Spring is a wonderful time to simplify- to throw open the windows, linger a bit longer outside (enjoying the sun), and go back to the basics of cooking. I think it’s easy to get overwhelmed when it comes to recipes. I see some recipes on Pinterest and I can’t help but think how long the…

Roasted Garlic Tomato Soup
Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall…
Black Bean Burrito with Guacamole
My love of rice, beans, and guacamole shoved into a burrito.

Roasted Potato Pizza with Goat Cheese
Recipe originally posted on August 20th, 2012. Last updated on September 13th, 2015. Sometimes I have huge failures in the kitchen. There are times when flavorings are off, things don’t cook right, or the whole thing just seems kind of blah. These are the many (and I do mean many) meals that don’t make it…
Garlic Soba and Zucchini Noodles
A couple weeks ago, I made M a “meat and potatoes” dinner. The chicken was stuffed with chives and cream cheese and the red potatoes were wonderfully roasted with a myriad of herbs. I thought he would be excited because I rarely (in fact, this may have been the first) make him a so-called “meat…
Mediterranean Einkorn Pasta
It’s Sunday which means sharing another cookbook that I’ve had the pleasure of cooking from quite few times (and a cookbook from a couple that I’ve been lucky to hang out with in person.) I’ve known Tim and Shanna (Food Loves Writing) for a few years now and I always make time to read their…
Spicy Lentil Vegan Sloppy Joes
If you’ve followed this site for some time, you might have noticed that I love comfort food and have turned numerous meat dishes into my favorite vegetarian dishes. These comfort foods are the ones I grew up on and the meals M still occasionally request. It’s always fun to try and recreate favorites from childhood….
Garlic Spinach, Millet, and Eggs
Over the next few months, I’m going to push more towards simple recipes that are made with 1-2 seasonal items and using my pantry as a guide for inspiration. I’ve spent a lot of time building sections for using bulk bins and seasonal produce (both still continuing to get updates) and I’m hoping to share…
Roasted Brussel Sprout and Millet Gratin
There is a particular feeling of being on a roller coaster, on the first ascent. That feeling of you know what’s coming and your nerves start to kick in. You start questioning why the hell you got on the ride in the first place, why your friends think it’s cool to watch you squirm, and…
Roasted Garlic Sweet Potatoes with a Poached Egg
I love meals that feel hearty without being overly complicated or have too many ingredients. There are times that I’ll shy away from a recipe if I glance at it and the list of ingredients and steps to produce seem like the recipes is complicated (a bad habit because I’ve skipped recipes before that someone…
Garlic-Butter Pasta with Spinach and Parmesan
I had a whole post in my head, ready to type out during my layover in Denver this afternoon. Then I got sick, like, forced to go to urgent car and told than I shouldn’t fly for 3-4 days. Other than not feeling 100%, I’m glad to spend the extra time with M. I’ll take…
Garlicky Greens and Goat Cheese Omelette
I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited for a Monday. Classes and finals are done, I’m just working my way through a pile of grading and by this time tomorrow, I’ll be on a plane, heading out to California. Honestly, I could be heading anywhere, I’m really excited to see M. It’s hard to…
Honey-Jalapeño Roasted Acorn Squash
I may have jumped the gun a bit on this one but I get super excited for fall. I am ready for the crisp, cool nights, the apples and sweet potatoes, and the cozy blankets with camp fires. This girl loves fall (so much so, we picked a wedding date a year from this October)!…
