Whole wheat manicotti.

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

When I went to Cugino’s to get the cheese for my pizza the other day I also picked up some ricotta. This is not the stuff you get in the store, oh no, its definitely something else. Its creamy not runny and watery and it’s flat out amazing. Again, you wont find this in the store. Look at your local Italian deli for the good stuff (Polly-O). Any who, this dish is to die for and it’s basically all about the cheese although the noodles and sauce are great too. I added the whole can of tomato paste and got a nice thick sauce but that was purely by accident and I think trying it with the half can first would be best (original recipe). You can always add more right? This is a solid meal and got six thumbs up.

White bean burrito with homemade whole wheat tortilla

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

I was making a white bean dip the other day and had no pita bread so as usual I used what I had which was tortillas that I heated on skillet to make them more like chips. The second I tasted the white bean dip with the tortilla combo I was like, oh yeah, a white bean burrito, Duh! So I switched up the dip recipe to replace the basil with cilantro and added cumin for a more Mexican flavor. I had also been wanting to make my own tortillas for several weeks now so my chance was finally here. Knowing a basic bean burrito would not be delicious enough for J I added fresh pico de gallo and a creamy chipotle sauce. I forgot how much I love, love, love, chipotle flavor. It’s one of my favorites for sure. It’s been a long time since I tasted my old friend and I promise I will not leave you again chipotle. Well, J L-O-V-E-D these. Next time I will be going for a fish taco found at Tiny Urban Kitchen which is also where the pico de gallo and creamy chipotle sauce recipes were found. These burritos are not only great tasting but made completely from scratch and healthy whole foods!
