So, this post is actually from last weekend. I started on it and another, but was so busy last weekend that I never had the opportunity to finish them. And I really wanted to share this post because it’s about Steve’s pesto, which was so delicious. So delicious. Last Sunday I got a special treat. […]
Every weekend I make a salad to eat off of throughout the week. I gives me a chance to be creative in the kitchen, use up leftover produce and also gives me something healthy and fulfilling to eat for lunch during the week. The point of this post is not so much the recipe, but […]
Lentils are an incredibly satisfying and nourishing food. They are also extremely versatile. You can add them to soups, use them for a vegan taco filling, make fritters out them and use them to help bind a veggie burger. You can also just make a simple pot of lentils and enjoy them over brown rice […]
Steve decided he was going to make me a special dinner this past Sunday because I did well on a recent test. Not just any test, but a test that is the beginning of the next phase of my life, which includes going back to school. So, it’s a big deal. Anyway, he was being […]
I just love all of the flavors in a Greek salad. The crisp sweetness of the peppers, cucumbers, red onion and tomatoes as well as the tangy, salty olives and creamy feta cheese are a joy for the taste buds. Not to mention the deliciousness of a good garlicky, lemony Greek dressing with fresh oregano.
*Disclaimer: I’m not a baker, I’m a chef. I’ve been playing with baking more and more and have found this recipe successful and so, I’m sharing it. I’ve been working on making my own bread for a few months now. And while I cannot say that I’ve been super successful (at least in my mind), […]
I love falafel. For me, the key to great falafel is the texture and the herbs and seasoning. I like my falafel with a fairly coarse texture, not mushy inside. And I love when you can taste the fresh herbs, and lots of them. So many times I’ve gone to a restaurant only to be […]
Fair warning, this dish has a good amount of prep. It’s easy prep, but there’s a lot of chopping going on. Unfortunately that may prevent it from being on your weeknight dinner list. The good news is, it makes quite a lot and get’s better as it sits. So make it on a Sunday afternoon […]
One thing I always have in my freezer is chipotle pepper sauce. I add it to all kinds of things so I love to have it on hand. I add it to chili, tomato based sauces, soups and even tempeh and tofu marinades. All you have to do is buy a can of chipotle peppers […]
I am all about easy one pot meals, especially on a weeknight. And though I am pretty good at just throwing ingredients together and coming up with something, I do like to have some go to recipes that save me when my brain is too tired to function. This vegan creole stew combines a ton […]
