I think I’ve mentioned it before but that won’t stop me from saying it again, “I love fries”. Love em’!
What’s not to love? Seriously, you tell me because I can’t think of one thing.
I also love sweet potatoes (what can I say, I just love food)… so needless to say, these fries really do it for me; they’re the best of both worlds.
Warm Lentil Salad Speckled W/ Kale and Pomegranate Seeds
I believe that everything in life happens for a reason.
I have been wanting to share this Warm Lentil Salad with you guys for years (no exaggeration). It’s a recipe that I learned when I attended The New School of Cooking over 5 years ago it’s been one of my ‘no-fail-go-to-salads’ ever since.
But for whatever reason, it just never made it to the blog, and now I know why…
Kitchen Basics: Home-Made Veggie Stock
If you’ve never attempted to make your own veggie broth I hope to use this as an opportunity to convince you to give it a try.
Once you make (and taste) your own stock, you will wonder how you could have ever settled for it’s store bought counter part. Especially once you see how it EASY it is!
Now don’t get me wrong…
Patty Pan Squash Kissed W/ Garlic and Dill
If there is one promise I can give you in the kitchen it’s this; If you work with fresh, seasonal, local ingredients it takes very little effort to create extremely flavorful food. So if time is an issue for you, this may be a road to travel more often.
Take these cute little Patty Pans for instance…
Raw Corn and Avocado Salad
Did you know that you can eat raw corn?
It’s true, raw corn is sweet and crisp and makes for a fresh and delish Summer salad. The key to raw corn is this…
Simple Summer Raw Tomato Sauce (over Spaghetti Squash)
While 80 degrees has been the SoCal high this past weekend I KNOW that many of you have been dealing with temperatures much hotter!
I also know that no one wants to deal with hot ovens or grills when it’s so hot outside which is exactly why this recipe should have you smiling at your computer right now!
Vegetarian Springtime Pesto Bowl
There are many-a-meals made in my home that never make it to the blog.
Often times it’s because I don’t have the time, desire, or patience to get a decent picture of the food (and I am a-gotta-see-it-to-wanna-eat-it-kinda-girl) but most of the time it’s because a lot of what we eat around here doesn’t seem to fit into “recipe-format”.
Take this Vegetarian Springtime Pesto Bowl as an example…
Fennel, Parsley, and Radicchio Salad w/ A Citrus Vinaigrette
When I was growing up the definition of salad was iceberg lettuce with tomatoes and cucumbers and if we were being really fancy we might even throw in some mushrooms and black olives.
I have a hunch that my family wasn’t the only one out there stuck in a salad rut. How many of you guys buy the same old lettuce and veggies to make your salads?
C’mon, fess up…
Simply Steamed Beets & A Brand New Look
A simple new recipe and a brand new look (and url)!
Which shall I talk about first? Let’s start with the look…
Lentil Veggie Soup w/ Collards
Other than being absolutely delicious, lentils offer a ton of nutritional benefits including lots of fiber, plenty of protein, and a good dose of folic acid (making them a great choice for us pregnant mamas).
This Lentil Veggie Soup w/ Collards recipe is one of the simplest, most flavorful lentil soups you can make and it is packed with flavor!
