Fall is finally in full swing, and that always puts me in the mood for comfort food like mac and cheese. I didn’t want to compromise when I made my version, so you won’t find extra things like squash in this healthy-ish stove top mac and cheese.
Don’t get me wrong. I love a good butternut squash cheese sauce, but when you want the real deal, nothing else will do. Continue reading

I am not the only one in my family that likes to cook. Many, many moons ago, I shared a lemon caper dressing recipe with my family that was a hit. Not long after, this creamy smoked tofu and olive pasta salad recipe, using my dressing, was shared with me.
I don’t believe I would have ever google searched for a pasta salad like this one; the mix of ingredients seams random, but I promise you it is not. The combination of flavors is specific and on point. Continue reading

I enjoyed this clam and arugula pasta a lot this spring when the arugula was growing in the garden. It is a light and refreshing meal that is quick and easy to make. I can’t wait for my fall arugula patch to grow so that I can start enjoying it again!
I am a huge fan of simple veggie pasta dishes. Pasta, especially spaghetti, is such comfort food for me. When you add seafood such as clams, it takes elevates comfort food to the next level! Continue reading

The first time I came across this idea to turn Caesar salad into a pasta salad, it was in a cooking magazine. After a quick google search, it appears that I am behind in the game because kale caesar pasta salad is definitely a thing already.
I tried to make mine a little bit different by adding more garlic, and skipping the croutons, using only pasta in my pasta salad. Also, I added red cabbage for a splash of color. Continue reading

Have you dreamed about a lasagna that took only one dish to make, and could be finished in 30 minutes or less? What if it also used up those leftover noodles, especially the broken ones? I think you have been dreaming about this broken lasagna noodle and mushroom skillet recipe.
When I was developing this recipe, I was using up a box of lasagna noodles with only three left. Not enough for lasagna, or lasagna roll-ups honestly. Continue reading

That time of the year where life starts to get crazy busy is here again. It’s back to school time, and for me that means meal prep! One of my favorite ways to meal prep is to grill some extra veggies to use in other meals, like this grilled portabella and lentil spaghetti recipe.
Do you practice meal prep? I highly recommend it as it is a time saver in the long run. I like to meal prep all sorts of things, like grilling vegetables for this recipe, or cooking a big batch of grains or making work lunches for the week. Continue reading

Friends, it has been a busy summer, but I have not forgotten about you and your recipe needs! This roasted cauliflower and spinach pasta recipe is a simple one that I whipped up out of leftover ingredients in the fridge but I loved it so much that I though you all needed to have it here.
I wrote this recipe as a single serving because that is how I made it. It could easily be doubled or quadrupled to serve your whole family or to take to a cookout. Continue reading

This coconut turmeric noodle bowl with tofu and veggies was inspired by golden milk, a creamy drink or tea made with a base of plant-based milk and turmeric. I used the golden milk in place of broth to make a creamy noodle bowl that can be eaten hot or cold.
This isn’t a soup recipe because the ingredients are prepared individually, not together in one pot. It resembles a buddah bowl more than it does soup. Continue reading

The ingredients are simple and there are many swaps that can be made with success, even for a novice cook like myself when I was young. It is also full of flavor making it an easy favorite to have again and again, which I did! Continue reading
