Who else could eat pasta all day? Hand raised here. Pasta makes a simple and easy meal that can be done in soooo many different ways. For example, my lemon dill orzo with snap peas is made in a single pot with minimal prep!
Recently, I read about how whole wheat orzo has three times as much fiber as brown rice, and twice as much protein! I love to use whole grains in my cooking, and this justifies my love for pasta! Continue reading

I ate these lemon dill zucchini fritters with yogurt sauce for dinner last week. It was one of those nights that I just didn’t want to make anything else. But that’s how I roll.
I’m an entree girl, very seldom do I make a main and side dish. That’s why all my veggie burger recipes make 4, because I eat 2 for dinner! Also, egg rolls. I eat them as an entree as well. It’s tasty. Why not? Continue reading

I have done it again. All things gyro! This time, I made gyro tofu sliders with tzatziki slaw. The tofu was pan fried so it was nice and crispy on the outside, just the way I like it!
The first time I tried this recipe, I was using up leftovers from the fridge. I had just made my favorite gyro recipe, these tempeh gyro tacos, and I was inspired to try the marinade with some leftover tofu. Continue reading
This fresh-from-the-garden cucumber dill quinoa salad with chickpeas is light and refreshing, but also filling. The chickpeas and quinoa and loaded with protein to help sustain you all day long.
I love a simple red wine vinaigrette on most of my salads. They are so easy to make and add huge amounts of flavor. Quinoa will soak up the dressing, so if you are making a large batch and plan to have leftovers (say, work lunches), store the dressing separately. Continue reading

My family loves smoked trout. We always make big batches when the family gathers and I love to bring home leftovers to play with in the kitchen. This recipe using smoked trout is very simple, yet very elegant.
First is the potato pancakes. These hash brown-like patties serve as the base for this dish and use grated russet potatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper. Making the pancake crispy requires removing liquid from the potatoes. I simply took handfuls of grated potato and squeezed out excess moisture over the sink. If you have kids, this could be a fun way for them to contribute in the kitchen!
