Mozzarella Bruschetta


From cookbook called Organically Raised: Conscious Cooking for Babies and Toddlers by Anni Daulter. It's filled with healthy and delicious recipes that are healthy, flavorful, and delicious for babies, toddlers, and adults. I loved the combination of crunchy bread, tart balsamic vinegar, garlicky tomatoes, and oozing cheese. Thanks for the beautiful cookbook Anni!

Zucchini Coins with Marinara and Parmesan


This is new favorite side dish or appetizer. I created these with some of the leftover marinara, panko crumbs, and Parmesan you'll used for the Chicken Parmesan making for dinner. The zucchini coins were simple and quick to make and tasted wonderful! I loved the flavors and textures of this dish with the soft zucchini and marinara sauce, the salty cheese, and the crispy panko.

Panko Crusted Green Beans with a Soy Garlic Aioli


The restaurant fried their green beans and served them with a flavorful aioli sauce that was fantastic. I decided to recreate a much healthier version at home by baking green beans. They turned out wonderful! They were crisp and crunchy on the outside without being greasy and the green beans were perfectly tender on the inside. I served them with a simple soy garlic aioli sauce made from mayonnaise, garlic, and soy sauce. This dish is best served fresh from the oven.
