This month’s recipe redux theme was New Year, New Ingredient. My new ingredient is chickpea pasta! I use it to create this high protein mushroom swiss pasta bake.
Usually, I wouldn’t make a dish like this for dinner. It’s just pasta, veggies, and cheese. There’s no specific source of protein, which I need as a 90% vegetarian who likes to work out. Continue reading

I have a few family members that eat dairy-free. Over the holidays when we are all together, sometimes finding meals that fit into everyone’s diet is difficult. I shared this vegan mushroom stroganoff with cashew cream with my family this holiday season, and everyone enjoyed!
As a kid, mom always used to make stroganoff; it was a family favorite. Around the dinner table, we all agreed that the cashew cream made a great substitute for the sour cream in our family recipe. Continue reading

I absolutely love veggie pasta recipes. My husband on the other hand, not so much. When I made this eggplant basil pasta bake with smoked mozzarella for dinner, I was floored when he said, Wow, this is really good!
I love eggplant Parmesan, but it takes waaaaay too long to make on a weeknight. I wanted to make a dish that reminded me of it, but was easier and faster to make. Continue reading

Every spring I go crazy over asparagus. This might be my last asparagus post this season. Maybe. Anyway, this lemon asparagus orzo with shrimp is a great recipe to end on, because it’s seriously delicious!
All the flavors of this dish pair perfectly. The asparagus is earthy, the lemon is bright, and the shrimp is sweet. Salt and spice are the only flavor profiles missing, and very easy to mix in with a little salt and pepper! Continue reading

Have you ever tried roasting tomatoes? They make a pasta sauce that is out of this world! For a spring-time dinner, I roasted asparagus right along with cherry tomatoes to make this roasted cherry tomato and asparagus pasta!
Cherry tomatoes are among the sweetest tomatoes. Roasting them concentrates and caramelizes that sweet juicy flavor. It is my new favorite way to enjoy cherry tomatoes! Continue reading
