Dinner is served! Falafel Scotch Eggs with Radicchio

Here in Houston, TX it's been a lovely What's for Dinner? Wednesday!  This week's meal, Falafel Scotch Eggs with Radicchio, was inspired by a recipe I found while visiting my sister down under and it was delectable!  

I hadn't heard of scotch eggs until finding the recipe that inspired this meal in MiNDFOOD magazine. If you read the magazine or have eaten this dish before you know that a true Scotch egg is fried.  The version I shared HERE>> cut out that step and still resulted in nicely browned and tasty eggs.  Instead of using meat as the egg's coating, this version uses a homemade falafel mix so the entire dish is vegetarian friendly!

If you haven't tried this dish, I highly recommend it. Plus, it's a great way to hide your eggs from the Easter bunny when he comes hopping through next month!

Dinner is served! Swiss Chard and Spinach Tart

Dinner is served! This little slice of goodness is a piece of Swiss Chard and Spinach Tart.  At the Fit Armadillo household it was served over a bed of salad for even more nutritious goodness.

By combining the Swiss chard and spinach with ricotta and feta cheeses and eggs, the veggies are slightly masked making it easy to trick a picky eater into enjoying loads of healthy vitamins and nutrients.  If you haven't tried Swiss chard yet, this recipe is a great way to do a trial run of the healthy green (and red and orange if you count the colorful stalks).

What's for dinner? Wednesday

It's Wed-nes-day (that's how we remember how to spell it) again!  That means it's "What's for dinner? Wednesday."  Today we have something for our vegetarian friends:  Cauliflower Pizza Crust.  We'll give you the recipe for the crust, you can pick your toppings.  Here are the details:

Ingredients (for one personal sized pizza):

1 cup cauliflower
1 large egg
1 cup cheese (parmesean/cheddar/mozzarella-your choice)
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp dried parsley
+ Your favorite toppings  

How to make your crust: 

Step One:  Put your cauliflower in your food processor and process it until it looks like snow (you know, that fluffy stuff that us Houstonians rarely see).  While admiring the result and wondering if you'd rather make a snow angel or snowman on your kitchen floor, preheat your oven to 450 degrees (don't worry, this "snow" won't melt).  If you have extra cauliflower and kids or "kids" that bug you while you cook, challenge them to make a cauliflower sculpture (check out some of the crazy ones on Pinterest if you don't have a clue what we mean). 

Step Two: Beat the egg in a bowl and add the cauliflower snowflakes and your shredded cheese. Mix these ingredients up and form them into a "dough."

Step Three: Spread your "dough" out onto a pizza pan sprayed with cooking spray and sprinkle it with your spices. Bake at 450 for 12 to 15 minutes.

Step Four: Add your favorite pizza toppings and pop your pizza back into the oven until the cheese has bubbled slightly (or it browns on the edges).

Step Five: Enjoy and tell your kids or "kids" to stop playing with their food (if they took on the challenge from Step 1).
