Beet Sliders

I bet it hasn’t escaped your notice that we are heading into a holiday weekend.  The approach of a holiday (aka time off) in grown up world still feels the same to me as they did as a kid/teen.  There is like a palpable energy that I remember even the teachers embraced by having a

Vegetarian Tostadas

Vegetarian Tostadas

Yesterday was a good day for me. Though it wasn’t taco Tuesday with a movie, I did have tacos and see a movie.  Which were delicious and amazing respectively. I spent the afternoon not doing work, and instead planning our next trip to Disney, which makes me giddy with excitement. I also got to crack

Vegan Veggie Burgers

Vegan Veggie Burgers

One of my favorite parts of summer is veggie burgers.  I know its summer when I feel tempted to either grill everything, or eat everything raw.  (I tend to go on raw food kicks in the nice weather, it’s a wonderful time because dinner is chop chop and done) I have been trying to perfect

Pizza Quinoa

Pizza Quinoa

This is one of my favorite lazy day dinners.  I always keep jars of tomato sauce in the pantry, and kale in the freezer.  So I can whip this up almost any day, even if I haven’t been to the food store in a while.  And it’s ready in no time.  If I have mozzarella,

Vegan Grilled Tofu Tacos

Vegan Grilled Tofu Tacos

Taco Tuesday is one of my favorite things.  First of all, what is better then knowing what you are eating for dinner without having to go through the whole “what do you feel like” routine?  And also, tacos are delicious. I was psyched about these because they ended up looking really pretty, and tasted even

Kale and Bean Francese (vegetarian and vegan)

Kale and Bean Francese (vegetarian and vegan)

With the weather firmly standing in Spring territory lately (we hit 70 this weekend!), things are starting to bloom and green.  If you have done or are doing a CSA, you may be getting a ton of greens at this time.  Or you may have that in store for you in the coming weeks. After

Tomato, Lemon and Green Olive Pasta

Tomato, Lemon and Green Olive Pasta

When Hubby and I were first dating, this sauce was one of the only things he cooked.  At that point, he hadn’t done much cooking, yet somehow everything he made was incredible.  This included.  So not only is this a super tasty recipe, it is one I love just because it reminds me of those

Vegetarian Mexican Stir Fry

Vegetarian Mexican Stir Fry

There is a crazy good Mexican restaurant that I have been frequenting for years.  I am pretty much in love with the place.  And I have always ordered the “create your own burrito.” Until one day when Hubby pointed out how strange it was that I had never ordered the “vegetarian burrito.”  I guess I

Egg and Veggie Salad

Egg and Veggie Salad

When I was little, we used to dye Easter eggs as a fun craft a few days before Easter.  Then my Mom would hide them around in our downstairs before we woke up on Easter morning. One year she hid the eggs (real eggs), before my sister and I woke up, we got up and

Spring Vegetable Pasta (gluten-free)

Spring Vegetable Pasta (gluten-free)

I am daydreaming about the day that I drive past the farm, and they have the little sign out front: Our Asparagus Is Here!  I will pull in like a stunt driver in an action movie trying to lose their tail, and snatch up 4 bunches (that generally lasts us only a couple days when

Vegan Vietnamese Spring Rolls

Vegan Vietnamese Spring Rolls

  For me, there is nothing like a bunch of crunchy fresh veggies for lunch at this time of the year.  I am starting to wear 2 layers instead of 4 (true story, I really do wear a million layers in the winter), and my emails from the clothing stores are telling me that dress

Kale Bean and Tomato Pasta

Kale Bean and Tomato Pasta

Kale is such a super veggie.  It grows in cooler weather, making it available when not much else is, and of course there are all those health benefits.  What I am loving about it lately is that I can buy huge bunches of it, remove the stem, and throw it in a bag in the
