Simple Bean Enchiladas

Enchiladas are one of my favorite week night dinners.  All you have to do is stuff a tortilla, smother in sauce and cheese, and bake.  Easy.  You can stuff an enchilada with almost anything it seems.  However, the more ingredients you use, the more prep work you have.  And you need a filling that will hold together instead of tumbling out of the enchilada with every chance.

Greek Wheat Berry Salad

Greek is one of my favorite salad types.  Greek salads always include bold flavors and lots of color!  This salad is perfect for the summertime using fresh and widely available produce, like cucumbers and tomatoes.  I like to make a big batch to take to work all week long.  Everyone is jealous at lunch time when I open up my mug!

Red Beans and Rice

I love spicy food!  Cajun flavors are always a favorite, but they rarely come vegetarian.  I have adapted this red beans and rice recipe to include all the spicy and smokey flavors, without the associated sausage.

This recipe is made in the slow cooker, making it a summertime favorite.  When standing around the hot stove or oven isn’t cutting it anymore, break out the slow cooker!  I have a small slow cooker (1.5 quarts), which is perfect for two people.  You can double the recipe for a larger slow cooker and have enough for a crowd!

Taco Pizza

Taco pizza is a total comfort food for me.  I grew up in a small town where the only fast food was the local gas station that made pizza.  We didn’t have take out pizza often, but it was always a treat.  Taco pizza was always my favorite, so I created a taco pizza that is vegetarian to remind me of the old comfort food I grew up on.
