Slow Cooker Italian Lentil Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Posted on July 21, 2017 | 12 comments

This month’s theme for the recipe redux was to avoid heating up the kitchen by using a cool cooking appliance (ie not the oven). I love my big slow cooker for soups, but I don’t eat many soups during summer. The zucchini in my garden have been plentiful for a few weeks now, at one point I had a pile of 14 on my kitchen counter! Therefore, zucchini boats were in order. To fit in with the redux theme, I made slow cooker Italian lentil stuffed zucchini boats! Continue reading →

Lentil Salad with Asparagus and Radish

Posted on April 27, 2017 | 8 comments

I really love asparagus. I think it is the seasonality of it, the fact that it grows for a short time and then it’s gone for the season. Growing up, I ate farm fresh picked asparagus and now I refuse to buy it from the store; it just doesn’t taste the same. I love asparagus so much that I created an Asparagus Mini-Series last year that I am challenging myself to continue! Today I am sharing Lentil salad with Asparagus and Radish for the first Asparagus Mini-Series of 2017! Continue reading →

Vegan Mushroom Lentil Bolognase

Posted on March 31, 2017 | 14 comments

Simple pasta meals like bolognase were common when I was a kid. Mom could whip them up in hurry, and everyone would eat them! Some vegan versions of meat based foods are just not the same. This recipe is no different. It’s not the same, I think it’s better! Rich mushrooms and healthy proteins from lentils make this vegan mushroom lentil bolognase a pasta dish you’ll want to serve again and again! Continue reading →

Lentil Cauliflower Vegan Sloppy Joes

Posted on March 20, 2017 | 18 comments

I have been eating a mostly vegetarian diet for a little over five years. One of the things I find myself easily doing is eating a lot of carbohydrates. I get plenty of protein too, but when you are searching for substitutes in a dish like sloppy joes, carb-heavy fillers can become the easy choice. I finally upgraded my lentil and bulgar sloppy joes recipe, focusing on getting a serving of veggies instead of carbs. Lentil cauliflower vegan sloppy joes are just as tasty, and help me to focus on eating more vegetables! Continue reading →

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 →

Vegetable Lentil Pot Pie

Posted on February 8, 2017 | Leave a comment

I love comfort foods that are loaded full of veggies. You can feel like you are treating yourself, while you’re getting your quota of veggies for the day. It’s a total win-win scenario. Pot pies were a favorite meal of mine growing up, therefore this vegetable lentil pot pie fits the best of both worlds for me. It’s a total comfort food, and still very healthy. Continue reading →

Vegetarian Lentil Loaf with Tomato Glaze

Posted on January 16, 2017 | 4 comments

Meatloaf was my favorite meal as a kid, especially mom’s recipe. I would even help out in the kitchen to get some of mom’s meatloaf! When I turned to a mostly vegetarian diet, I didn’t expect any kind of loaf in my future. Meat imitations often times fail. They simply don’t, and won’t, taste like the real thing. I was hesitant to try a loaf recipe, however, my love for lentils has grown exponentially in the last few years. I decided to give a lentil loaf a try and we found another keeper for the rotation! My vegetarian lentil loaf with tomato glaze tastes nothing like meat (and shouldn’t), but is delicious on it’s own accord. It’s hearty, wholesome, and healthy! Continue reading →

Chard Potato Lentil Enchiladas

Posted on July 12, 2016 | 2 comments

Enchiladas is one of those dishes that you can throw just about anything into, and it still comes out awesome. I filled these chard potato lentil enchiladas with extra produce from my CSA, and added some lentils for protein. I cover mine in my favorite salsa verde and top with cheddar cheese, so easy, and so yummy! Continue reading →

Lentil Pecan Tacos

Posted on July 8, 2016 | Leave a comment

Tacos are by far one of the most awesome foods out there. No, seriously. They can be prepared in so many ways, and for so many diet preferences. Plus, they are delicious! In my avocado tostadas post I raved about tacos, and compared tostadas to the awesomeness of a taco. I love tacos so much that I have a taco pizza recipe, and a taco stuffed shells recipe. This lentil pecan tacos recipe is a traditional taco recipe, made to mimic what meat-eaters call a classic taco. Continue reading →
