My husband has said hands down, this soft zucchini taco shells recipe is his favorite way to enjoy the gluttony of zucchini that has come out of our garden this summer. It might be a good way to sneak some veggies in for picky eaters too!
What make this recipe a taco shell and not just a tortilla? Masa harina is the flour used to make corn tortillas, the base for most authentic tacos. I use it here to give these tortillas the flavor of a corn tortilla, and help bind the zucchini together. Continue reading

I have long adored falafel from restaurants, but thought it was going to be complicated to make at home. Honestly, now that I’ve tried it, it is soooo easy. I make these baked falafel lettuce wraps with lemon aioli on weeknights!
The only downside to this recipe is that you cannot use canned chickpeas. You must soak dried chickpeas for 8-24 hours, which requires some advanced planning. Continue reading

Who else could eat pasta all day? Hand raised here. Pasta makes a simple and easy meal that can be done in soooo many different ways. For example, my lemon dill orzo with snap peas is made in a single pot with minimal prep!
Recently, I read about how whole wheat orzo has three times as much fiber as brown rice, and twice as much protein! I love to use whole grains in my cooking, and this justifies my love for pasta! Continue reading

Every morning while I’m eating my breakfast, I love to read a cooking magazine. Some people read newspapers, others social media, but I’m all about diving into recipes! This asparagus snap pea pasta salad was inspired by a similar recipe I came across recently.
The recipe was for a lemon dill orzo, and my garden dill has only just started to sprout. My asparagus and snap peas are in full swing, however, so I took the idea and changed it based on what I had. Continue reading
