I am a huge fan of eggs, but my husband is not. Therefore, having eggs has become a treat I enjoy when I’m only cooking for myself. This zucchini tomato fritatta for one is a perfect light summer lunch, just for me!
This spring I fell in love with this kale and potato fritatta, but it was a little too much to eat all by myself. Summertime zucchini and tomato fill the fritatta up, but keep it light. Continue reading

This simple kale and potato frittata has become standard lunch fair on Saturdays at my house. Frittata’s are a great clean-out-the-fridge meal, but are also special enough to excite!

Let’s be completely honest today. I didn’t make these avocado breakfast tostadas for breakfast. Fried eggs are perfect for any time of the day, and made a speedy lunch this last weekend when I was busy!

The bold spices of this Moroccan chickpea carrot burger are balanced by sweet carrots. Carrots are one of the veggies I always keep on hand. In the last few weeks, all I have been able to find are whimpy, skinny, pencil sized carrots!
These small carrots are so frustrating for peeling and chopping. You have to deal with a million carrots instead of a few large ones. So instead, I found ways to use my carrots by shredding them. Continue reading
If you like spicy food, you have got to try these chipotle fish sliders with sriracha lime slaw! They have whole chipotle chilies blended into the fish patties, which is coated in corn tortilla chips.
The tortillas chips add nice texture, but better yet, they improve the flavor! The subtle sweetness from the corn compliments the chipotle. If you want to go an extra step with the sweet and spicy flavors, try sweet Hawaiian rolls! Continue reading
Who’s ready for some very veggie spinach artichoke calzones?? Me! Me, please!
Calzones are usually loaded with (delicious, ooey-gooey, high fat, not good for my waist-line) cheese. In my version, I loaded them up with veggies for guilt-free satisfaction. Continue reading

So, black eyed peas have not always been my favorite food. However, they are said to bring good luck to those who eat them on New Years Day! I love to partake in fun traditions, therefore I decided to experiment with black eyed peas to find a delicious way to eat them.
The tradition comes from the southern United States, so I figured Cajun flavors would work well. I love these Cajun black eyed pea sweet potato cakes, and plan to enjoy them for good luck in the new year! Continue reading
