Small Batch Veggie Lasagna

Posted on February 28, 2017 | 12 comments

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!

Black Bean Corn and Spinach Quesadillas

Posted on February 21, 2017 | 2 comments

I always tell my husband, any food that is a delivery service for cheese and salsa is my favorite food. These black bean corn and spinach quesadillas are just that! We cut ours into wedges for easy dipping into salsas and sour cream. This is one indulgent meal that you can whip up in no time, and feel good about because it is loaded with veggies. Check out my other favorite Tex-Mex style, cheese and salsa delivery systems below! Continue reading →

One Pot Spanish Wheat Berries with Chickpeas and Olives

Posted on February 17, 2017 | 6 comments

Wheat berries are my favorite grain to cook with. They are inexpensive, and the texture is outstanding! I feel like they get overlooked so often because gluten free grains are popular right now. Also, fancier wheat grains are often used by recipe developers, so they get all the hype. I have tried both farro and kamut (ancient wheat grain varieties), and I don’t think they are worth the extra money when compared to standard wheat berries. This one pot Spanish wheat berries with chickpeas and olives is a take on arroz con pollo, made vegetarian of course! 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 →

Wild Rice and Vegetable Soup

Posted on February 5, 2017 | 6 comments

I love to make soup out of whatever I might happen to already have on hand. If you have a good broth and a few veggies, you can certainly come up with a dinner worthy meal. In this soup, I used the last of my wild rice. Wild rice is a wonderful grain; it’s chewy and adds great color. In this wild rice and vegetable soup I used what I had on hand for vegetables including onion, celery, carrot, and spinach. 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 →

Zucchini Corn and Bean Enchiladas

Posted on January 6, 2017 | 6 comments

Happy New Year everyone! This is my first post of the new year, and I’m so excited to share my plans for the year. As I shared in my best of 2016 post, I recently made a move into a house where I have lots of space. Now that I have space, I’m very excited to be able to establish a large garden. Last year I joined a CSA because I knew I wouldn’t get a garden planted in time. I did get to grow a few plants, but this year I want to see the garden expand with lots of vegetables, including some spring and fall crops. One of my favorite veggies to grow is zucchini, which is the inspiration for today’s recipe. Zucchini corn and bean enchiladas are simple and easy, especially if you have zucchini growing in your garden. Continue reading →

My three bean chili recipe is an absolute favorite at my house! When ever I make a batch of chili, I always hoard some leftovers in the freezer for other meals. What, I just love chili! This one pot vegetarian chili mac recipe reminds me a lot of my classic chili, and therefore is anther favorite that would get hoarded… if there were ever any leftovers! Continue reading →

Every year when summer rolls around, I can’t wait for the fresh produce to start filling my plate. However when fall gets here, I seem to have a hard time giving up summer. I love fall vegetables, like butternut squash, but I’m just not over summer yet… Even though it’s almost the end of September. This Mediterranean Pasta Plate with Sun Dried Tomato Sauce is fresh and fast! It’s a great way to use the tomatoes and cucumber that I’m still getting in my CSA! Continue reading →

Herb Cherry Tomato Pizza Welcome back for another recipe, friends! I haven’t posted in a while because I have been busy with a new job!

During this busy time in my life, simple recipes have been a must. This herbed cherry tomato pizza recipe has been great because I always have pizza crust ingredients on hand, and I am getting tons of cherry tomatoes in my CSA! Continue reading →
