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

VELVETY ROASTED TOMATO & BASIL SOUP

November 5, 2022

Incidentally, the roasting technique that I share with you today, not only makes an unforgettable bowl of tomato soup, but it’s also a great way to can your tomatoes. However, you do not have to use a canner to preserve your garden goodness, you can freeze them. This is a great technique if you do not have a large crop coming in at once. You can put up a small batch every week, or every other week.  … More VELVETY ROASTED TOMATO & BASIL SOUP

JALAPENO POPPER FRITTATA: BREAKFAST WITH A KICK

September 16, 2022

Mid summer I bought jalapenos to make jalapeno poppers to air fry (fresh jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese and cheddar and wrapped in bacon) since my stepson and I love them. One morning I felt inspired to use a couple of the peppers to create a frittata that had the same flavor profile of poppers and the result was outstanding! … More JALAPENO POPPER FRITTATA: BREAKFAST WITH A KICK

CHICKPEA BOWLS WITH CUCUMBER TZATZIKI & LEMON TAHINI DRESSING

August 8, 2022

Recipe “bowls seem to be trending on many of the food bloggers and vloggers that I follow. In theory, it is a salad, but with heartier ingredients. When I add bowls to my meal plan, I tend to prepare the ingredients and keep them separate in the refrigerator. Then they can easily be assembled the night before (for a workday lunch) or custom-made via family members preferences.  … More CHICKPEA BOWLS WITH CUCUMBER TZATZIKI & LEMON TAHINI DRESSING

MEATBALLS WITH SPICY BULGOGI SAUCE, JASMINE RICE, & ROASTED CARROTS

May 17, 2022

The inspiration for this recipe comes from a meal kit that I purchased. Our family often gets into a food rut and meal kits are one way that I have found to help inspire new flavor combinations and choices. The meal kit provided a Bulgogi sauce packet for the meatballs and I enjoyed looking up the Korean origins of Bulgogi. I made my sauce using Gochujang (fermented hot chili paste). You can find it in most multicultural food sections. You could also use chili sauce or your favorite hot sauce. … More MEATBALLS WITH SPICY BULGOGI SAUCE, JASMINE RICE, & ROASTED CARROTS
