delicious seasonal eats
Oh, man. I am really on a pizza kick lately. This Greek-Style Veggie Pizza is one that I really enjoyed making and eating. It’s so full of flavor it will knock you over! Basically it’s a Greek salad on top of a pizza crust. Can that ever be a bad thing? I think not. Let’s […]
We love Ratatouille in any shape or form. Lately it’s been in pizza form. And as with the original, it’s delicious! This is the third time I’ve made it and it never seems to get old. Ratatouille Pizza is just a fancy way of saying vegetable pizza, I suppose. I leave off the tomato sauce […]
I want to marry this Coconut Lentil Soup with Lemongrass and Ginger. Sigh. It’s so incredible. I remember the first time I had Tom Kha Gai, or Thai Coconut Chicken Soup. I could not get enough of it. The combination of flavors was utter perfection. I was making it at home several times a week […]
This week has been a doozy. Nothing simple about it. Just a bunch of complicated things I wish I didn’t have to think about. Do you ever have weeks like that? Suffice it to say, I was in the mood for a simple dinner tonight to help me relax before it all starts up again […]
On Tuesday morning I was feeling particularly stressed out about all of the things I needed to accomplish this week. It’s been such a long week. I’m still behind on some freelance projects I’ve got going on. In the midst of all of this work stuff, I managed to completely forgot it was my son’s […]
Let’s talk about wilted salads. Do you like them or hate them? Does it depend on the leafy green you use? I love wilted salads–just barely cooking the greens with a quick stint in a hot pan or with a warm vinaigrette, or in this case, both. I made my foray into cooking with leafy […]
The spinach I’ve been getting in my CSA is gorgeous. It’s easy to find ways to eat up my leafy greens each week. One of my new favorite ways uses up a whole pound of fresh spinach in one go–Malfatti with Simple Tomato Sauce. Malfatti means “poorly made” in Italian. Or something like that. They […]
Have you seen lasagna made with ravioli? I know it’s been around for a long time, but I only recently saw it and thought it was brilliant. As you know, I’ve been participating in a recipe challenge using Rosemary and Roasted Garlic Kraft Fresh Takes. I thought the Fresh Takes and frozen ravioli would the […]
Happy Pi Day! Celebrate with this tasty Herbed Goat Cheese Tart! I think this is the first year I have actually made a pie (tart) for 3.14. I was reminded last night when I popped into the grocery store for a few things for dinner and saw a stack of pies by the automatic doors. […]
Before we indulged in our decadent dessert on Sunday night, we enjoyed a very healthy vegan white bean stew that I made in my slow cooker. Slow cooking is such a great way for me to save time (and money) and still make healthy meals for my family. I’m a big fan of making a […]
