Yet another, what do I have in the pantry/fridge that can be made into a meal?, recipe. We have been loving Earth Fare’s chiptotle barbecue sauce lately – it is sweet and surprisingly warm. This combined with onion, mushrooms, and tempeh made for a perfect fast and filling pizza. Simply use the BBQ sauce inContinue reading “BBQ Tempeh Pizza”

Jicama w/ Lime & Chili Dip
Meet jicama. I have been loving this snack combination all week. A crisp snacking tuber is paired with a creamy, tart, and peppery dip – it’s the perfect party duo, after school snack, or mid-morning work munchie. This tasty tuber is also known as a Mexican potato. Jicama has an interesting texture – crisp likeContinue reading “Jicama w/ Lime & Chili Dip”
Curried Macaroni & Cheese
This idea was born out of a conversation with Eric and a coworker during a conversation around the microwave at work at lunch (yes, I work with my husband, yes, I actually love it). Eric was heating up macaroni & cheese when the colleague walked into the mail room. The conversation went something along theseContinue reading “Curried Macaroni & Cheese”
Sweet Potato Wedges
Ok, I know that I once said it was too easy not to buy the frozen sweet potato fries. Well, I was wrong. I have found that I am too cheap to keep buying those frozen delights, but since they do make any meal fantastic, and toddlers love anything that resembles a fry, I foundContinue reading “Sweet Potato Wedges”
Dreaming of Key West + Lemon Garlic Roasted Carrots
Key West, Florida is a family favorite locale. My parents and sister have been there more frequently than Eric and I – we have only been twice now. I know, the shame! Poor Greta has yet to experience Key West. I have been daydreaming of spring break trips this year, as we are not likelyContinue reading “Dreaming of Key West + Lemon Garlic Roasted Carrots”
Tofu Hot Soup
If you are struggling to stay healthy, struggling to work vegetables into your diet, struggling to make it through to spring – I have a soup recipe just for you. This hit the spot for us this week, and I will tell you it was 100 times better the following day as a leftover. IContinue reading “Tofu Hot Soup”
Broiled Grapefruit + Chocolate Ice Cream
I wish I could come home to this as a snack every day after work. It would be such a nice way to enjoy my afternoon. Though, I know I would have some problems getting Greta to eat a healthier dinner with me chowing down on this dessert. How many other moms out there areContinue reading “Broiled Grapefruit + Chocolate Ice Cream”
Roasted Red Cabbage
I have been seeing roast cabbage everywhere, it seems. I think I have a Pinterest buddy who wants to make roast cabbage and it has rubbed off on me now. I threw this together for dinner the other night, using items in the pantry. This is an example of how I cook – with littleContinue reading “Roasted Red Cabbage”
Curried Kale & Cauliflower Shepherd’s Pie
In honor of the third season of Downton Abbey beginning, I decided to throw in some British inspired fare this weekend. Even though I scored an Isobel Crawley in the Which Downton Abbey Job is Right for You? Quiz, I am a fan of the downstairs crew, so I started with a dish that wouldContinue reading “Curried Kale & Cauliflower Shepherd’s Pie”
Iowa New Year’s Eve + Curried Pea & Potato Croquettes
The Christmas trip to Iowa wound down too soon this year. We did make time to take a trip to the Science Center of Iowa in Des Moines, with Greta, Eric, and my in-laws. She was mesmerized by this spiral ball contraption. Her newest word is, “ball!” She wasn’t as into the fishing,Continue reading “Iowa New Year’s Eve + Curried Pea & Potato Croquettes”
