In the name of healthy, I’ve been trying out a lot more vegetarian recipes the last few months. Perhaps my FAVORITE that I stumbled across is this recipe for black bean and sweet potato burritos from One Lovely Life. The flavor of these is out of this world and they’re SO SIMPLE. You can make […]
I ran across this recipe on Pinterest and immediately knew I HAD to try it. Because, seriously, it combines two of my favorite foods–white pizza and grilled cheese. What’s not to love? It’s a Cheese Lover’s Dream. I opted to make these Friday night for our girls’ weekend. Mine didn’t turn out as pretty […]
So it’s National Pasta Day! How cool is it that we have a day for that? So of course I had to feature, you know, pasta. I got invited by Classico to try out their new Creamy Spinach and Parmesan Pasta Sauce, along with a fabulous pasta pot, a swanky new Oxo grater, and some […]
I love my local Chinese place’s vegetable lo mein, and I never tire of trying to duplicate it. I haven’t managed it yet, but I really enjoy making my own Chinese food at home, making noodles and some kind of Asian themed sauce with a load of fresh veggies. It’s WAY healthier than traditional take […]
One of my favorite things in summer is a good Caprese salad. It takes advantage of all those lovely summer tomatoes and the fresh basil from my garden (well from the grocery store this time, since I didn’t get a garden planted because we moved), and fresh mozzarella which is just delicious. But I wasn’t […]
I started out making another batch of stuffed shells then realized I had way more filling than shells, so I swapped over to lasagna. Nice and simple. Makes 6 servings at 385 calories and 12.1 grams of fat and freezes beautifully. Ingredients: 2 cups simply cottage cheese 2 cups simply ricotta 8 oz. fresh mushrooms, […]
I’ve been on a crusade to try to be better about not wasting food. I’m really really bad about it with the new fridge because all the extra space is in depth and stuff gets lost in the back. So when I found half a container of ricotta, half a thing of cottage cheese, and […]
One of our former neighbors was a vegetarian, so I got into trying out bean burger recipes when we had neighborhood cookouts, so she wouldn’t have to bring her own burger. I’ve done black bean burgers before, but after the recent lentil burgers I made, I wanted to try adapting my recipe. The end result […]
I’m not vegetarian, but I do often like vegetarian meals. I’ve been on a kick for veggie based lunches lately to up my total veggie consumption. I’ve had this bag of red lentils for a few months with no clue what to do with them. I’m not a fan of Indian food, and I don’t […]
Red peppers were on special at Kroger a week or two ago, and I bought four with no idea what I intended to do with them. Time passed and, like half the contents of my fridge, I forgot about them. Found them again yesterday and determined I must stuff them with something! I have a […]
