Today I have a simple recipe to share. I have always loved ravioli, a comfort food from my childhood. This ravioli bake with spinach and mushrooms is lasagna-like, with layers of noodles, cheese, sauce, and veggies.
If you still have family hanging around after the holidays, this dish can be adapted to fit anyone’s taste. It goes in and out of the oven in a cinch!

The farmer’s market here is finally over. Finally seams inappropriate because I will miss it so greatly until April rolls around. Saturday mornings in the spring are like Christmas for me. What surprises will there be? What will I not be able to go home without after its first appearance at the market? For this soup, I let the lingering fall produce make my selections. Bok choy was only $1.00! I coudn’t leave it behind, and hence this soup was born.

It is raining and cold outside today. A perfect day for a rich and warming comfort food like pot pies. I loved pot pies as a kid, which is why I consider them a total comfort food. This version is made with mushrooms and lentils to make it hearty and filling. Veggies like potatoes and carrots make it classic. It will even work well as a vegetarian main dish at thanksgiving, for all your veggie friends and family!

Black and blue is a flavor combination that is hard to beat! Tangy blue cheese and spicy blackening season complement each other so well, it is a classic combination. Before I started to focus on whole foods, I would put blackening seasoning and blue cheese on frozen burgers. This homemade black and blue veggie burger is so much better, and better for you!

I know I said that I was going to embrace fall. Yet here I am posting about summer vegetables…still. At the farmers market this morning there were still so many yummy summer vegetables to enjoy, I couldn’t help myself! There were a few butternut squash, but I have all winter to enjoy the long lasting squash (which is another great vegetable to roast, by the way). So there you have it, summer roasted veggies with my special seasoning blend!

Veggie burgers are a fun way that anyone can enjoy a meatless meal. Literally anything can be bound into a patty and called a burger. This means that the options are limitless! Use your favorite grains, veggies, and proteins to create a satisfying meal. Any flavor combination you can dream up is possible. These black bean and mushroom burgers have all the components that make up a good veggie burger.

Happy 4th of July! This Independence Day don’t leave your vegetarian friends out of your menu planning. This sandwich is simple enough that it can be prepared in your backyard, or a gathering at the park. Enjoy it while celebrating our country’s independence, watching fireworks, and of course, grilling!
Quality ingredients are what shine through in this dish. Crusty caibatta bread (pictured below right) makes a ideal delivery system for perfectly grilled veggies. My veggies of choice are zucchini and mushrooms. Use a grill topper to keep veggies from slipping through the grill rack, like I did with my mushrooms (pictured right). Additional veggies are also great to much on while you grill, like the stray carrot that I hadn’t eat yet before this photo was snapped. Play around with your vegetables of choice, or if hosting a party, have multiple options available for guests to choose from.
