Dh made a tasty sandwich a few weeks back using Tribe Red Pepper Hummus and Lite Flatout flatbread. See his wrap here. I love Tribe and Flatout and it’s the perfect snacks to keep on hand especially during the holidays. Tasty and a great alternative!

I want to try this pizza recipe using FlatOut flatbread:

Red Roasted Pepper Hummus Crostini

Ingredients
8 oz tub of Tribe Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
3–4 roasted red peppers, thinly sliced (one for each slice of bread)
1 baguette or artisan-style bread such as ciabatta
1-2 cloves of garlic, cut in half
1/4 cup olive oil
Manchego, Parmesean, or other hard cheese (optional, omit for vegan appetizer)

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Slice the baguette (or other bread) 1/2 inch thick; if using a baguette, slice it on the diagonal for larger slices. Lightly brush each side of the sliced bread with olive oil and place on a cookie sheet. Roast the bread for 8-10 minutes until lightly toasted.

While the bread is still hot, lightly rub one side of each slice with the cut sides of the garlic- the heat and friction from the bread causes the garlic to “melt” into the bread. Do not overdo it on the garlic! A little goes a long way.

Using a vegetable peeler, shave your choice of cheese into large, thin slices. There should be one shave of cheese for each slice of bread. Set aside.

Top each slice of bread with a thick layer of hummus, one shave of cheese, and a slice of roasted red pepper. Enjoy!

Yogurt Cucumber and Mint Dip

By on 8-04-2010 in frugal, quick & easy

Farmers market was yummy as usual. There’s a vendor who sells delicious heritage tomatoes … so sweet, they taste like candy! The booth nearby was giving out samples of dip. Eggplant, cucumber and cilantro. Oh so good, had to look up a recipe. I’ve made hummus and cucumber dip before, so I knew I’d love it. Sometimes it is just those few subtle ingredients that give it a whole new life. Drool. Next I need to bake some naan.

Yogurt, Cucumber and Mint Dip

1 cup plain yogurt

2 Persian cucumbers, roughly chopped

½ tsp. Kosher salt

½ tsp. dried mind or 2 tsp. fresh mint

Pinch of dried, ground garlic

Mix all of the ingredients in a medium bowl and stir thoroughly.   Serve with pita chips, sambosas or bolani.

OMG this looks scrumptious, Layered Afghan Eggplant... and the Spicy Chutney.

Quick Egg, Ham and Cheese Breakfast Cups

By on 8-04-2010 in frugal, quick & easy

    Can you believe back to school is in a few weeks for some?

    I am already digging through breakfast recipes and thinking about meals for on the go. I have made these a few times for the DH and kids.

    They are quick to make but best of all, perfect for car travel and on the way to school (especially, when they are running late, I pack a few up in tupperware with napkins and a juice drink).

    I pulled this recipe/image from the Spark People site:

    Quick Egg, Ham and Cheese Breakfast Cups*

      7 large eggs
      1/4 cup milk
      3/4 cup shredded 2% cheddar cheese
      1 cup diced red onion
      12 slices shaved brown sugar ham lunchmeat (like Oscar Mayer)
      1 TBSP Olive Oil
      1/8 tsp Garlic powder
      1/2 tsp Tabasco
      1 tsp salt
      1/2 tsp pepper
      1 tsp dried parsley

    Directions

    Makes 12 muffins.

    Saute diced onions in Olive Oil until clear, add diced ham to the pan and cook until slightly brown and then set aside to cool.

    Set oven to 350 Degrees.

    Combine eggs, milk, Tabasco, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl. Add shredded cheese and stir together.

    Slowly add the cooled ham mixture to the egg mixture and then spoon into a 12 cup muffin tin. I’ve used silicone and throw away tin pans, the tin ones needed a spray of non-stick cooking spray (like Pam) the silicone ones didn’t need anything.

    Place in oven on center rack and cook for about 15 minutes. When done the eggs should bejust barely done on top and slightly dry. They will cook more from the carryover heat when you take them out of the oven. DO NOT OVERCOOK.

    Number of Servings: 12

    *I substitute the brown sugar ham and I don’t use Tabasco (although I think dh would love that).
