Yes, that is right. We are making slaw with cheese and nuts today. This red cabbage feta and candied almond slaw is almost more like a salad. It has a sharp and savory vinaigrette like a salad, but the red cabbage really eats more like a slaw. Whether you think it should be called a slaw or a salad is up to you.

Spiced Pumpkin Lentil Soup

Posted on February 13, 2017 | 6 comments

Today we are going to talk about soup. I despised soup as a young adult. Afterall, it came out of a can. When I started to make my own homemade soups, I realized that canned soup did not compare at all in flavor and texture. Homemade soup is a really easy meal to make as well. I enjoy eating soups over fall and winter the most because they help to warm you up. This spiced pumpkin lentil soup is especially warming and filling. Continue reading →

Zucchini Corn and Bean Enchiladas

Posted on January 6, 2017 | 6 comments

Happy New Year everyone! This is my first post of the new year, and I’m so excited to share my plans for the year. As I shared in my best of 2016 post, I recently made a move into a house where I have lots of space. Now that I have space, I’m very excited to be able to establish a large garden. Last year I joined a CSA because I knew I wouldn’t get a garden planted in time. I did get to grow a few plants, but this year I want to see the garden expand with lots of vegetables, including some spring and fall crops. One of my favorite veggies to grow is zucchini, which is the inspiration for today’s recipe. Zucchini corn and bean enchiladas are simple and easy, especially if you have zucchini growing in your garden. Continue reading →

Super Fast Vegetarian White Chili

Posted on December 20, 2016 | Leave a comment

The first time I had white chili, I was being a judge in a chili cook off. I was in love from first bite! White chili doesn’t have the typical flavors of chili that use things like chili powder. Instead the green chili flavor is strong, which I love. This super fast vegetarian white chili recipe is quicker to make than most chili recipes. This recipe uses store bought salsa, making it really fast to throw together, which is always a plus! Continue reading →

Every year when summer rolls around, I can’t wait for the fresh produce to start filling my plate. However when fall gets here, I seem to have a hard time giving up summer.
