Roasted Winter Veggies
During Christmas week, I took some “me” time. By which I mean I sat on the couch a lot and did marathons of shows. It was glorious. It didn’t hurt that I also had a stocking full of dark chocolate to keep me company. Oh and Hubby I have this obsession with anything British, and

Sweet Potato and Blue Cheese Gratin
While I love sweet potatoes, I know lots of people who don’t. Hubby is one of them. He thinks they are too sweet, which is what most people who don’t like them usually note. So, in my mission to make him like sweet potatoes, I try to make them really savory. A few years ago

Green Bean Casserole
One of my favorite holiday dishes? Green bean casserole. I don’t think I have ever had it when made with the condensed soup, but from scratch it is so darn tasty!!!!!!!! I usually make it with sour cream, but have recently discovered that full fat Greek yogurt is even better with a much healthier nutrition

Quinoa with Roasted Brussels and Pomegranate Dressing
Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite foods. Does that make me weird? I can’t help it, when they are roasted up all brown and crispy, I stuff my face and go to my happy place.
Corn and Quinoa Stuffing

Healthy Mashed Potatoes
Can you keep a secret? I hide veggies sometimes. I have found that people who claim to hate a vegetable will eat it very willingly if it is disguised as something else. And really, even though I love my veggies, I like to sneak them for myself sometimes too. A big bowl of mashed potatoes

Simple Roasted Broccoli
Serves 4 I love roasted veggies. Especially in the colder weather, when having the oven on means I can hover around it for warmth. They are also amazingly tasty. So, even though these recipes are simple, they are super yummy as well, and a really good way to up the veggie ante for any meal.

Simple Roasted Brussels Sprouts
I really don’t understand why Brussels sprouts have such a bad rep. I discovered their deliciousness in college, and never turned back. Roasted up they are seriously delicious; I can eat a whole container of them myself. I have converted many people to Brussels sprout lovers; so if you haven’t tried them yet, come join

Vegan Succotash
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

Vegan Sausage Flavored Potatoes
When hubby suggested I make these (yes it was totally his idea) I thought it was kind of a strange concept. But, he is not often wrong, so I went with it. And boy am I glad I did, these were sooooooo good!! I made them for breakfast on Saturday morning with vegan scrambled eggs.
