10 Minute Meals
Vegan California Roll Bowl

Vegan California Roll Bowl

Today I am going to be constructively deconstructive. Because realistically, I am probably not going to roll my own sushi.  I mean, I think it sounds like a ton of fun, and I am sure I would get a lot of laughs at how hilariously bad I would be at it…I mean just yesterday I

Apple Cheddar Wrap Sandwich

Apple Cheddar Wrap Sandwich

I am not sure what it is about putting food into a wrap that makes it so tasty.  The simplest ingredients are transformed to amazing meals!  Now that I can find good quality wraps, I like throwing a bunch of healthy stuff in a wrap for an easy last minute lunch or dinner. Apples, cheddar,

Curried Chickpea Salad

Curried Chickpea Salad

I am a cheese ball, and I love puns.  One of my favorite puns is using “chickpeas” in place of “chicken”.  But then I think I might be the only one who gets the joke.  At least I always know one person will be laughing at my jokes (even if it’s just me)! Apparently curried

Vegan Broccoli Stir Fry

Vegan Broccoli Stir Fry

It’s been a good week.  I am loving the longer days, and while the temps are still a little too brisk to be Spring, they are definitely creeping higher! I know this weekend is St. Patrick’s day, so I should be making something like cabbage rolls, or shamrock shakes, but I kinda dropped the ball

I officially hate squats. Occasionally, Hubby acts as my personal trainer, which is usually fantastic because he makes me push myself.  But the other day he had me doing squats.  I guess I haven’t done squats in a while.  Because first my legs turned to jelly, and then for several days I could barely walk.

When we were in Disney we had dinner one of the nights at Germany in Epcot.  The food was amazing.  I love German food, but it can be kind of meat heavy so I was a little worried there wouldn’t be much food for me at the restaurant. Because I think everything in Disney is

Southwestern Sweet Potato Hash

Southwestern Sweet Potato Hash

You know I like quick meals.  I find myself especially drawn to them lately as the hustle and bustle of the holidays and this time of the year kicks in. So I got to thinking about things that could cook in 10 minutes.  And then I started thinking about sweet potatoes.  As Lorelei so elegantly

Mushroom Stroganoff

Mushroom Stroganoff

There was a time when cooking wasn’t really my thing.  I was a pastry chef, and I didn’t care as much about cooking dinner.  It was a time when my fallback dinner was some kind of meat in the crockpot.  Not glamorous.  But I used to make a beef stroganoff that was pretty darn good,

I hope you all had an awesome weekend!! We had our Halloween party and it was so much fun!!  Hubby made the quinoa salad, and dressed up like Indiana Jones (I loved him in that hat!).  I was a skeleton… I’ll get some photos to share with you guys tomorrow.  But overall it was such

Corn season is amazing.  Nothing beats the flavor of super fresh sweet corn.  I am terribly spoiled because I am fortunate enough to live so close to farms where I can get super fresh produce at this time of the year.  But even the kind you buy at the supermarket at this time of the

10 minute meals are my favorite.  I wish all cooking only took 10 minutes.  Obviously I love cooking and playing around in the kitchen, but meals that take less time are just so much easier.  This one is a joy for that reason.  It honestly takes you far less time to make than you would

Savory Fig Sandwiches

Makes 3 Sandwiches Figs are so pretty and so delicious.  I never remember their season but know when it comes around because it is the only time of the year I can find these little beauties fresh at the store. When we visited our friends in Atlanta last month, their neighbor had a fig tree
