Two for two!
These BBQ Lentil Meatballs are the second vegetarian meatball recipe I’ve made here, and I’m am over-the-moon with the outcome of both! You may remember the Vegetarian Quinoa Meatballs I posted back in November, they were full of fresh herbs, eggplant, parmesan, all ingredients that gave them an immense flavor that paired perfectly with a red sauce pasta sauce…
Before I get to this tasty Lemon Ginger Asparagus topped with Toasted Coconut, let me give you a brief update on what we’ve been up to!
Last week was full of lots of hard work {mostly on Josh’s part!} to make a few changes around the site and I am thrilled with the outcome! Josh has done a wonderful job redesigning the home page to incorporate a few new features, including the slider at the top and a “Popular Posts” column on the right…
As of Wednesday, Lemons and Basil is officially six months old! At times it feels as though it’s been much longer and others it feels as though I’ve just began. I can honestly say it’s been much-needed sense of distraction and comfort these past six months. I shared some personal things my family is facing in my last post, Vegetarian Spaghetti Squash Tacos, which explains a bit more the need for comfort this blog, and you, have provided…
I should forewarn you that this is a very long post, but if you have a minute, I’d like to share with you our story and the battle we are facing with my mom’s health.
Let me start by saying that I’ve come to believe we were all created with this deep desire to know people and be known. I believe there is an innate longing in all of us to feel really known by other human beings, and more importantly, to feel loved and accepted for who we are…
Happy Valentine’s Day!
This week has flown by! I think being sick does that to you, time disappears and consequently, I feel behind on just about everything! I came down with some sort of awful sinus congestion/head cold thing last Saturday and it got progressively worse until I found myself curled up in bed Monday evening with a pounding headache…
I think I’ve trained my taste buds over time to love most healthy foods. Not all of them, but a lot of them. So sometimes I’m a little hesitant to rave about something I’ve made and love myself, in fear that those who maybe are not accustom to eating healthier meals, may be disappointed or turn up their noses at the typical things you’ll find here on Lemons and Basil…
Is it ironic that as I write about these energy bars, I’m yawning?
If only I had some left, I might have more energy. They didn’t last long. Not only did I wolf them down at every opportunity…but because I thought they were so good, I shoved them at anyone I could, insisting they had to try them…
I don’t know about you, but Sunday night’s Super Bowl felt like there was a whole lot of build up for a whole lot of nothing… except maybe embarrassment. I mean really, 43-8?? I had such high hopes for you, Denver.
And the commercials? Maybe I just didn’t pay attention as closely as I should have, but the only commercial I remember really liking was the Puppy Love commercial with the Clydesdale horse and the cute puppy. So sweet!…
