Sweet Potato and Mushroom Hash
This Sweet Potato and Mushroom Hash recipe came about when I was in need of something to go with my breakfast-for-dinner Savory Whole Wheat Waffles Topped with Fried Eggs. I felt like I needed to add some more veg to the meal. And when the chill in the air makes its way into my home,…
Thai Quinoa Cabbage Rolls (Vegetarian)
I somehow ended up with 3 heads of cabbage in my fridge. Not my fault. I like cabbage just as much as the next person, but I don’t have a ton of go-to cabbaged based recipes. I mean, I have a few, but not enough for 3 heads of it! But I have never let…

Kale Pesto
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! After eating way to much and a few days of left over pie for breakfast, I’m ready to get back to some healthy food! At least for a short time before Christmas goodies become too abundant. I am a huge fan of pesto sauce. All summer long,…
Vegetarian Thanksgiving: Parmesan Potato Tian with Red Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes
When people ask if I am a vegetarian, I usually respond with “yes….mostly.” Its just easier to say that I am a vegetarian, but in all reality I’m not. True, I don’t cook with meat hardly ever and I don’t really order it at restaurants. But there are the rare occasions where I do…
Savory Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Mushrooms
Did you all see my Italian Stuffed Acorn Squash recipe a few posts ago? Do you remember how I talked about always having a random squash or gourd of some sort sitting on my counter in the fall and never getting around to baking it? Well, folks, the problem has escalated! I thought I was…
