Every spring I go crazy over asparagus. This might be my last asparagus post this season. Maybe. Anyway, this lemon asparagus orzo with shrimp is a great recipe to end on, because it’s seriously delicious!
All the flavors of this dish pair perfectly. The asparagus is earthy, the lemon is bright, and the shrimp is sweet. Salt and spice are the only flavor profiles missing, and very easy to mix in with a little salt and pepper! Continue reading

Cherry tomatoes are among the sweetest tomatoes. Roasting them concentrates and caramelizes that sweet juicy flavor. It is my new favorite way to enjoy cherry tomatoes! Continue reading

Cabbage is one of my favorite veggies I keep in the fridge for fast easy meals. This week, I am sharing a Chinese green cabbage noodle stir fry recipe.
Red cabbage is my go-to cabbage variety. Green cabbage has a little less flavor, and of course, less color. Sometimes, I find green cabbage harder to use because of what it is missing in comparison to red. Continue reading

Leafy greens are one of the hardest foods for me to consume regularly. Spinach and kale are the easy ones. I devour kale salads when I bother to make them, and I try to mix spinach into dishes like quesadillas or lasagna. I mixed chard into enchiladas before, but I was inspired by Joanne@Eats Well with Others to try a pesto! This spicy cauliflower Swiss chard pesto pasta recipe was amazing! Seriously, I surprised myself with how much I loved it, and I found a new way to enjoy more leafy greens like chard. Continue reading

Back when I posted my Lentil Loaf recipe I told you all that meatloaf was a favorite food of mine as a child. Well, my other favorite food was lasagna. Mom would always ask us what meal we wanted to have for our birthdays, and I always chose lasagna. Now I make a veggie version, and I love this small batch veggie lasagna because it only makes 4 servings. With only two of us in the house, we don’t have to eat lasagna until we are tired of it!
