The Minter Kitchen | Brunch Frittata
A friend of mine made this for me, and I loved it. I kept looking for the crust because it was so filling, but it’s all eggs, cheese, and vegetables. So if you’re looking for healthy—even gluten free—this is a really tasty dish. And perfect for spring! A great, quick main dish for Easter brunch after a sunrise service. Sundried Tomato, Arugula & Goat Cheese … [Read more...]
The Minter Kitchen | Winter White Bean Turkey Chili
When I wrote my first Bible study, No Other Gods, I invited a group of friends to my house to work through the material. They were doing me a huge favor—their insights and stories were invaluable. The only reasonable way I could repay them was of course through food. (I burned a few rounds of pine nuts that year. Lesson: if you’re going to burn a nut, burn a cheaper one.) I … [Read more...]

The Minter Kitchen (+ a Giveaway!)
Update: Congratulations to our winners for this giveaway: Chris, Jackie, DeAnn, Vera, and Pam! Let’s face it, most of our best recipes come from our moms—or at least our most feel-good ones.

The Minter Kitchen: Lettuce Wraps
When I wrote my first Bible study, I invited an few friends over once a week to dive into the Word together and cook dinner. We discovered that cooking together, sharing recipes, and lingering around one another's tables set the tone for the deeper things God wanted to do in our lives. Recently my Mom mentioned that she had cooked a delicious and healthy recipe, and because I … [Read more...]
The Minter Kitchen – Fresh Tomato Pasta
I’m tempted to say that this is one of my all-time favorite recipes but I tend to overuse that phrase. One reason I love this recipe is because it’s so simple while not lacking in flavor or presentation. This is a gorgeous dish, especially if you use different colors of tomatoes. Tossed alongside the rich green basil, black olives with hunks of white feta and you have yourself … [Read more...]
The Minter Kitchen: Dressed Up Black Beans & Rice
This simple recipe is one of my favorites. I should note that I travel to the Amazon jungle twice a year where beans and rice are staples. By Day 3 I’m usually scrounging for Kind Bars and peanut butter (which the Brazilians think is the most disgusting concept on earth), but after being home a few days I’m ready for beans and rice again. However, I like to dress this … [Read more...]
The Minter Kitchen: Kale, Sausage and Cannellini Bean Soup
Kale has somehow rocketed to celebrity status in the vegetable community. Perhaps it’s because of all the nutritional benefits it boasts, or it’s versatility in salads, soups, and even kale chips (by roasting the leaves in the oven). At any rate, I love making soups that utilize kale, especially this recipe that marries the texture of kale with the flavorful seasonings of … [Read more...]
The Minter Kitchen: Black Bean & Chicken Chili
One of my favorite things to do while home on a weekend is to cook something warm during the chill of fall. If you're like me, you enjoy the taste of comfort food, but maybe don't want all the repercussions that sometimes come along with food that brings us all that "comfort": sugar, fat, sodium, preservatives, etc. So I love it when I come across a recipe that is comforting, … [Read more...]
