CHICKEN MARABELLA

You no doubt have seen this recipe, however this is a scaled down version, better for the weeknight home cook. Budget friendly chicken thighs are combine with both savory and sweet ingredients to create this classic dish. Prunes, olives and capers are part of the marinade which creates so much flavor in the chicken.

Spiced Baby Eggplant

Spiced Baby Eggplant | Bijouxs Little Jewels

Baby Eggplants spiced and then roasted are a wonderful side dish to your dinner menu. No. 660 Spiced Baby Eggplants from the Membership Collection.

BABY EGGPLANT

Spiced Baby Eggplant | Bijouxs Little Jewels

Cruising the farmers market led me to these little jewels. Their size make the perfect side dish for two and they roast quickly. They do not collapse to mush like full size eggplant .The diminutive size also makes service and prep easy. The small size allows them to roast and serve without turning into mush. They are a great side for any barbecued entree.

Other ideas to serve the eggplant are the base of a salad tossed with some arugula and topped with crumbled feta. Yum!

SPICED BABY EGGPLANT

The spices are really the key. Cumin, coriander and chili flakes are a complement to the creamy texture. I enjoy the presentation with a squeeze of lemon, some parsley, crumbled feta and drizzle of olive oil.

Turkey & Shiitake Mushroom Soup

Turkey & Shiitake Mushroom Soup \ Bijouxs Little Jewels

This soup has been a staple for years in the Bijouxs Kitchen. It is healthy, easy to prepare and satisfying for lunch or dinner- No.655 Turkey & Shiitake Mushroom Soup new in the Membership Collection.

TURKEY SOUP

The ingredients are all supermarket friendly and create a great take on a simple Turkey Soup. One of the shortcuts is to use ground turkey meat, which cooks up quickly and is tender to eat.

CLEMENTE BAKING

Now living along the Central Coast, I like to feature local eateries, and Clemente Bakery is a favorite. I discovered these Spelt Citrus Teacakes there and had to figure out how to bake them. Think I got close. I went in and met the owner Craig Hurlbert and could see this is the real deal. Their RYE SOURDOUGH is best I Have ever eaten. Sadly I just learned they no longer bake that bread, disappointed.

SPELT FLOUR

Spelt flour is a flour made from a species of wheat with a nutty, slightly tangy flavor. It is a form of wheat so it does contain gluten. It can be used for making cookies, breads, muffins and other applications where you’d use wheat flour.

Glazed Lemon Brownies

Glazed Lemon Brownies | Bijouxs Little Jewels

Brownies get some lemon love in the newest recipe in the Collection Membership No. 645 Lemon Glazed Brownies.

LEMON BROWNIES

OK, who does not love a brownie? Think outside the box to a lemon brownie-same tender cakes but with a light lemon glaze. The technique is basically the same as a chocolate brownie, but uses lemon infused sugar and lemon extract. A simple one-bowl mix and off to the oven to bake.

PAMPERED CHEF BROWNIE PAN

I was gifted from a neighbor her extra Pampered Chef Brownie Pan. I was not familiar with these pans, but all her brownies were perfectly sized. You can use the pan to make many other recipes in single serve sizes. Single-serve bake brownies are the way to go. Mine shown here have crispy brown edges which I did not mind, all from my ancient oven that seems to burn everything:) These can of course be bake in a standard 8×8 pan.
