In the grand scheme of vegetarian meals, I don’t think one can ever have too many recipes for veggie burgers, cakes, and/or patties. Really, they are all similar but each can have it’s own role. Ever since I stumbled upon this recipe on Sprouted Kitchen, it’s become a staple in many, many forms as a…
Arugula
Freekeh Salad with Sweet Corn and Arugula
In the past few weeks, my lunch routine has revolved around salads of all kinds. It’s usually a catch-all for whatever I have floating in the refrigerator. Leftover grilled vegetables, cheeses, cooked grains, and nuts are usually my go-to salad toppings. This freekeh salad is the culmination of weeks of salads. For those unfamiliar with…
Arugula Lentil Salad
I get in food ruts fairly easily, particularly with items we make day in and day out. Our evening dinner salads are often a simple dressed lettuce and whatever vegetables we may have on hand. My lunch salads are often heartier and more often then not contain chickpeas or black beans. Lentils are usually the…
Warm Potato Arugula Salad
I wish I had lovely things to tell you about this arugula salad but at this point in time, my brain is filled with projects I need to complete in the next few weeks, recipes I want to make sure I have done so that the blog doesn’t sit empty for the months after the…
Olive Tapenade and Hummus Stuffed Pita
Some time ago, I did a brief reader questionnaire about what you guys might like to see more of and the answer was pretty much: everything! (as long as it’s not overly complicated.) I try hard to share easy (easier) recipes but I think one area I lack is in the lunch department. Even when I…
Arugula and Radish Salad (a New Year to #eatnaturally)
Here we are, yet another start to a new year. It’s the time where I stop thinking about what has happened and focus on the potentials of the new year. For the most part, it can be an ever optimistic time but I think it’s easy to over promise and under deliver. There is so…
Curried Acorn Squash with Lemon-Arugula Salad
Without realizing it until the past couple of days, I’ve had another craving that’s popped up on the blog over the past few months: arugula. For whatever reason, this slightly spicy green has slowly replaced lettuce in my salads and become my go-to green. The first time I tried arugula from the CSA, I remember…
Winter Persimmon Salad
I feel like I should be posting photos of holiday cookies and preparing for the big Christmas meal but the truth is, I’ve not been feeling it. I tried to convince myself to make cookies last weekend and I got as far as realizing my butter supply was less than stellar, so I quit. I then…
White Bean and Butternut Squash Salad
In the past month or so, I’ve had a pretty major realization: being busy sucks. I’m not talking about the busy, but good. I’m referring to the ‘so busy you can’t keep up and you’re juggling 10 different projects at once’ type of busy. It’s a busy that I used to take great pride in…
Roasted Butternut Squash, Quinoa, and Arugula Salad
It’s meals like this that become comfort food for me. A slightly warm arugula salad with a mix of flavors that feels these like salad and more like a hearty meal. The feta softens and the pecans add a bit of crunch (without adding the traditional crouton). This is my perfect salad.
Arugula Salad with Roasted Potato and Endives
This may sound strange, but fall is all about salads for me, especially arugula salads. I love coming up with salads that look they belong on a harvest table, surrounded by friends and family. As the summer produce is on it’s way out, greens are on their way in. This endive + arugula salad combination…
Beet, Avocado, and Arugula Salad
As of late, M and I have been under deadline for a few items. I love working for myself but often it means juggling five different projects that occasionally all have the same Friday deadline. It keeps me busy but I’m not always the best about eating. For dinner the other night I had goat…
Twice Baked Blue Cheese and Quinoa Sweet Potato with Maple-Mustard Arugula Salad
Prepare yourselves, I’ve hit sweet potato season with a bang. I’m a big potato fan in general but I’m always looking for ways to make a potato a meal. You may be thinking, “salad? on top of a sweet potato?” but I assure you, it’s awesome (if warm salads are your thing). Take this idea…
Roasted Pumpkin Frittata with Goat Cheese and Arugula Salad
The beginning of the year is a great time to start fresh, especially with eating (even though I’d much prefer to start fresh with summer produce, winter produce will do). I always feel sluggish after the holidays. The heavy meals coupled with going out to eat with friends and family that are home always leave…
