Spinach Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms with Avocado
These mushrooms are delicious on their own, or put them on toasted sourdough bread with Dijon mustard for a great veggie sandwich. Use a mixture of chopped fresh Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme, and parsley).
Slow Cooker Pozole
An easy pozole recipe made in the slow cooker. You can add another can of hominy if your slow cooker is large. I prefer hot enchilada sauce with salsa, but the regular kind will do. Traditional Mexican pozole is served with shredded cabbage, lime wedges, avocado, onion, cilantro, and, of course, warm tortillas.
Easy Yogurt Cake
This is an easy yogurt cake that uses the yogurt container to measure all of the ingredients. It's ready in under an hour and the perfect not-too-sweet snack or breakfast treat. It's known in France as "Gâteau au Yaourt" and is typically the first cake that French children learn how to make. My son attends a French school and has made this with his classmates.
