Ful is a traditional Middle Eastern breakfast meal. It is a stick to your ribs breakfast and makes a warm light vegetarian dinner. Ful Medames, also know as Egyptian Fava Beans, may be found in many supermarkets, and at many international markets.
Breakfast for Dinner
Growing up I loved the surprise of having breakfast for dinner. Now, I think of the breakfast for dinner option as a quick fix meal. This sandwich is really just a riff on a the flavors of a Croque Monsieur (eggs and cheese) and a Monte Cristo (turkey and the sweet from maple syrup), it is really neither of the two, but the sandwich tastes great. Substitute ham for the turkey, use your favorite cheese, and you can substitute any soft white bread for the croissant, although you lose the buttery edge. The EDOD team and I had fun filming this video as the “last shot of the day” and you can see I am a little sassy about the maple syrup at the end. It’s the kind of dinner you can put together with ingredients hanging around in the refrigerator, and have a little fun.
Chicken with Lemon and Basil Cream Sauce
This chicken dish hails from when I was working as a personal chef. The sauce was stored separate from the chicken in the refrigerator and clients could simply arrive home, warm the chicken and the sauce then dress with the fresh basil and lemon zest right before serving. I also found that the dish was one that froze well, and I would package single serving portions that could be pulled from the freezer when needed. I recommend that entrées stored in the freezer be used within 1 to 2 weeks for best results.
Radish Salad Lugano
In looking for an easy, fresh and new salad to serve as a side dish for the holidays I considered the humble, yet beautiful radish. Radish Salad Lugano features the 3 C’s essential for a holiday side dish – color, crunch and cinch! Holiday Bijouxs are back in swing.
Pumpkin Cobbler
In my relentless recipe search for all things pumpkin to fill the Thanksgiving table, I discovered Pumpkin Cobber, and have never looked back. It’s pumpkin pie sans the crust, instead with a sweet, soft puffy cobbler crust that cradles the spiced pumpkin filling. Another holiday Bijouxs just in time for Thanksgiving.
