Ingredient Spotlight: 5+ Recipes for Peanut Butter and Jelly Lovers

May 1, 2013 by Tiffany King 3 Comments

Of all the food combinations in the world, peanut butter and jelly is my favorite. If you share the PB&J love, then you’re going to love today’s post.

Before we get to the recipes (and you link up your recipes!), I wanted to let you know where things stand with Ingredient Spotlight. I’ve been hosing this weekly link up for several years now. I have loved it! I find new recipes to try and new blogs to follow. I’ve met new blog friends too. Ingredient Spotlight has even influenced and inspired my Pinterest boards.

The last few months, I’ve been sharing the hosting of this weekly party with SnoWhite from Finding Joy in My Kitchen. Starting next week, she is going to take the reins of Ingredient Spotlight and run with it. I hope you’ll visit her and participate over there. She has lots of ideas for different ingredients that we’ve never done here on Eat at Home.

Now for the PB&J recipes. I was actually surprised that I only have 5 of these. [Read more…] about Ingredient Spotlight: 5+ Recipes for Peanut Butter and Jelly Lovers

Ingredient Spotlight: Quinoa

April 17, 2013 by Tiffany King 9 Comments

That picture above is the only quinoa recipe I have on my blog.

I have to admit that I haven’t fallen in love with quinoa the way the rest of the internet seems to. I need to do a little more experimenting and trying recipes for it, I suppose. But there’s something a little strange about the way quinoa looks. The little round pieces remind me of eyes. And then there are the stray “lash” shaped things.

I know. That wasn’t the kind of description a good food blogger should write. But that’s how I feel about quinoa. I also know that it’s a very healthy grain that’s good for me. So, I try to get past the texture thing and learn to really like it. On a scale of hate to love, I’m at tolerate. Progress.

So, because I’m no quinoa expert, I’ve rounded up some recipes from a few other bloggers. And at the bottom of this post is a place for you to add your quinoa recipes.

Lynn is the queen of quinoa knowledge and recipes. She’s got lots of recipes for quinoa, including this one with facts about the grain and 5 recipes (chocolate things too!).

Also check out Lynn’s Quinoa Fried Rice and Quinoa Brownies.

Once a Month Mom has a recipe for Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Bites. And yes, that is a freezer recipe.

Now it’s your turn. Link up as many recipes using quinoa as you like. Just be sure to include a link back to Eat at Home.

Ingredient Spotlight: Eggs 2013

April 3, 2013 by Tiffany King 4 Comments

Do you have a lot of eggs left from Easter? I somehow have about 2 dozen eggs in the fridge. It doesn’t relate to Easter for me though. I’m not sure how I ended up with so many.

But it does mean we get to have breakfast for dinner soon.

I’ve got a lot of recipes that use eggs on the site, but I want to highlight two for this post.

Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole is an easy way to fix breakfast or brunch.

Kentucky Hot Brown Bake doesn’t seem like it would require eggs at all. But it uses 4 of them.

I can’t wait to see your favorite way to use eggs. Link up as many recipes for eggs as you like, just be sure to include a link back to Eat at Home.

Ingredient Spotlight: Coffee 2013

March 20, 2013 by Tiffany King 5 Comments

We love coffee at our house. Four of us drink coffee every morning (some more often than that). My youngest daughter also loves coffee, but she doesn’t get it every day. My oldest son is still a hold out. Even though he doesn’t like drinking coffee, he will eat coffee flavored desserts.

Jim has even roasted his own coffee. It’s been a while since he’s had any green beans to roast.

Here are a few of my recipes that use coffee: [Read more…] about Ingredient Spotlight: Coffee 2013

Ingredient Spotlight: Tortillas 2013

March 6, 2013 by Tiffany King 18 Comments

Tortillas are a pantry staple for good reason. They’re inexpensive and versatile.

I’ve got lots of recipes on this site that use tortillas. Here are a few from the past year:

Easy Crockpot Beef Fajitas – Your house will smell amazing while these cook.

Crockpot Chicken Fajitas – This is one of the most popular recipes on my site.

Italian Sausage Enchiladas – On this post, you’ll find the recipe for these, but also ideas for changing the recipe to use what you have in your pantry.

Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas start with boneless pork chops. These are a new family favorite.

I can’t wait to see your recipes that use tortillas. Link up as many as you like, but include a link back to Eat at Home.
