This sheet pan teriyaki tofu is one of those simple, adaptable recipes that’ll definitely be on repeat in my house. I’m always talking about the benefits of soy foods, it’s a great plant-based protein. There is some research indicating that soy foods may decrease risk of lung cancer in non-smokers, decrease risk of prostate cancer,Read more
Donburi is a Japanese dish that we ate often when growing up. While donburi is really a category of dishes, meaning served over rice (gyudon with beef, oyakodon with chicken and egg); growing up Mom would always make it with ground beef, vegetables and egg. For more traditional recipes, I love Just One Cookbook. I’mRead more
I’ve been enjoying having some soups tucked away in the freezer. They’ve been great for a quick meal when I don’t feel like cooking. This is a great soup that I was able to make with some leftover ham I had in the freezer. If you don’t have leftover you can buy some smaller hamRead more
Soup season is here! This Slow Cooker Moroccan Lentil Soup is a great one for the repertoire. The flavors are deep and rich, and it’s super filling. This makes a huge portion, so it’s great to freeze, share with others, or plan on eating all week long. A slow cooker makes this super easy, butRead more
Husband isn’t much of a soup person, but I’ve apparently knocked it out of the park and have created 2 soups he loves this month! I’ve made variations of this soup, but apparently never blogged about it. Sausage is a super flavorful option and soup is a great way to use up vegetables that mayRead more
If you’ve still got some of the last tomatoes of the summer lingering, this is the perfect tomato soup for you. Husband (who is not a soup person) says this Roasted Tomato Soup is one of the best soups he’s ever had. Roasting the vegetables intensifies the flavor and makes this soup very easy andRead more
I don’t frequently cook with eggplant since it has always felt a little finicky to me. While I love this Roasted Eggplant and Smoked Almonds Salad, I’ve been looking for some other ideas for cooking eggplant. Mom suggested this recipe and it is such a winner. This Baked Orzo with Eggplant is a great vegetarianRead more
I adapted these Thai turkey meatballs from a burger recipe and turned them into a delicious bowl. Bowls are a great meal option, they’re easily adjusted based on meal preferences, so I can load up on vegetables and Husband can have as much starch as he needs and everyone’s happy. Meatballs are a great optionRead more
This is one of Mom’s masterful creations. She has the magic touch when it comes to making the best soups and stews. So mom generously wrote out all the ingredients so I could make this, and it’s just as delicious as I remember it. Stews are a great way to use up what’s in theRead more
I think this is the first time I’ve cooked collard greens before. They work wonderfully in this African Peanut Stew; they hold up well, add a subtle earthiness, and a great texture to this creamy stew. Collard greens tend to be inexpensive compared to other greens, but kale, swiss chard, or other greens would workRead more
