We are officially halfway through Holy Week (!!), which means that we only have 4 more vegan dinners left for Vegetarianism 4.0. (seriously, guys, why is this year flying?!) As much as I love our old supper standbys, I wanted something different to mark these last few days of my Lenten journey. When I need…
White Bean and Mushroom “Meatballs”
When I stumbled upon this recipe on Pinterest, I knew I had to make it. (anyone else as obsessed with Pinterest as I am?) It was a recipe for meatballs made with white beans and mushrooms and I knew that I wanted to try it out – we wanted to start trying new/different meals for…
Greek Leek Pie (Prasopita)
Leeks are my new jam. Like, let’s put them in anything and everything. I think my obsession with leeks started when I found the world’s largest leeks at the farmer’s market in the fall. The leeks were about 2 feet long and weighed about 2 pounds each. And I was able to buy a bundle…
Roasted Cabbage
Happy St. Patrick’s Day Eve! When people think of St. Patrick’s Day, three things come to mind – fun, family, and food! And nothing is more fun than getting together with your family and celebrating with lots and lots of amazing food. Like Corned Beef and Cabbage. Because traditions! Yet, having said that, sometimes you need…
Rustic Leftover Leek and Potato Quiche
Let’s talk about leftovers. Leftovers are very… interesting. People either love them, hate them, or love the challenge of transforming them into something else. I love nothing more than trying to take leftovers and create them into a whole different dish. But while dinner leftovers are one thing, what about those random leftover INGREDIENTS hanging out in…
MOW Eggplant Parmesan
Happy Saturday, everyone! We are now five days into Hunger Action Month and it has really made me think about all the different ways we can reach out and fight hunger in our communities. Food pantries are one way that communities can support our neighbors in need, but it’s another food outreach program that has…
When E Comes Home (Pepper and Onion Sauté)
Happy Monday, everyone! How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun/exciting? E came home this weekend, which meant that it was two days full of fun times and good eats!
Edamame Succotash
One of my favorite things to do when cooking is taking a traditional dish and changing it up a little bit, which is what I did for dinner last night when I needed to come up with a hearty side for my leftover piece of grilled salmon. I had a sad-looking bell pepper, a tomato…
Caprese Pizza
One of my fondest food memories as a child is homemade-pizza-for-dinner night. My dad would whip up homemade pizza dough, slather it with sauce and cheese, and bake it until the house smelled like a pizzeria. In my opinion, homemade pizza is a million times better than pizza from a pizzeria… you can control what…
Pesto Pasta Salad with Spinach
Another summer day, another summer pasta salad… with pesto. Yes, I know that this is another variation on pasta tossed with pesto on this website, but trust me – this is totally different! Promise. What I like about this pasta salad is that it has wilted spinach in it. Pesto and spinach are a great…
