Chicken de Ville: August 2013
http://chickendeville.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 7, 2013. I am a big fan of pesto, but do not like to stick to the only kind of pesto most people know, basil pesto. Being a huge fan of kale as well, I had of course, to make other kind of pesto. Here are a couple of pesto I like to make to enjoy on pasta, pizza, sandwiches or anything else I can think of. A couple leaves of kale (I prefer the Siberian kale, but any type would do). 2 to 3 cloves of garlic. A handful of walnuts (or pine nuts, or pistachios). 2 to 3 cloves of garlic.

Tuesday, March 27, 2012. Chicks, Chicks, Chicks.Hooray! And here we go again. Peep! If I were a hen, you could say I have been "broody" lately. I finally got 4 new little chicks.

Tuesday, September 24, 2013. Black bean and quinoa burgers served with homemade buns.

I came across a recipe for black bean-quinoa burgers. On http:/ www.vegetariantimes.com/recipe/black-bean-quinoa-burgers/. Which I slightly modified as follows:. 1/2 cup of uncooked quinoa. 1 small onion, finely chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 cup of water.

Chicken de Ville: Juicing!
http://chickendeville.blogspot.com/2012/12/juicing.html
Monday, December 31, 2012. The first time I was presented a green smoothie, I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical on how good it was. I even waited for my husband to try it before taking the plunge! To my surprise, it was delicious. After all how can a bunch of fruit and vegetable mixed together be bad? We decided that juices would be a good addition to our diet, not a way to replace eating vegetable/fruit but more so in a way to add more nutrients and vitamins to our diet. I prefer an actual juice.

Thursday, January 24, 2013. Although making yogurt might be intimidating for some, it is surprisingly easy. After all, all you need is milk and plain yogurt! I have been making yogurt at home for a couple of years now. My quest to avoid any of the unnecessary added ingredients brought me to making yogurt.
