Baked Italian Potato Wedges

I think that when people think about potato wedges, they automatically assumed that they have to be fried in order to get the crisp coating. Here in my county, there is something called Holly Taters. These are fried potato wedges with a seasoned bread coating on the outside; these are staples at church gatherings! While I appreciate the heritage of the recipe, I find that the coating gets a little soggy and, if not eaten immediately, the potatoes taste greasy. This recipe is an adaptation from my standard oven baked wedges with an Italian twist. Your family will like these so much that you will want to make them all the time!



Ingredients:
3 Large Baking Potatoes
4 Tablespoons Margarine
1 teaspoon Finely Minced Garlic
1/3 Cup All-Purpose Flour
1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

1. Peel the potatoes. Using a large knife, cut in half lengthwise and then each half into 4 wedges. Place the wedges in a large bowl of cold water.
2. Melt the margarine and then place the garlic in the margarine. Set aside.
3. In a large, resealable bag, combine the flour, parmesan, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
4. Remove the wedges from the water and shake off the excess water. Place in the bag and seal the top. Shake vigorously to combine.
5. Line the wedges in a single layer on a large baking dish that has been thoroughly coated with non-stick cooking spray. Spoon the garlic and margarine over the wedges.
6. Place in a 375 degree oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, carefully flipping once after 30 minutes.

Lentil Burgers

Last night I cooked a large pot of lentils as part of our family dinner, which means that today, I was left wondering what I could do with all these lentils for the coming week. My typical use for lentils is in chili or soups, however, that is not something that I really wanted on this bright, spring day. Instead, I thought about how I could morph the leftovers into something new that I could use throughout the week, and that is when I thought of revamping my normal veggie burger recipe. Now, as promised, since this is the Quarantine Cooking Series, please feel free to use whatever beans or greens you have in your house. While I love the way this recipe turned out, it is more important that you use what you have and the technique to create a delicious meal for you and your family. Additionally, I like my veggie burgers on the spicy side. However, this is another place when personal modifications should be made to your palate preferences. 3 Tablespoons canola oil, divided

Black-eyed Pea Croquettes

So it is well known that I make  Black Bean Burgers  all the time. I love the versatility of the recipe and the ability to make a week of lunches in about 15 minutes. Today, I found myself with a bowl of leftover black-eyed peas in the fridge and the desire for something new. This recipe is also great because I always have canned black-eyed peas in the pantry since they are one of my husband's favorite vegetables, which means I can make this recipe anytime. So whether you use leftover homemade, like I did, or canned, this recipe is great. Additionally, these are not coated and fried like traditional croquettes, which makes them an even better option. Enjoy these as a side dish, on a sandwich, or with a side salad for a delicious, healthy, and easy meal. These do not hold or reheat well, so enjoy them while they're hot. 2 Cups Black-eyed Peas, drained and rinsed 3 Scallions, whites and greens thinly sliced 1 Clove Garlic 1 Egg, lightly beaten 3/4 Cup Bread Crumbs,

Banana Zucchini Bread with Raisins and Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

It is that time of year again when I am working to develop new and interesting ways to use up all of the vegetables coming from the garden. Last year, I posted "The Best Zucchini Bread"  recipe; this is still a great recipe but this one is even better! Since entering my last trimester of pregnancy, I am craving cinnamon raisin bread. This recipe was created to help merge the two flavors while also adding in some nutrients from bananas, as I always seems to have 2 or 3 that get left over and become a little too ripe. This bread is so fragrant, moist, and delicious! If I had some walnuts in the freezer, I might even finely chop some and incorporate them into the swirl for even more texture. This bread is perfect for breakfast, afternoon snack, or even dessert. I hope you will give this recipe a try. 2 very ripe Bananas, mashed 1 cup Zucchini, grated 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil 1 Egg, beaten 1 teaspoon Vanilla 3/4 cup Sugar 1 teaspoon Baking Soda 1/2 teaspoon Bakin
