This is quinoa and sauteed kale in a sauce made from red peppers, onions and tahini. I initially made this to stuff into portobello mushroom caps, but this stuff was so stuffin’ good that we’re going to focus more on the stuffing instead of what was stuffed. Stuff this into mushrooms if you like, but you could …

Taco salad for breakfast yesterday, eggs for dinner today. Dinner for breakfast, breakfast for dinner. Someone must have set the clocks ahead 12 hours. Tonight was a crustless quiche with spinach, mushrooms, red pepper and onions. Crustless quiche means no grains or refined carbohydrates, it saves you on calories too. I was pretty strict with my grain …

It’s homemade pizza night! Wait, scratch that. It’s EASY homemade pizza night. A couple packages of Naan (Indian flat bread) for some fast, deliciously soft pizza crusts, veggie toppings, tomato sauce, shredded mozzerella cheese, and a glass of Cabernet in the corner up there. (For me, not for the pizza.) Pasta sauce, pizza sauce. Tomato, …

Today’s greens were just the same-old same-old roasted Brussels sprouts (paired with roasted sweet potatoes, my winter vegetable obsession). What I really want to tell you about is this shredded pork roast I’ve been making and really enjoying. It’s super easy – but more importantly, it’s super good. I didn’t really learn to cook until …

Tonight’s speedy, kick ass dinner was inspired by the Winter 2013 edition of Menu magazine. Namely, Roasted Dashi Eggplant, Dashi Mushrooms and Baby Bok Choy with Garlic Sauce. Except I went all Three Muskateers on those recipes and tweaked them to make one vegtabulous dinner. This came together very quickly, which was especially helpful as …

I get these “Your Pregnancy This Week” emails that list a myriad of facts and tidbits about the wee babe growing inside my uterus, along with any other timely pregnancy notes. You know, like “you’re probably busting out of your bra by now” or “your baby is the size of a tarantula”. Stuff like that. …

Let’s say you laid down on the couch this afternoon, kids busy and frolicking to and fro, and you decide to close your eyes for “just a minute”. Then let’s say you woke up some unknown amount of time later, living room dark, kids off entertaining themselves some place else, and suddenly you realize you’ve …

It was a dark and stormy night. Actually, it was just a cold and gloomy Friday morning. And I was in the mood to cook. I was also in the mood to shake things up! I went googling my way around the world wide web in search of something outlandish to do with a bag …
