When hiking the hills of North Devon recently, we noticed that the forest had a mild chive-like aroma to it. We looked around and realised why. Every single patch of soil that hadn’t already been taken by the trees was overgrown with wild garlic (also known as ramsons). Its delicate, pointy leaves looked gorgeous scalloped on top of each other, creating an intensely green, dense carpet on the forest floor....

Minestrone is one of my favorites, and this version of winter minestrone soup with lots of seasonal vegetables, such as potatoes, cabbage, kale, and parsnips doesn’t disappoint. Winter Minestrone Soup is the perfect candidate for Bowl of Delicious’s January theme of recipes that fit the Mediterranean diet. Aside from its Italian roots, this soup is packed with plant-based goodness- tons of veggies, white beans, and quinoa- staples of the Mediterranean Diet....

I’ve had ZERO time to cook. Which is why I made sure to plan for an abundance of freezer meals to quickly heat up during this hectic time. On more than one occasion, Zach and I paused unpacking and realized we had forgotten to eat. FORGOTTEN to eat. That’s very unlike me. Thank goodness for freezer meals, and specifically healthy, real food meals (like my Detox Chicken and Vegetable Soup) that helped us regain our energy and not make us feel sluggish and exhausted....

Udon Noodle Stir Fry Udon noodles are, in my opinion, the king of noodles. They’re thick, slippery, slurpable, chewy, and the perfect starchy texture for optimal sauce-clinging. This Udon Noodle Stir Fry recipe features shiitake mushrooms, which are packed with flavor and amazingly fragrant. If you can’t find them or don’t care for them, other mushrooms can be used, like cremini (baby portobello). The stir fry sauce is a simple mixture of easily accessible condiments you probably already have around....

Strictly from the eating perspective, I’ve always absolutely loved bagels. When I was introduced to the cinnamon and raisin bagel, I couldn’t believe there could be anything with a nicer texture and flavour! In the Australian suburbs where I grew up, one of the many slightly unhealthy breakfast options was a thing called “cinnamon toast”, which was a highly-sugared supermarket white bread with some added cinnamon and sultanas. I’d like to think that today’s recipe is the healthier, grownup version of everything that is good about cinnamon toast....

This isn’t a difficult dish to make if you follow my instructions, especially about removing the pan from the heat and letting it cool a little before adding the eggs to the pasta. If the pan is too hot, the eggs will scramble instead of creating that silky smooth sauce. This makes for a great dinner on busy nights, since it takes less than 15 minutes to make and uses simple ingredients you may already have on hand....

If you’re impatient: I either buy eggs from the local farmers’ markets, or the Vital Farms pasture-raised eggs.

Sfougato is a Greek baked egg dish, similar to a quiche, frittata, or baked omelette, but with the emphasis on the veggies instead of the eggs. We’ll use FOUR whole zucchini here – whereas a quiche or frittata focuses mostly on the eggs with a few extra ingredients, this casserole really features the zucchini squash in all its glory, the egg giving it structure and texture. Like most recipes with zucchini, you can easily substitute yellow summer squash in this recipe, or use a mix....

General guidelines recommend planting tomatoes 18 to 24 inches apart. However, spacing will depend on whether you are planting your tomatoes in a container or directly into the ground. It will also be influenced by factors such as the variety, plant size, the type of planting and support structure used. Tomato spacing by plant type How does tomato spacing differ by type and varietal? Tomatoes can either be determinate and indeterminate varieties, and can be compact (small) or large tomatoes....

Traditional Irish soda bread doesn’t really contain any “stuff,” aside from perhaps some raisins or currants, so you can go ahead and consider this a blasphemous recipe. But these are a super fun, miniature way to enjoy a twist on the traditional recipe, perfect for St. Patrick’s Day! This recipe allows the raisins/currants, caraway seeds, and orange zest to soften up a bit in orange juice before adding to the mixture, allowing the flavors to bloom and everything to soften....

I just love mushrooms. I love the earthy flavor and the texture. When I was little, I didn’t like them, so I feel like I’m making up for lost time as an adult. And I’m trying my hardest to get my toddler to like them, too (so far, so good- she loved these!). I especially like mushrooms as an alternative to meat in vegetarian recipes. They’re “meaty” and hearty, so they’re the perfect substitute....

Have you ever had Israeli, or pearl, couscous? It’s basically tiny circles of pasta. It has a wonderful chewy texture, a bit heartier tasting than the fluffier and smaller Moroccan-style couscous, and is the perfect base for a cold salad. This recipe toasts the couscous in olive oil before adding water to the pot and cooking, resulting in a deliciously toasty, nutty flavor that enhances the whole recipe. I do this with my orzo pilaf recipe, too....

Happy Wednesday guys, I hope you are having a good week? Mine has been a mixture of emotions, I wasn’t feeling great at the weekend to be honest, but I’ve managed to reframe my thoughts a little and the week has started off much better. I’ve been sticking to my daily routine of a quick morning yoga, 20 minute meditation whenever I can fit it in and a 5 km run every other day and I am feeling the combined benefits of all three....

It takes just over 30 minutes to get on the table and, best of all, it’s all made in one-pan so it hardly takes up any space on the stove and there’s no after-dinner mountain of dishes! It’s super comforting and nourishing and – like most of my chicken recipes – economical and family-friendly. The recipe uses boneless chicken thighs but, because chicken skin adds so much extra flavour, I like to buy bone-in, skin-on chicken cutlets, then bone them myself and leave the skin on....
