Happy Earth Day! There are so many food scraps that are often thrown out but can be repurposed into something new, just like this Parsley Stem Pesto.Parsley Stem Pesto over Roasted Asparagus via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_kitchenWith today being Earth Day, The Recipe ReDux members were challenged to show how to reduce food waste. Whatever you would normally toss, use it up! I use a lot of fresh herbs in my kitchen, but the stems usually end up in the trash, which is crazy because the stems actually have more of an intense flavor.Parsley Stem Pesto over Roasted Asparagus via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_kitchen
I loved this month’s theme because it got me thinking of the amount of food waste that tends to happen in my kitchen. So instead of tossing my parsley stems, I created a parsley stem pesto.Parsley Stem Pesto over Roasted Asparagus via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_kitchenThe typical herb to use in pesto is basil, but really any herb will do. Boy, do those stems have great flavor! The pesto is this intense green color with a fresh and flavorful zing to it.Parsley Stem Pesto over Roasted Asparagus via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_kitchenI also subbed pine nuts for walnuts. I tend to like my pesto a little thicker, so the walnuts are great for that. Plus, walnuts were what I had on hand and a great source of polyunsaturated fats!

This Broccoli Cauliflower Salad is light and refreshing, being a perfect addition to your spring menu.

Broccoli cauliflower salad with red onions and almonds in a white bowl

Now that the weather is finally warming up here in NJ, my cooking methods start to shift. Roasting is one of my favorite cooking methods for vegetables, but as the weather warms I begin to not use my oven as frequently.

cold broccoli and cauliflower salad with red onions

All winter long I’ve been on a roasted broccoli kick. Broccoli was on my shopping list every week. I am surprised I didn’t get sick of it after a while. This time when I grabbed the broccoli from the fridge, I knew I wanted to do something different.

Add this Broccoli Cauliflower Salad to your spring menu rotation.

Instead of roasting this head of broccoli, this time I steamed it. Steaming was never my favorite until I figured out how to perfectly steam broccoli to my liking. Before steamed veggies would always be a little blah and mushy. I like a good crunch to them. Now I gently steam them, then shock them to keep their crisp.

Culinary term: Shocking

“Shocking” is a culinary term that refers to a rapid change in temperature, usually caused by plunging the food into an ice bath.  It’s most often used with veggies that are being steamed or boiled.

Oh, don’t forget about the cauliflower. I steamed and shocked that too to keep some crunchy texture to those florets too. This salad is so refreshing and a perfect addition to your spring menu.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cauliflower rice can replace rice in any recipe for a low-carb option. Try this Spanish-Style Cauliflower Rice inspired by traditional Spanish flavors. 

cauliflower rice in a white square bowl

My fiance’s family is originally from Spain and over the years of us dating, I’ve really come to learn about Spanish cuisine and now love using certain spices that are common in traditional Spanish dishes. One spice that is commonly used is smoked paprika.

cauliflower rice with almonds

What is smoked paprika?

Smoked paprika is a Spanish cousin to the more widely used sweet Hungarian paprika. It’s made from pimiento peppers that have been dried and smoked over an oak fire, then ground into a fine powder. It has a deep red color and a smoky aroma.

Spanish-Style Cauliflower Rice on a marble slab with almonds

Cauliflower rice has become one of my favorite side dishes because it cooks up so quickly, plus it adds a full serving+ of vegetables to a meal.

Cauliflower is a member of the cruciferous vegetable (or Brassicaceae) family- along with broccoli, cabbage, kale, Brussel sprouts, and some other less common varieties.

Cutting a pineapple can be a little tedious and messy in the kitchen, but one kitchen gadget that can help is an all-in-one corer slicer. I have a ton of kitchen gadgets and some may be used only once in a blue moon, but this one is super useful!

Chickpeas, also called Garbanzo Beans, are the most widely consumed legume in the world?Lemon Parsley Chickpeas via RDelicious Kitchen @rdkitchenChickpeas are a great balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. With the new USDA guidelines, along with many other beneficial improvements now encourages healthy eating patterns to include:

A variety of protein foods, including seafood, lean meats and poultry, eggs, legumes such as beans and peas, soy products, and nuts and seeds.

Hear those crickets? I haven’t made a recipe in over a week. I am finally back in action after being sick for a few days. I’ve thought of so many recipe ideas, but I didn’t have the energy or appetite to cook this week.
Garlic Parmesan Smashed Potatoes via RDelicious Kitchen @rdkitchen
When did potatoes get such a bad reputation? I’m so tired of hearing, “they are too starchy” or “potatoes have too many carbs”. Potatoes are rich in B-complex vitamins, which help your body form blood cells and make energy from the protein, carbohydrates and fat from the food you eat. Additionally, potatoes are a great source of vitamin C, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium.

Six ingredient stuffed tomatoes with whole grains can be eaten as part of a main dish or as a vegetable side.

Quinoa Stuffed Tomatoes via RDelicious Kitchen @rdkitchenMost of my recipes are inspired of the game “What’s in my fridge?”. This usually happens at the end of the week, when there are leftovers or a few items here and there from other meals of the week. I feel like I’m en episode of Chopped and Ted Allen is giving me a mystery basket to cook with.
Quinoa Stuffed Tomatoes via RDelicious Kitchen @rdkitchenI used leftover quinoa, or you can use essentially any whole grain you like in this recipe. If you don’t have any leftover quinoa, you can always use this quick alternative.
This recipe can be easily adapted with the flavors you like. I added spinach, mushrooms, and garlic because that was what was in my fridge!

Have leftovers? The next morning, I reheated a quinoa stuffed tomato with a fried egg on top. A fried egg on top can make everything better.. am I right?
Now you can never say when you open your fridge, “I have nothing to eat!”. Just play “what’s in my fridge” and you’ll be surprised what you can come up with!
