When I was digging through the fridge trying to come up with ideas for a quick meal, I thought of those thai crunch salads you see all over pinterest. Well, mine isn’t exactly thai, but it is a delicious crunchy asian chopped salad with peanut dressing! Continue reading →

Lemon Dill Orzo with Snap Peas

Posted on June 3, 2020 | 2 comments

Who else could eat pasta all day? Hand raised here. Pasta makes a simple and easy meal that can be done in soooo many different ways. For example, my lemon dill orzo with snap peas is made in a single pot with minimal prep!

Recently, I read about how whole wheat orzo has three times as much fiber as brown rice, and twice as much protein! I love to use whole grains in my cooking, and this justifies my love for pasta! Continue reading →

Roasted Red Pepper Quinoa Salad

Right now I am craving fresh summer produce! Unfortunately, it’s just not here yet. My pepper plants in the garden are still only 4 inches tall! Therefore, I made this roasted red pepper quinoa salad using pantry staples instead.

A jar of roasted red peppers is an easy ingredient to keep in the cupboard to make a quick meal. It’s perfect for this time of year when you want fresh peppers that aren’t quite in season. Continue reading →

Mushroom Lentil Enchiladas

This is hands down my favorite enchilada recipe. When I make enchiladas, I don’t bother with other recipes because this mushroom lentil enchiladas recipe is the best! The caramalized swiss cheese is enough to make me swoon!

I have posted a similar recipe before (find it here), but I have improved upon it by adding some subtle spices that round out the earthiness of the mushrooms and lentils. Seriously guys. Best. Enchiladas. EVER! Continue reading →

This is not my first wrap on the blog with tempeh. (Check out this Korean BBQ Wrap recipe.) Tempeh is a great plant-based protein source that takes well to many flavors, adding to the variations on wraps that you can make! Continue reading →

Veggie Breakfast Quesadilla

Mexican food is my aboslute favortie cuisine, so I figured, why not have it for breakfast? This veggie breakfast quesadilla is loaded with scrambled eggs, diced veggies, and cheddar cheese!

Honestly, this recipe is so simple and quick, you could make it for a speedy weeknight dinner, or easy on-the-go lunch as well. It doesn’t even really have the “breakfast for dinner” vibe like when you have pancakes for dinner. Continue reading →

Asparagus Snap Pea Pasta Salad

Posted on April 26, 2020 | 3 comments

Every morning while I’m eating my breakfast, I love to read a cooking magazine. Some people read newspapers, others social media, but I’m all about diving into recipes! This asparagus snap pea pasta salad was inspired by a similar recipe I came across recently.

The recipe was for a lemon dill orzo, and my garden dill has only just started to sprout. My asparagus and snap peas are in full swing, however, so I took the idea and changed it based on what I had. Continue reading →

Toffee Dark Chocolate Almond Clusters

Posted on April 19, 2020 | Leave a comment

There is a local bakeshop that makes the most delicious peanut clusters. I decided that quarantine was the best time to try and make some myself! Mine are different, but these toffee dark chocolate almond clusters are amazing!

I try to reduce added sugars in my diet wherever possible. Therefore, dark chocolate is a better choice for me than milk chocolate. Especially when I’m combining it with toffee, which is very sweet (and delicious!). Continue reading →

Goat Cheese Artichoke Pasta with Asparagus

Posted on April 12, 2020 | Leave a comment

One of the most popular dishes on the blog is my goat cheese baked artichoke hearts recipe. I decieded to turn this side dish into a meal with pasta! I made this goat cheese artichoke pasta with asparagus fresh from my garden!

Spring is the perfect time of year to be reaching for jarred or frozen veggies, becasue there is not much in season. Enter artichokes hearts. I recommend getting the jars packed in water. Frozen can get dry when cooked, and brined can over do-it on the salt! Continue reading →
