Recipes of the Month
I love to cook and bake. Some of my happiest times are in the kitchen. It's my way of stress-relieving and one way in which I get to feel creative. I'm always on the look-out for yummy (and sometimes not as nutritious) recipes to spice up my life - pun intended. Here are my favorites this month:
1 Baked Quinoa-Crusted Chicken
A healthier take on fried chicken. Quinoa is a whole grain that is gluten free and is much like rice. This recipe is packed with protein. Serve it with some veggies and you have a meal!
2 Slow Cooker Granola
Homemade granola made easy! Simply combine your ingredients into your slow cooker, stirring occassionally, and BOOM! Try it with different dried fruits.
3 Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup
Classic comfort food, but with a twist! Take your tomato soup game up a level and add some roasted red peppers and other delicious flavors. Serve with some french bread and enjoy.
