfession: I am obsessed with Cabot’s everything bagel cheddar cheese. Then Trader Joe’s came out with an everything but the bagel sesame seasoning blend. It’s like everything bagel heaven (without the bagel).
Everything Bagel Hasselback Potatoes via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenBefore this recipe, I’ve never actually made hasselback potatoes before, but I saw a version on one of Buzzfeed’s Tasty videos and with my new everything bagel goodies I knew it would be a perfect pair.

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry the potatoes: Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry.
  2. Cut slits in the potatoes, leaving the bottom intact. (Cut slits into the potato, stopping just before you cut through so that the slices stay connected at the bottom of the potato)
  3. Place the potatoes in a baking dish. Brush the potatoes with olive oil, including the bottoms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake 30 minutes, then brush with olive oil again, making sure some of the olive oil drips down into the space between the slices.
  5. Bake for another 30 to 40 minutes, until the potatoes are crispy on the edges and potatoes are fork tender.
  6. Remove from oven and carefully place slices of cheddar in between the slits. Bake for another 5 minutes until cheese has melted.

Smoked Salmon and Dill Sheet Pan Frittata

Serve eggs family-style with this Smoked Salmon and Dill Sheet Pan Frittata that will kick your breakfast or brunch up a notch.
Smoked Salmon and Dill Sheet Pan Frittata via Chef Julie Harrington, RD @ChefJulie_RD #smokedsalmon #salmon #breakfast #frittata #eggs #sheetpan #seafoodWay back when one of my first jobs was at a bagel shop. It was one of my favorite jobs. I worked with my friends and got to enjoy endless bagels and coffee. The only downside was getting to work at 5:00 am on a weekend.
Smoked Salmon and Dill Sheet Pan Frittata via Chef Julie Harrington, RD @ChefJulie_RD #smokedsalmon #salmon #breakfast #frittata #eggs #sheetpan #seafoodNow, I love enjoying a leisurely brunch on the weekend. One thing the bagel shop introduced me to was smoked salmon or also known as lox. I still remember this one customer who always ordered – an everything bagel with cream cheese, lox, tomato, red onion, and capers. Of course, I had to try it.

Smoked Salmon and Dill Sheet Pan Frittata via Chef Julie Harrington, RD @ChefJulie_RD #smokedsalmon #salmon #breakfast #frittata #eggs #sheetpan #seafoodThat’s when my smoked salmon love affair began. It is now a staple at my brunches. I love the addition of the smoked salmon in this frittata. Plus, baking it in the sheet pan makes it so easy to serve! Smoked Salmon and Dill Sheet Pan Frittata via Chef Julie Harrington, RD @ChefJulie_RD #smokedsalmon #salmon #breakfast #frittata #eggs #sheetpan #seafoodOften times the term lox and smoked salmon are used interchangeably, but there is a difference. Lox was traditionally only made from the belly of salmon. The salmon is salt-cured or brined but never cooked or even smoked. It has a very smooth silky texture. Smoked salmon is a much more generic term than lox. Smoked salmon can be made from any part of the fish, and it starts with salt curing or brining, just as in lox.

Quick Pickled Onions

A jar of quick pickled onions in your refrigerator gives you last-minute, tangy addition to many dishes.

Quick Pickled Onions via Chef Julie Harrington @ChefJulie_RD #pickledonions #onions #pickling #fermentedfoods #topping #condiment #makeahead

My fiance LOVES red onion. In my opinion a little too much. Now every time he makes tuna salad, I need to supervise because the last time he made it I think there was more red onion then actual tuna. It should have been called a red onion salad.

Quick Pickled Onions via Chef Julie Harrington @ChefJulie_RD #pickledonions #onions #pickling #fermentedfoods #topping #condiment #makeahead

While I do enjoy onions, raw onions are not always my favorite. I sometimes feel like they overpower a dish. Have you ever tried pickled onions instead? I now have been adding these tangy slices into my dishes to get more of a tangy red onion flavor instead that sharp and pungent red onion flavor that can take over the whole dish.


Quick Pickled Onions via Chef Julie Harrington @ChefJulie_RD #pickledonions #onions #pickling #fermentedfoods #topping #condiment #makeahead

There are so many uses for pickled onions. Add to sandwiches, use as a condiment to top tacos or egg salad, or toss them into grain salads. Their tart and tangy flavor and their bright pink color will perk up any dish.

