Cookin' with Fresh Produce

After buying fresh produce at the feira last weekend, I was inspired to cook two new *healthy* casserole recipes loaded with veggies.

First, I baked a Squash, Tomato and Red Pepper Casserole with Quinoa. It was interesting trying to chop the acorn squash in my lil' kitchen! I followed the recipe exactly, except I did not buy the fresh herbs and I used sliced french bread instead of crumbles. I found the recipe here:

Here are the photos from my tiny Brazilian kitchen:

 I made a side dish of broccolli with parmesan cheese, red-pepper flakes, salt and pepper.

The red-pepper flakes added a kick!

I found this Loaded Cauliflower Chicken Casserole recipe on Pinterest.

I changed the recipe a bit by adding broccoli and using swiss cheese (because you can't find cheddar in Sao Paulo-- definitely not shredded). I did not use bacon and I added parmesan crumbles on top. 

Delish!
