Pesto is my jam. I love it on pasta (see recipes number one, two, three). I love it on sandwiches. I love it in salads. I love it on a spoon… *no shame* As you can see, I am pretty obsessed with pesto sauce. Besides it’s delicious flavor, I love that pesto is SO EASY…
Thai Quinoa Salad
This one’s an oldie, but a goodie! I came up with Thai Quinoa Salad during the spring semester of graduate school because I wanted to start challenging myself by using ingredients that I wasn’t too familiar with. Quinoa was really starting to rise in its popularity, so I knew I wanted to try it out….
Tex-Mex Bowls with Lime Cauliflower Rice
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…
Unstuffed Stuffed Cabbage
Happy Friday, kiddos! It may be March but it is still blustery outside! On days like this, I love nothing more than curling up with a warm, comfort food-filled dinner at the end of a long day of commuting, working, and commuting. And nothing is more comforting than my dad’s absolute favorite childhood classic… Stuffed…
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…
Broccoli Rabe and Sausage Pasta
Happy Monday, kiddos! Today, I am super excited because I am sharing my absolutely favorite weeknight dinner that I created FIVE YEARS ago… pre-food blog, pre-decent cooking skills, pre-camera, pre-everything. Broccoli Rabe and Sausage Pasta was my first recipe creation when I was a senior in college, trying to expand my cooking skills beyond baked chicken…
Turkey Meatballs
Of all the meals my mom makes, these turkey meatballs are probably the #1 most-requested dinner in our house. They are delicious, super easy to pull together, and freeze like a dream. They are SO freezer-friendly that my mom will make a huge batch and freeze half of it to bring to E’s place so…
Stuffed Acorn Squash
I love acorn squash. Absolutely love it. When it starts to appear in the grocery store in late September, I become obsessed. All I want to do is buy it all, cook it, and dig in. And repeat. While I love simple baked acorn squash, my friend DK actually gave me a recipe for STUFFED acorn…
