We bought a bunch of big, beautiful zucchini and summer squash the other day on the way home from the beach. We didn’t really have a plan for them, but I stumbled upon this simple recipe for savory zucchini cakes. I liked that the ingredient list is short and it comes together really quickly. I’llRead more
I enjoy experimenting with new black bean burger recipes. There are so many tasty combinations out there that I can’t commit to just one recipe. This recipe caught my eye because of the corn! Sweet corn + spicy + smokey cumin + creamy savory black beans = yum! I definitely enjoyed all the flavorsRead more
So a galette is really just a free-form pie with the edges folded partially over the pie filling. They’re casual enough to make for yourself for lunch, but impressive enough to make for company. The crust on this is made lighter with olive oil instead of butter and is a light and flakey crust. IRead more
For Tuesday’s dinner I decided to try making vegetarian Sloppy Joes. This was pretty challenging to get the right flavor without the flavor that the meat usually brings to the dish. But I think I created something pretty close. Sloppy Veggie Joes Serves 15-20 Adapted from Rachael Ray 1 Tbsp olive oil 3 bell peppers,Read more
This is probably the recipe I’m asked for the most. It’s absolutely delicious and I don’t think I’ve ever made a different kind of chili. Hard-core carnivores love this too. I originally got this from Chris, Sister’s boyfriend, and I think he adapted it from a Moosewood cookbook. Chili is super adaptable, so taste asRead more
Mom and I made this for lunch the other day at the spur of the moment. I saw a recipe for stuffed shells with kale and thought we could mix something up for stuffed peppers. Dishes like this are a great way of using up some of the things you have in the fridge thatRead more
After the success of Sandra’s Tomato, Basil, Mozzarella salad during our catering event, I decided to do a similar salad for the Seekers luncheon. I wanted to have a pasta salad, so to bulk up the traditional TBM I added whole wheat rotini and pesto. These flavors are just great for the summer, it’s aRead more
This is a great easy salad. I decided to leave out the suggested feta from the original recipe, but I think that would be a wonderful flavor addition, or goat cheese! This also makes a huge quantity (and is easy to make more or less of), so it’s great for potlucks or parties. Roasted GreenRead more
Sunday we had offered a lunch after church as a way for people to hang out and chat for a longer time than our usual coffee hour. We had a birthday theme since we’re at the halfway point and can celebrate all the birthdays that have come and all the upcoming ones. For the eventRead more
Sorry for being so slow getting last Tuesday’s recipes posted! It’s been a crazy week! I unexpectedly had to go in for a physical to make sure I’m in good health to donate bone morrow through DKMS Americas. Then I worked with my friend, Sandra to do a big catering job. So for three daysRead more
