Potato, Kale and Pecorino Frittata
This Potato, Kale and Pecorino Frittata is courtesy of In Sock Monkey Slippers as part of the U.S. Potato Board's Potato Lovers Club. This Potato Frittata is an easy way to freshen up a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Ingredient Checklist
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
10 ounces white potatoes, cubed
Salt and pepper to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups kale, leaves stripped from stems and coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
10 large eggs, beaten
½ cup shredded Pecorino-Romano cheese
Directions
Instructions Checklist
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a 10-inch ovenproof and nonstick skillet. Add the potatoes, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and saute until golden brown and tender, about 10 minutes. Remove potatoes and set aside.
Step 3
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and add the garlic and kale and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute until kale is wilted, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes and mustard; stir to combine. Stir in beaten eggs and cheese. Place the skillet in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes or until the eggs are cooked through and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 4
Once the frittata is finished, run a knife around the edge of the skillet and gently slide the frittata onto a carving board or serving plate. Garnish with additional pecorino cheese if desired. Slice and serve.
Roasted Garlic Lemon Broccoli

Herb-Roasted Tri-Colored Carrots
These roasted rainbow carrots are lightly caramelized around the edges, crisp-tender in the center, and seasoned with rosemary, thyme, and parsley!
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds carrots, trimmed, peeled, and cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces (I used tri-colored carrots but you can use all orange)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 to 3 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
2 to 3 teaspoons fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
2 teaspoons lemon juice, optional
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 450F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Add the carrots to the baking sheet, evenly drizzle with olive oil, and evenly sprinkle with thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and toss with your hands to evenly coat.
Arrange the carrots in a flat layer with space between the pieces if possible and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until carrots are lightly caramelized around the edges and fork-tender. Baking times will vary based on the size of carrots and personal preference for doneness.
Stir and flip halfway through baking to ensure all sides cook evenly.
Evenly sprinkle with parsley, evenly drizzle with optional lemon juice (brightens up the dish), and serve immediately.
Grilled Barlet Pears
INGREDIENTS
5 Bartlett pears

Feta Tomato Pasta
This casserole lends itself to many add-ins
Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time55 mins
Course: Main, Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: baked feta and tomatoes, baking feta cheese, tiktok pasta recipe, viral recipe from tiktok
Ingredients
32 oz cherry or grape tomatoes
8 oz feta cheese
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
2 cloves garlic finely minced
8 oz pasta shape of your choice
1 lb shrimp cleaned and deveined
1 tbs butter
1 tsp oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F/200C.
Place tomatoes in a large baking dish (I used 13x9-inch). Drizzle oil over tomatoes and toss to coat. Place the cheese in the center of the pan. Bake for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook pasta per package directions; reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain and set aside and keep warm.
Melt butter and the teaspoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the shrimp as dry as you can then add to the hot pan. Cook until it turns pink and begins to brown. Set aside and keep warm.
Raise the oven temp to 450F/230C and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until cheese is golden brown on top and tomatoes have burst.
Remove the pan from the oven and add the basil and garlic. Stir until sauce is well mixed. At this point, you may want to add a small amount of the reserved pasta water--maybe about 2 tablespoons if the sauce seems a bit thick.
Add the cooked pasta and the shrimp. Toss so the pasta and shrimp is well coated. At this point you may wish to add some more reserved pasta water so the sauce coats everything better
Cucumber Bruschetta Cups
These deliciously simple cucumber bruschetta cups is a healthy, gluten-free alternative to traditional bruschetta and positively tasty too! We love this easy peasy appetizer for parties and after school snacking!
SERVINGS 25 SERVINGS
AUTHOR JENN LAUGHLIN
Ingredients
2 cups diced roma tomato
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup of finely diced white onion
2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
2 TBSP white balsamic vinegar
5 large basil leaves, shredded plus extra for topping
1-2 tsp fresh chopped parsley
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp dried dill
1-2 english cucumbers
2-4 TBSP crumbled feta (optional)
2 TBSP sweet balsamic glaze plus extra to taste
Instructions
Combine all the above ingredients [minus the feta, balsamic, and cucumber] in a bowl and toss to coat.
Serve up right away or allow the mixture a little bit of time to marinate before serving.
The leftovers are not only delicious, but will keep for up to four days in your fridge, assuming they last that long!
To maximize the bruschetta potential of each cuke, slice them a bit on the thick side and scoop out the middles with a grapefruit spoon or melon baller if you have one! If not, a little handy work with paring knife will help you nix the seeds and make room for more yummy bruschetta topping.
Pile each cucumber cup high with your filling and top with a hearty drizzle of balsamic glaze, crumbled feta, and a sprinkle of fresh basil chiffonade.
Recipe Notes
This recipe makes just over 2 cups of bruschetta topping, enough for around 20-30 cucumber cups.
For 1/2 cup of sweet balsamic glaze, simply combine 1 cup of balsamic vinegar with 1/4 cup of brown or white sugar. Stir to dissolve as you bring the pot to a boil. Once bubbly, reduce to simmer on very low heat and allow the vinegar to reduce into a glaze. This takes at least twenty minutes so if you're pressed for time you can use a store bought glaze or just drizzle straight up with a high quality balsamic!

2 TBS Unsalted Butter divided
1 large Shallot finely diced

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a Dutch oven, or large straight sided skillet, over medium high heat. Add the chicken and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown on all sides, but not cooked through, about 4-6 minutes total. Remove chicken to a plate.

Add back in the chicken along with the pasta and a large sprig of basil. Bring to a slow boil, stirring occasionally, then immediately reduce to a simmer.

Add in the peas, lemon juice and zest. Cook for an additional minute. Stir in the parmesan and chopped basil. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
Garnish with crushed red pepper flakes, more parmesan cheese, and slices of lemon if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Warm Lemon Pudding Cakes
Spoon into these lovely lemon pudding cakes and discover a layer of luscious lemon pudding beneath the cake!
Servings: 6
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 45 Minutes
Total Time: 1 Hour 5 Minutes
INGREDIENTS
3 large eggs, separated
1 cup milk (low-fat or whole)
2 teaspoons lemon zest, from 2 lemons
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, from 2 lemons
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
Fresh berries and Confectioners' sugar, for serving (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle position. Spray six (6-oz) ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, butter, and salt. Add the flour and sugar and whisk until smooth.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. (The peaks should curl when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.) Spoon about 1/4 of the egg whites into the lemon mixture and whisk until smooth. Add the remaining egg whites and, using a rubber spatula, gently fold into the lemon mixture until smooth. The batter will be light, foamy, and liquidy.
Place the prepared ramekins into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Ladle the batter evenly into the ramekins (it will come almost to the top). Using a teapot or pitcher, pour room temperature water into the pan to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Carefully place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the cakes are puffy and lightly golden on top. Using tongs, carefully remove the ramekins from the baking dish and let cool on a rack for about 20 minutes before serving. (They will sink a bit as they cool; that's okay.) Dust with Confectioners' sugar and serve with berries, if desired.
Make Ahead: The cakes can be made a day ahead of time. Once completely cool, cover the cakes with plastic wrap and store at room temperature. Before serving, preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle position. Remove the plastic wrap and place the ramekins on a baking sheet; heat for 10-15 minutes, until warmed through.
