Hello! Something you all probably don’t know about me is that long ago I was a vegetarian….FOR 3 YEARS! Crazy, right?!
Vegetarian Spicy Black Bean Burger recipe
You remember this dish… from every church pot luck, community cookbook, and Gramma’s table. Yes, THAT broccoli- rice casserole. Bubbly, cheesy, rich, and so very good. Old-fashioned comfort food, personified. Since I love using quinoa in everything calling for rice (less starchy, more protein) I thought I’d give it a try in this one. And it worked just as well.

Veggie Burgers
Risotto is the first recipe that I ever mastered. To this day, I count this among my favorite comfort food, downing giant bowls whenever the opportunity arises. The classic recipe is made with white wine, but the substitution of a citrusy, medium-bodied craft beer only adds to the profile of flavors.
Craft Ale Risotto - The Beeroness
An all Mediterranean tart – an image of hummus, vegetables grilled with garlic oil & herbs on a olive oil flaky crust has been brewing in my head for a quite some time now. This is what spring time is about! Light flavorful and colorful meals and a lot of time outdoors with children and the trees. The spring tidings also chirped in lovely Jeanne’s Topless Tart Alert for Meeta’s Monthly Mingle .

Sweet potato veggie burgers
I could’t wait to make these after seeing this recipe. I made a few alterations based on the ingredients I had (or rather, didn’t have) in my kitchen. I ended up making them with tofu instead of beans which worked out great.Crave a veggie burger. One with Panko-crusted edges - infused with tender sweet potato and creamy, rustic white beans. Tall stacked on a toasted grain bun - crisp romaine leaves sprawling out the sides. Lime green avocado. Dijon.

No Noodles About It – The Best Low Carb Lasagna!
I love the taste of lasagna, however the heavy amount of “starchy carbs” and greasy cheese often leaves me with a ‘weighed down/sluggish’ feeling. I created this veggie-filled variation that has all the wonderful textures and flavors of traditional lasagna, without the ‘heavy’ after-effects! I started by cutting my zucchini for the ‘noodles’…and like everything else I cook/bake, I just made it up as I went along with what I had in the house! <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>Italian-Style Stuffed Red Peppers
I love the taste of marinara and spaghetti sauce! The only problem is, most ‘foods’ that use a delicious red sauce are heavy pasta dishes. I decided to change that recently, when I made my favorite ‘turkey meat sauce’, by stuffing it in a red pepper, which I had a feeling would pair well with the tomatoes in the sauce. These stuffed red peppers turned out even better than I had imagined~ and they ended up being my lunch for the next three days in a row! I couldn’t get enough of this filling and satisfying dish, and I was thrilled at how easy it was to prepare, (not to mention I had lunch ready for the next three days!)Thanksgivin'
