Goat Cheese Artichoke Pasta with Asparagus

Posted on April 12, 2020 | Leave a comment

One of the most popular dishes on the blog is my goat cheese baked artichoke hearts recipe. I decieded to turn this side dish into a meal with pasta! I made this goat cheese artichoke pasta with asparagus fresh from my garden!

Spring is the perfect time of year to be reaching for jarred or frozen veggies, becasue there is not much in season. Enter artichokes hearts. I recommend getting the jars packed in water. Frozen can get dry when cooked, and brined can over do-it on the salt! Continue reading →

Vegan Red Lentil Potato Fritters

Posted on March 21, 2020 | Leave a comment

Many of us across the nation are on work-from-home or shelter-in-place orders due to covid-19. Many of the shelves in the grocery stores are bare, so I have decided to see what I can make from my pantry at home and came up with these vegan red lentil potato fritters!

The best part about these fritters? They are a meal in themselves. The red lentils add protein and the potato adds carbs. I litterally didn’t make anything to go with these because they don’t necessarily need it. Continue reading →

Easy Shrimp Noodles with Cilantro

Posted on February 23, 2020 | Leave a comment

Sometimes when I see special ingredients, I get super exicted about finding a fun new way to use them. I found these forbidden rice noodles, and knew that they would be perfect for these easy shrimp noodles with cilantro!

You can certainly make this recipe with any kind of noodle. The flavor won’t be that different, but I do like the contrast that it adds to the dish. The pink shrimp look so inviting on the black noodles! Continue reading →

Whole Wheat Ricotta Gnocchi with Rustic Tomato Sauce

Posted on January 11, 2020 | 2 comments

Gnocchi are soft, fluffy, little pillows of Italian pasta that are surprisingly easy to make. They come in multiple varieties, including potato gnocchi and ricotta gnocchi. Ricotta gnocchi come together much faster than their potato counterpart. This whole wheat ricotta gnocchi with rustic tomato sauce is so easy that anyone can do it!

I try to eat whole foods whenever possilbe. I wanted to have light and pillowy gnocchi, so I tried whole wheat pastry flour and it was a huge success. You would never notice that these were whole wheat. Continue reading →

Vegetarian Baked Potato Soup

Posted on December 31, 2019 | Leave a comment

Todays recipe is a little more indulgent than it is healthy. I made vegetarian baked potato soup out of some leftover baked potatoes, and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day.

I say that this recipe is more indulgent because it is heavy on the dairy and saturated fats. There are some recipes that just don’t work well when you try to lighten them up, and that’s ok. Reserve them for special occasions, not your weekly rotation. Continue reading →

Vegan Kimchi Fried Rice with Edamame

Posted on October 20, 2019 | 2 comments

I started experimenting with kimchi as an ingredient long ago. So far, my favorite way to eat it is in fried rice. This vegan kimchi fried rice with edamame is a colorful dish that is super easy to make!

I previously posted a kimchi fried rice recipe that had a sunny side up egg on top. This vegan version is just as good, and is a bit more colorful thanks to the red cabbage. Continue reading →

Cherry Tomato Pasta Puttanesca

Posted on October 5, 2019 | 4 comments

October is finally here, and the garden is starting to wind down. It’s that time of year when I have more cherry tomatoes than I know what to do with! This year I experimented with this cherry tomato pasta puttanesca.

Puttanesca is known as the poor man meal in early Italy. It has simple ingredients that bring in big flavors. Canned tomatoes are more traditional, but I gave this simple Italian dish a fresh spin by using garden fresh cherry tomatoes. Continue reading →

Feta and Herb Coleslaw

Posted on September 7, 2019 | Leave a comment

One of the vegetables that I always have in my fridge is red cabbage. It can add crunch and color to almost any dish, even as a simple side like this feta and herb coleslaw.

The sauce is blended up in the food processor, and you simply mix it with sliced cabbage. This is a seriously easy side that takes almost no time or effort. Continue reading →

Mediterranean Chickpea Zucchini Skillet

Posted on August 31, 2019 | 4 comments

This one skillet meal screams summer with all its fresh ingredients! My favorite part of this mediterranean chickpea zucchini skillet? The wine sauce! It ties the whole dish together.

Ok, so no duh, I love the wine sauce. I do love wine. It’a also an important component because it keeps the skillet moist. Mine completely absorbed (so it wasn’t very saucy) but the flavor it added was SO good! Continue reading →

Lemon Dill Zucchini Fritters with Yogurt Sauce

Posted on August 5, 2019 | 2 comments

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 →
