Holiday Butternut Pecan Salad with Berry Vinaigrette

Posted on November 21, 2017 | 12 comments

In early September, I visited a small Italian cafe for lunch. They had a pumpkin ravioli and butternut squash salad on special that I tried and loved! The salad came topped with cold ravioli, and a mixed berry vinaigrette on the side. I loved all the fall flavors, and the colors reminded me of the holidays. This months recipe redux theme was to create “naturally-colored/naturally-dyed holiday fare.” When I recreated this holiday butternut pecan salad with berry vinaigrette, I knew it was perfect for the redux!

Ever since my trip to Puerto Rico in 2014, I have been in love with plantains. While there, I had tostones with a garlic vinaigrette that were fantastic. Someday I will share my recreation of that recipe too. This is only the second recipe I have shared on the blog using plantains. The first was my plantain black bean rice bowls with cilantro pesto. This time a transformed the plantain into veggie burgers. These Jamaican jerk plantain veggie burgers are loaded with flavor. Continue reading →

Lemony Zucchini Arugula Pesto

Posted on August 14, 2017 | 4 comments

Every morning I eat my breakfast cereal over a cooking magazine. My husband thinks I’m crazy to eat food and read about it at the same time, but it works for me. Heck, maybe I am crazy, only time will tell! I recently came across the idea to make zucchini into a pesto. I turned from the table, looked at my pile of garden zucchini on the counter, and immediately marked the page for later! My lemony zucchini arugula pesto is great as a dip or a spread!

Lentil Salad with Asparagus and Radish

Posted on April 27, 2017 | 8 comments

I really love asparagus. I think it is the seasonality of it, the fact that it grows for a short time and then it’s gone for the season. Growing up, I ate farm fresh picked asparagus and now I refuse to buy it from the store; it just doesn’t taste the same. I love asparagus so much that I created an Asparagus Mini-Series last year that I am challenging myself to continue! Today I am sharing Lentil salad with Asparagus and Radish for the first Asparagus Mini-Series of 2017! Continue reading →

It has a sharp and savory vinaigrette like a salad, but the red cabbage really eats more like a slaw. Whether you think it should be called a slaw or a salad is up to you. Once you try this recipe, you will be hooked! Continue reading →

Vegetarian Lentil Loaf with Tomato Glaze

Posted on January 16, 2017 | 4 comments

Meatloaf was my favorite meal as a kid, especially mom’s recipe. I would even help out in the kitchen to get some of mom’s meatloaf! When I turned to a mostly vegetarian diet, I didn’t expect any kind of loaf in my future. Meat imitations often times fail. They simply don’t, and won’t, taste like the real thing. I was hesitant to try a loaf recipe, however, my love for lentils has grown exponentially in the last few years. I decided to give a lentil loaf a try and we found another keeper for the rotation! My vegetarian lentil loaf with tomato glaze tastes nothing like meat (and shouldn’t), but is delicious on it’s own accord. It’s hearty, wholesome, and healthy! Continue reading →

Carrot Top Pesto Ravioli with Grilled Carrots

Posted on July 19, 2016 | Leave a comment

Most of us have heard the daunting numbers and statistics about food waste. The bottom line is that there is too much food that doesn’t get utilized. However, each of us can control the food waste that comes out of our own kitchens. When you buy carrots from the grocery store, their green tops have already been removed, but when you find them locally at a farmers market or in a CSA, often times they come with their greens. This carrot top pesto ravioli with grilled carrots is an awesome way to utilize the entire carrot plant! Continue reading →

Lentil Pecan Tacos

Posted on July 8, 2016 | Leave a comment

Tacos are by far one of the most awesome foods out there. No, seriously. They can be prepared in so many ways, and for so many diet preferences. Plus, they are delicious! In my avocado tostadas post I raved about tacos, and compared tostadas to the awesomeness of a taco. I love tacos so much that I have a taco pizza recipe, and a taco stuffed shells recipe. This lentil pecan tacos recipe is a traditional taco recipe, made to mimic what meat-eaters call a classic taco. Continue reading →