Quick Pickled Onions via Chef Julie Harrington @ChefJulie_RD #pickledonions #onions #pickling #fermentedfoods #topping #condiment #makeahead

As the pickled onions continue to brine in the refrigerator, they will turn to vibrant pink in color. Make sure to store your pickled onions in a glass container (I used a mason jar). Most metals will react with vinegar and plastic will absorb the flavors. Plus, being able to see them is always a little reminder when I open my refrigerator to top my dishes with them.

Butternut Squash and Kale Pita Pizza

Turn leftovers into something brand new like this Butternut Squash and Kale Pita Pizza.
Butternut Squash & Kale Pita Pizza via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenDisclosure: By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Toufyan Bakeries and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.
This recipe was inspired by leftovers and of course Toufyan Bakeries. Adrian and I like to watch Chopped and anytime I have a refrigerator full of leftovers, I pretend I am on an episode. In this mystery basket, the items that I had to work with was leftover roasted butternut squash, an already baked sweet potato, and kale that was on its last legs.
Butternut Squash & Kale Pita Pizza via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_Kitchen

Butternut Squash & Kale Pita Pizza via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenI utilize pitas for pizzas often as they are the perfect size for a personal pie. Toufayan Bakeries uses old-world recipes with only top quality, wholesome ingredients. Toufayan Pita is naturally cholesterol free and trans fat-free, so it’s the perfect vessel to load with your favorite toppings!
Butternut Squash & Kale Pita Pizza via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenI was pleasantly surprised how thick, creamy, and delicious the base of the sweet potato came out, which helped the pita not get soggy when baked. The edges crisped up perfectly in the oven.
I wanted to try something different than mozzarella cheese on top, so I went for fontina. It paired perfectly with this flavor combination since this semi-soft cow’s cheese has a gentle buttery and nutty flavor.
Butternut Squash & Kale Pita Pizza via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenThe recipe notes that the balsamic glaze drizzled top is optional, but I might change that to mandatory!

Chicken Zoodle Soup

Soups on! Did you know February is Soup Season? I am kicking off Soup Season with this Chicken Zoodle Soup.This post is sponsored by the General Mills Bell Institute of Health and Nutrition on behalf of ProgressoTM and ReganMillerJones, Inc. I received free samples of the soup mentioned and was compensated for my time, but as always, opinions are my own! Thank you for supporting brands that make RDelicious Kitchen possible!
During this time of year, soup becomes almost an everyday staple for me. There is nothing better than cozying up to a warm bowl of soup on a cold winter day. If it is a soup from scratch or from a can or package, my goal is to bump up the veggies.
I get a lot of questions about canned soup from clients. Canned soup is quick & easy. It’s convenience in a can! Whether you’re cooking for one or a family, prep a meal in minutes. There is a whole aisle dedicated to just soup at my local grocery store, so it can be challenging to decide which one would be the best choice.
First, check your ingredient list. ProgressoTM is now serving White Meat Chicken With No Antibiotics. Ever! They do not include any artificial colors or flavors.
Then, check the serving size. You may be surprised, in a can of soup there is usually more than 1 serving per container. In one can of ProgressoTM Light Chicken Noodle Soup there are 2 servings. By adding zoodles, this one can of soup turned into 4 servings, which now cuts the sodium in half per serving.
Have #SoupYourWay by pairing with zoodles, a side salad, or a sandwich.

By adding more veggies, it adds an extra punch of nutrition and flavor, helps stretch your dollar, which in turn will create more servings to also help lower the sodium content.ProgressoTM is out to prove that “vegetables” and “flavors” can co-exist.

Simply pour the hot soup over the zoodles and enjoy. It can’t get much simpler than that!

If you have leftovers, make sure you are cooling down and storing properly. Leftover soup can last in the refrigerator for three days and up to one month in the freezer. Follow these steps to store soups for later use.

  1. Refrigerators and freezers cannot cool soups quickly enough for food safety protocols. Speed up the cooling process by placing the pot of soup in a bath of ice water in the sink. Stir soup to help release the heat.
  2. Label and date large ziplock plastic bags. To help pour soup in the bag, place bag in the bowl and cuff the bag over the edges. Ladle soup into each bag, let out excess air and seal.
  3. Lay bags flat in a single layer in the freezer. When completely frozen, stack bags to save space in the freezer.
  4. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.

