I made these enchiladas for Tuesday’s SCL dinner. They’re a great vegetarian option, with a delicious creamy, slightly sweet flavor to the filling. I used mild salsa and enchilada sauce, but I think they’d be great with a spicier sauce since the sweet potato would help soothe the heat. It’s definitely a flexible recipe, soRead more

This salad might sound a little strange or off-putting, but give it a try. I was skeptical at first, but now I can’t get enough of it. It’s a bright, summery flavor that’s perfect for the coming spring and summer weather. You can use whatever kind of mangoes are convenient for you. I like champagneRead more
Despite the weather not cooperating, some friends came over yesterday and we had a (indoor) BBQ. Moving indoors was really fine by me…my grilling skills have yet to be discovered, and these tender and delicious veggie burgers hold up better on a flat skillet. These definitely aren’t trying to be regular hamburgers, but I thinkRead more
I spent all day yesterday making Carrot Herb Rolls for SCL. I think they’re fantastic. Totally worth all the time it took! I’ll post that recipe (and the other recipes from tonight’s SCL dinner) soon, but in the meantime here’s one of my favorite snacks! I’m a big fan of pumpkin. I’ve also totally takenRead more
