cream of wild mushroom soup

February 3, 2018 foodwithaview Leave a Comment

Cream of Wild Mushroom Soup | Keto-Friendly, Gluten-Free, Low-Carb | Recipe on foodwithaview.com

It is definitely winter in the northeast, and I know a lot of people are not too thrilled. I personally kind of like the cold, and in particular, I love soup season. Soup is perfect for make-ahead dinners and healthy lunches, a major necessity this time of year in my house. In light of my 2018 food goals, I tried my hand at converting one of my favorite Barefoot Contessa recipes soups into a ketogenic-friendly Cream of Wild Mushroom Soup. It is packed with rich mushroom flavor, deeply rich and creamy, and has all the gluten and most of the carbohydrates eliminated. … [Read more...]

meal planning 101

Meal planning 101 | A beginners guide to meal planning | Free printable simple meal planning template | photo by brooke lark | foodwithaview.com

January. For many of us, it is the season of renewal. A time to start fresh on something that did not go as well as we wanted it to last year. I am right there with you. I wrote earlier this month on my food goals for 2018, and one of them included sticking with a change in eating habits I started last year. I am personally choosing to follow a ketogenic diet (more on that here), but it doesn’t matter what you want to change. No matter the flavor, changing how you eat is hard. … [Read more...]

the best of the Barefoot Contessa [or, how I learned to cook]

Mustard roasted fish for a simple weeknight meal or lunch | The best of Barefoot Contessa tips lessons and recipes | cooking and entertaining with foodwithaview.com

I am a self-taught cook. Sure, I learned a few things along the way in my mother’s kitchen, but as a trailblazing working mom, she was more about practical survival and less about Julia Child. My favorite aunt added a bit of French-inspired flair to the mix, and I picked up a few tricks every holiday season when all the women gathered to cook. But admittedly, I wasn’t really paying close attention. When I set out to learn to properly cook, I was essentially starting from scratch. … [Read more...]

Roasted vegetable and goat cheese pasta salad

September 30, 2017 foodwithaview 2 Comments

Roasted vegetable and goat cheese pasta salad recipe | ready to serve in bowl on counter | recipe by foodwithaview.com

This is my go-to recipe for fall entertaining, so it was time to share it with all of you. I am pretty sure I first found this recipe 15 years ago on the side of a Gladware storage container. My attempts to find the original source were futile, so here's the version I keep in my Evernote recipe file. Not claiming full originality here, but hey, it's pasta salad.   … [Read more...]

Already chopped asparagus and arugula for salad with lemon and mint | Terras Kitchen Review | foodwithaview.com

I write a lot here about the trials and tribulations of cooking for family.  I have a love-hate relationship with weekday dinner.  On one hand, I am relaxed by the simple act of preparing a meal for myself and those I love.  I am rejuvenated after even just a few minutes of happy chatter from my children and a glance of contentment from Gary.  On the other hand, it is stressful.  The advanced planning is hard enough; after a long day, a commute, and probably arguing with those children about not ordering pizza for the third time this week, cracking a cookbook and tackling a recipe is the last thing on my mind. … [Read more...]

Lemon-Thyme Roasted Chicken and Asparagus

August 12, 2017 foodwithaview 4 Comments

Lemon-Thyme Roasted Chicken and Asparagus | close up crispy skin platter of lemon thyme roasted chicken | recipe on foodwithaview.com

I am always on the hunt for simple, healthy weeknight dinners. The perfect ones require little to no preparation prior to the moment I arrive home, use ingredients I regularly have on hand, and don’t require major mental energy to work through. If I am shooting for the stars, they are something the entire family will enjoy, at least in part. They usually involve chicken. … [Read more...]
