Does anybody else out there worship and rely on sandwiches the way I do? Sandwiches are much like salads and soups, in that you can be as creative as you wish, and it’s going to work out . (Sometimes magically.) Whether it’s an oeey-gooey grilled cheese (dipped in tomato soup—it’s required!), a classic BLT, chicken…

Roasted Buttercup Squash with Cinnamon-Spiced Millet
Whoa, there—could I really be posting a recipe? Could this actually be a food-centered post on what I tend to label as a food blog? By golly, it is! Although this fall-inspired dish is sinfully simple, it is, in fact, a legitimate recipe. Inspired by Gena’s roasted acorn squash with cinnamon-scented quinoa, this nutritious meal…
WIAW: Nectarine, Goat Cheese, and Honey-Cinnamon Roasted Chickpea Salad
Happy, happy hump day! Since I didn’t photograph many of my meals this week (and don’t want to bore you to death), I’m sharing a simple-but-satisfying recipe that takes advantage of the remnants of summer produce. The idea came to me as I discovered a single nectarine and half a package of goat cheese in…
Cream of Mushroom Soup
Mushrooms are another one of those foods I avoided like the plague for most of my life. Though the idea of eating a fungus still creeps me out a bit, I’ve grown to love mushrooms of all varieties, in all types of dishes. I love a good steak on occasion (filet, usually), but I equally…
Nobody Said It Was Pretty: Almond-Joy “Chocomole”
I know what you’re thinking, so let me just say it: chocolate pudding isn’t attractive in photographs. But, you know what? It’s delicious, so I don’t care. This is only the second time I’ve whipped up a batch of “chocomole,” but I just have a feeling that it will make many appearances in the future….
Easy Weeknight Dinner: Veggie & Herb Frittata
I don’t know if it’s because yesterday was National Egg Day (I’m always late on these things—but maybe my subconscious wasn’t), but I’ve been seriously craving eggs since the weekend. What I really wanted was a drippy, yolky egg, but a frittata for dinner was the next best thing. Made from whatever vegetables and herbs…
Green Eats #2: Spinach and Sweet Pea Manicotti
Making pasta can be a simple and sneaky way to add vegetables to your diet—and I’m not just talking about a hearty marinara. Stuffed pasta is often decadent with its various meaty and cheesy fillings, but this delightful green manicotti stuffing is the perfect balance between indulgent and nutritious. Though Giada’s version is topped with…
Farro with Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Carrots, and Onion
After last week’s lackluster meals, which came together from anything we could find in the freezer, pantry, or refrigerator, we spent the weekend meal planning and grocery shopping. Tonight’s dinner is a marriage between one of the greatest, most under-rated (in the non-food blogging world, at least) vegetables, brussels sprouts, and my newest culinary obsession, farro. Farro…
10 Tried and True Vegetarian Meals for Lent
Though I’m not Catholic, I did attend a Catholic college and usually make some sort of sacrifice during Lent. Last year, we gave up alcohol during the week. Though we don’t drink a lot, we do often enjoy a beer or glass of wine with dinner. That honestly wasn’t too difficult, and we avoided consuming…
Crockpot Challenge #3: Butternut Squash Soup
This past Wednesday, we chose to utilize the slow cooker once again. I’m beginning to appreciate the versatility of this one pot wonder! Our onion soup and pulled pork turned out beautifully, so I was excited to see if our success would continue with one of my favorites, butternut squash soup. Tuesday night, we prepped…
