Green Curry Coconut Soup with Shrimp & Vegetables

November 17, 2023

Green Curry Coconut Soup is a delicious way to enjoy the flavors of Thai cuisine at home. This soup is creamy, spicy, and comforting, with coconut milk, curry paste, shrimp, and vegetables. You can customize it to your taste by adding more or less spice, the protein of your choice, or using different kinds of vegetables. I love mine with rice, but noodles are a great addition as well. … More Green Curry Coconut Soup with Shrimp & Vegetables

TUSCAN BIRTHDAY CHICKEN

August 6, 2023

The past few months I have been trying to branch out and experiment with new recipes. It is easy to get stuck in the same meal rotation. We always make time to eat a family meal on Sundays, so it’s a great time for me to try new dishes. The sauce for this meal comes together so quickly and it would be great with different proteins. I think it would be delicious with shrimp, steak, and a wide variety of vegetables. … More TUSCAN BIRTHDAY CHICKEN

SMOTHERED HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN

August 5, 2023

For the past 8 years, since we raise meat birds, I have not had to purchase chicken from the supermarket. With an abundance of chicken in our freezer, I am always looking for new ways to prepare it.  This recipe is inspired by a dish that I had at an Outback Steakhouse. It involves marinating the chicken in a homemade honey mustard sauce. The result was a hit in our household and will definitely be part of our meal rotation. … More SMOTHERED HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN

CABBAGE SOUP: NUTRIENT &  FLAVOR DENSE –  BUT EASY ON THE WAISTLINE

February 5, 2023

This recipe is an old favorite that my mom and I enjoyed making when I was in high school and college (especially when we were being extra mindful of our weight). I am going to share a basic recipe and you may decide to bulk it up with pasta or beans and flavor it with your favorite spices. You can also add other vegetables (I have added zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, spinach, kale or whatever I had on hand). However, to be honest, my favorite is the classic recipe that I grew up eating.  … More CABBAGE SOUP: NUTRIENT &  FLAVOR DENSE –  BUT EASY ON THE WAISTLINE

Tangerine & Greens with Maple Viniagrette Mason Jar Salads

January 2, 2023

When I first discovered the efficiency, versatility, and freshness of Mason jar salads it was life-changing. They are easy to make, keep for up to a week in the refrigerator, and are visually appealing (I think they look like lovely edible terrarium gardens).
Salads packed in a jar are a great way to encourage yourself, and your family, to eat more fruit and vegetables and reduce waste. … More Tangerine & Greens with Maple Viniagrette Mason Jar Salads

10 YEAR BLOGAVERSARY

January 2, 2023

It dawned on me this afternoon that yesterday was “Produce with Amy’s” 10 YEAR BLOGAVERSARY!

While I may not have realized fame and fortune in 10 years like some bloggers do, I feel rather accomplished. I set a goal to share my love of cooking, nutrition, growing flowers and vegetables, writing, photography – and the hopes that it would encourage myself, and others, to be more productive and healthy. I can proudly say that I have stuck with this goal! … More 10 YEAR BLOGAVERSARY

WHITE CHICKEN CHILI

December 26, 2022

Yes, I am sharing another soup recipe. For those that are not huge fans of soup, my husband heartily agrees with you. He does not hate soup, but he cannot eat it every-day-for-a-week like I can.  However, my step son Lukas and I think that is okay if John does not want soup – it … More WHITE CHICKEN CHILI
