Smoky Pasta with Peas and Greens

Smoky Pasta with Peas & Greens – Simple Vegetarian Pasta Dish with Smoked Paprika and Spices

from Tori Avey.com
This quick and simple vegetarian pasta dish has become a favorite in my house. I absolutely love cooking with smoked paprika, as you may have learned by now, and I figured – why not add it to pasta too? The smoky effect is somewhat like a vegetarian version of Pasta Carbonara. Add some onion, peas and a handful of greens and you’ve got yourself a tasty, colorful meal in no time at all. I think the peppery flavor of arugula works really well here, but spinach is also a nice twist. I’m always trying to work extra greens into my meals, and here they blend in nicely.

Quick Spinach Egg Drop Soup

From EveryDayMaven.com

A comforting, healthy Vegetarian bowl of soup you can have ready in minutes!

Asian food is my comfort food. I grew up in a pretty urban part of a major city that had a bustling Chinatown and luckily spent many a meal exploring different cuisines and dishes there. Ask anyone who knows me, if you give me the choice to pick a restaurant out, it’s most likely going to be Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Mongolian, Korean or Japanese.

And I’ll almost always start the meal with a steaming bowl of soup.

While I’ve shared many, many Asian food recipes on here with you, I realized a couple of weeks ago, chin deep into my 17304398’th bowl of this Spinach Egg Drop soup that I’ve never shared this super easy, 5 minute soup recipe with you. This is healthy comfort food at its finest.

Schnitzel Strips with Green Tahini Dip Recipe

By Danielle Oron in The Nosher for MyJewishLearning.com

Sports! I’m not really into them but I absolutely love the Superbowl. It’s a time for snacks, chips, dips, beer, and 12-foot subs. I’m usually the one hosting because I love creating a huge spread of finger foods. I set up a buffet in the kitchen and everyone grabs a plate, fills it up and goes to sit in the living room to watch the game. I find that it’s so much easier to have finger foods for events like this so no one struggles to eat while sitting on the coach. No need for forks and knives!

Homemade Kosher Ramen Soup Recipe

By Shannon Sarna in The Nosher for MyJewishLearning.com    

A little over a year ago, I dragged my then 2-year-old daughter on a food adventure while in Los Angeles visiting my family.

“We are going to have noodle soup,” I told her. She just nodded and asked if we could get ice cream after.

I wasn’t sure how she would respond to ramen, but I was determined to check out a spot called Ramen Jinya in Studio City at the recommendation of another “foodie” friend, and figured kids like chicken soup, so how bad could it be?

Bacon Goes Kosher

By Erik Ofgang for Tablet Magazine   

OK, it’s not technically bacon. It’s made from beef, or lamb, or turkey—or it could be vegetarian. But whatever’s in kosher imitation bacon, sales are sizzling.

Bacon—the unofficial poster child of non-kosher food—is hard to avoid these days. There are now bacon festivals around the country, and the flagship of forbidden food is found almost everywhere, from chocolates and ice cream to popcorn and high-end dishes, not to mention its traditional uses in classic fare like the BLT, club sandwich, and bacon burger. A few years ago, Top Chef winner Ilan Hall made headlines with his bacon-wrapped matzo balls.

The kosher world has not turned a blind eye to this craze. As bacon has boomed, kosher imitation bacon has increased in variety, quality, and religious acceptance.