Looking for a budget friendly recipe? You’ve come to the right place. These Southwest Stuffed Peppers will keep your stomach and wallet full coming in at only $1.06 per serving.
Southwest Stuffed Peppers via RDelicious Kitchen @rd_kitchenThe Recipe ReDux challenged members to see how low they can go and make a meal for less than $3 per serving.
Did you know that within the top 3 New Year’s resolutions #3 involved finances?
1. Lose Weight/Eat Healthier
2. Life/Self Improvements
3. Better Financial Decisions
Many are looking to make better financial decisions this year, myself included. I was curious to see how much I was actually spending on groceries per month, so I tracked it for the month to see my typical cost on groceries. Being a food blogger and one who weirdly enjoys grocery shopping, when I see new items they tend to creep into my cart. That being said, my monthly grocery spending was a little higher than I thought it would be.
Southwest Stuffed Peppers via RDelicious Kitchen @rd_kitchenEver since then I’ve been more conscious of my spending when at the grocery store. I loved that this Recipe ReDux theme was this month because I had fun shopping to see how low I can go with the cost per serving. This definitely busts the myth that “healthy eating is expensive”, considering this recipe totals to $1.06 per serving made with healthy and wholesome ingredients.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse

Looking for that perfectly portioned dessert? This no-bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse tastes rich and indulgent with a healthy twist. [No Bake] Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenDid you know yesterday was National Pumpkin Day? October 26th is when all the pumpkin-obsessed individuals rejoice! Sorry, my recipe is belated. I was busy creating and enjoying this delicious, rich, and creamy No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse. [No Bake] Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenThese mini desserts will be great to serve at a gathering or an upcoming holiday party. It’s that perfectly portioned treat and I bet no one will ever guess there is tofu in this dessert.

Yes, tofu. Silken tofu can be used to replace eggs or dairy to create a lighter dessert. Just be sure to grab silken tofu. Making regular tofu entails pressing the soy curds and separating them from the whey. For silken tofu, there is no separation or pressure exerted, and it’s often solidified right in the container. Silken tofu has a pudding-like quality. It’s very light in texture with a wonderful, creamy, rich and consistency.
[No Bake] Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenWhen my recipe tester (aka. my boyfriend) ate 3 of these in one day, I knew this recipe was a winner. I have a feeling this recipe is going to be requested much more often now.

Roasted Root Vegetable Power Bowl

I decided to use sorghum as my whole grain in this recipe because I was inspired when I met Katie Cavuto, RD at the sorghum booth at FNCE this past weekend. She just released a new cookbook “Whole Cooking and Nutrition” and I was able to sample her sorghum recipe.
Have you ever used sorghum before? When I counsel clients, I encourage them to expand their variety of whole grains in their diet. I often see that their first swap is switching white bread to whole wheat bread or white rice to brown rice, which is great, but I don’t want them to just stop there.
Ancient grains, like sorghum, have more nutrition bang for your buck. Sorghum, which doesn’t have an inedible hull like some other grains, is commonly eaten with all its outer layers, thereby retaining the majority of its nutrients. One serving of sorghum contains 5 grams of fiber and is a good source of iron!
Roasted Root Vegetable Power Bowl via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_Kitchen
I absolutely love how colorful this recipe is. More colors = more nutrients. Another plus is it’s so simple to make. Simply place your veggies on a pan to roast as you prep the remaining ingredients.
If you want a shortcut, you can use Love Beets instead of the mess of peeling beets at home. Love Beets come peeled, steamed and vacuum packed.

Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Apples and Chicken Sausage

I feel like poor Brussels sprouts have always had bad reputation. Don’t turn up your nose to nutritious Brussel sprouts. Cook them in flavorful ways like these Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Apples and Chicken Sausage.
Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Apples and Chicken Sausage via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenGrowing up did your parents tell you to “eat your Brussel sprouts!”? Some still cringe when they hear that. I would guess 9/10 times those people were eating boring, unflavored, under seasoned sprouts.
I find that with many vegetables. Try cooking veggies in a variety of cooking methods and season in different ways. I showcased this idea in a cooking class once, where we cooked cauliflower in 4 different ways: steaming, boiling, roasting, and mashing with a variety of spices and herbs. It was interesting to hear everyone’s views of which method they preferred. Just because you don’t like a vegetable one way, doesn’t mean you won’t like in another way.

Don’t count out Brussels sprouts just yet, until you try this Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Apples and Chicken Sausage recipe!
Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Apples and Chicken Sausage via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenBrussels sprouts are part of the Brassica family of vegetables, which also includes cabbage, broccoli, kale, and collard greens. They are rich in many valuable nutrients. They are an excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin K. They are a very good source of numerous nutrients including folate, vitamin A, manganese, dietary fiber, potassium, vitamin B6 and thiamin (vitamin B1) and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, iron, phosphorus, protein, magnesium, riboflavin (vitamin B2), vitamin E, calcium, and niacin.
