I have been sitting on this recipe for WAY too long. Occasionally I make a recipe that I am super excited about, only for it to somehow sit in my queue for months on end. Which is exactly what happened with this one…

Eggplant and Quinoa Indian Fare with Naan Bread
Sometimes food just isn’t pretty.
And I think it’s fair to say that this Eggplant Quinoa Indian Fare falls into that not so pretty category. But, I’m okay with that…
Asian Fried Farro with Roasted Eggplant
I LOVE Fall, but what I don’t love? It gets dark so early! And the getting dark earlier makes several things a little more difficult {as I’m sure it does for everyone!}, but what I really hate is my loss of natural light to cook and photograph through the week. I typically leave work between 5:30 and 6, then get home around 6:15-6:30 {at best}, and what time has the sun been setting…6:50! I am literally racing the sun, and I continue to come up short.
Roasted BBQ Veggie and Avocado Sandwich
So many things I want to share in this post, including an update on our week in Disney World. This place is like it’s own little city – and these trackers Magic Bands… part genius/amazing, and part creepy! I can’t say Disney would be my choice of places to vacation, but it’s been a wonderful week and I’ve enjoyed a lot of rest and down time while Josh worked the Experience Conference {why we’re here!}, and after Saturday, we can officially say we’ve done the Disney Experience…
Vegetarian Quinoa Meatballs + Gluten Free
vegetarian-meatballs-with-patty-pan-pasta4Let’s talk meatballs.
I’ve never really been much of a fan. Red meat, in general, isn’t something I crave or have to have. I do eat it occasionally, and even have a fabulous Grass Fed/No Hormones/No Antibiotics Beef Supplier, my father-in-law!…
Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Okra – Cleaning out the fridge!
What’s the old saying, “everything but the kitchen sink?” That sorta describes these stuffed sweet potatoes. I picked up my new CSA this week and in order to make room in the fridge, I wanted to finish up my remaining veggies from last week’s CSA. SO, out came the last eggplant, couple ears of corn and okra…
Eggplant, Sausage and Flax Frittata
I think one of my favorites things about my organic CSA…aside from the fact that it is local, organic, in season, flavorful, fresh out of the ground AND affordable, is that I am challenged to make dishes using whatever is in the box that week. I’ve had a lot of eggplant recently, and if you read my post Quinoa and Veggie Stuffed Eggplant then you know that I’m fairly new to cooking and eating Eggplant…
Low Carb Cauliflower Pizza Crust with Sweet Potatoes
Who knew cauliflower was so versatile? From cauliflower pizza crust to cauliflower Alfredo sauce to cauliflower steak, the options seem to be endless! I first came across a low carb cauliflower pizza crust similar to this one a few years ago when looking for a healthier pizza option. I’ve made it several times over the years and Josh and I both really like it…
Quinoa and Veggie Stuffed Eggplant
I’ve always been a bit intimidated by eggplant. There’s really no reason for this intimidation, it’s just there. My first experience with it was years ago when my sister Jana was nine months pregnant and ready for my little niece to make her appearance. In our efforts to see if there was something she could do or eat to help move the labor along, we read about eggplant parmesan, and the suggestion that it could help induce labor. So we thought, why not? Sounded better than drinking castor oil…
