Seared Artichoke and White Bean Pasta

Posted on March 11, 2023 | Leave a comment

This recipe is a classic example of how good canned vegetables can be. I have tried this seared artichoke and white bean pasta recipe with frozen artichoke hearts as well and found it to be a little too dry. The artichokes that are canned in brine are better suited for searing because they don’t dry out as much while they caramelize.

The searing process adds not only a pop of color, but also bring out the sweetness of the artichokes beautifully. It takes a little time, so be patient. The end result is a delicious yet simple pasta dinner. Continue reading →

Miso Butternut Squash and Spinach Spaghetti Pie

Posted on January 14, 2023 | Leave a comment

Who else thinks that pasta is comfort food? I can eat pasta all day, and this miso butternut squash and spinach spaghetti pie hits the top of the list! Why? This recipe has a few things that other pasta bakes do not.

A spaghetti pie is unique because it is bound together by egg, just enough that the strands stick together making cutable wedges. Most bakes fall part upon serving, or have loads of cheese holding them together. Continue reading →

Healthy-ish Stove Top Mac and Cheese

Posted on October 15, 2022 | Leave a comment

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 →

Creamy Pesto Arugula and Tomato Wraps

Posted on June 4, 2022 | Leave a comment

I grow arugula in my garden every year. It is such an easy plant to grow, it sprouts early, loves the colder months, and grows faster than any lettuce I have grown. This also produces my favorite problem, I end up with lots of arugula to find interesting new ways to use. Therefore, today I am sharing my creamy pesto arugula and tomato wraps.

The creamy pesto sauce idea was developed by one of those lightbulb-moments. I wanted to add protein to the wrap, but didn’t want roll-y chickpeas all over the place making the wrap difficult to eat. I opted for white beans instead of chickpeas, and decided to puree them into a flavorful spread, like hummus, but different. Continue reading →

Savory Fajita Steel Cut Oats

Posted on May 21, 2022 | Leave a comment

I have long read about savory oats, but it took me a long time to try them. I was going through all the grains stashed in the back of the pantry, deciding what needed to be used first. The steel cut oats were on the top of the list, and thus I made savory fajita steel cut oats!

The steel cut oats have a creamy texture in comparison to making a grain bowl with rice or quinoa. Think of it like a polenta bowl instead, but made with wholesome oats. Continue reading →

Broken Lasagna Noodle and Mushroom Skillet

Posted on May 14, 2022 | Leave a comment

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 →

Smoked Trout Melts

Posted on April 16, 2022 | Leave a comment

Calling all trout fishermen and fisherwomen! I have taken the classic tuna melt, and transformed it into a trout fishermans dreams, smoked trout melts. It is ultra creamy, while still slightly smokey and sweet, and it’s ready for dinner in only 15 minutes!

I love to spend a whole day pulling out the smoker and loading it with trout and my homemade smoked tofu recipe, along with whatever else suits my fancy. Smoked trout is a true delicacy, and I always make enough for plenty of leftovers! Continue reading →

White Cheddar Broccoli Cauliflower Soup

Posted on January 22, 2022 | 2 comments

Before I developed this recipe, I had never tried to make homemade broccoli cheddar soup. Broccoli is (one of) my favorite vegetables, so it was about time! I made some tweeks to my recipe, and thus named it white cheddar broccoli cauliflower soup.

For me, making a dish healthy is not about subtracting “bad” ingredients, it’s about adding more “good” ingredients. Therefore, I tried to load my recipe with lots of vegetables to balance with the the fat from the dairy. Continue reading →

Mushroom and Pickled Onion Sandwiches

Posted on January 15, 2022 | Leave a comment

Whenever I enjoy a sandwich, I want it to be over-the-top. So full of flavor and texture that you’ll beleive its the best food in the world. These mushroom and pickled onion sandwiches are rather simple, yet loaded with both texture and flavor.

Lets start by discussing the texture. The silky cheese coats the mushroom pieces helping to hold them together, pickled onions add brightness, and the lettuce and toasted bread add crunch. Continue reading →

Salmon and Potato Au Gratin

Posted on December 12, 2021 | Leave a comment

My husband and I celebrated our first dating anniversary (many moons ago) at this little Scandinavian café at a vineyard that had a limited menu. We both adore fish and tried the fish au gratin and fell in love with the dish! Today I make salmon and potato au gratin at home for special occasions.

Au gratin is a special occasion dish as it is very rich, loaded with milk and cheese. It is perfect for indulgent meals that you want to celebrate, including the holidays! I have made it with both 2% milk and whole milk, and both work, but the whole milk is just a bit richer. Continue reading →
