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.

Summer Squash and Farro Veggie Bowl

You may not have realized I’ve been a bit MIA, but I HAVE and I’ve missed you! For the first time since I started blogging a year ago, I not only didn’t post twice last week, I didn’t even post once! The decision didn’t come easy, but the time simply wasn’t there. The realization finally set in that I can’t do everything I want to do, and that’s okay. I have to prioritize and make choices. Part of being an adult, right?!…

Kale and Quinoa Veggie Bowl with Soft Boiled Egg

To so many of you, thank you for your prayers for my mom and your kind and encouraging words regarding the blog. There was a time when I didn’t understand what a “blog” was, or why one would write one. But aside from the wealth of information people share through blogs, whether the subject appeals to a wide audience or is tailored to a more unique niche, it’s not only amazing, but also beautiful the way they allow people all over the states and even world, to identify with one another…

Zucchini Fritters with Poached Eggs

Disclaimer: I was so enchanted by these Zucchini Fritters with Poached Eggs, I’m afraid they’ve demanded somewhat of a picture-happy post, so be prepared! But who could blame me?? I mean, zucchini combined with red peppers, sweet onions, flax seed, cashew meal, and feta, baked to a crispy perfection, then topped with honey lime chipotle sauce and a poached egg with its glorious runny yolk…

Spiced Sweet Potatoes Ultimate Tostada

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

As promised, here is the full recipe for these Spiced Sweet Potatoes {Savory Waffle} Ultimate Tostadas! This is a continuation to Friday’s post, where I shared the recipe for these Gluten Free Savory Cornbread Waffles. I mentioned last week that while we were in Seattle last year we ate at Nero Belgian Waffle Bar {so good}, which largely contributed to the inspired behind these savory waffles. However, the other inspiration came when contemplating an alternative base for a scrumptious tostada outside of the typical corn tortilla…

Avocado Deviled Eggs with Smoked Paprika

I am no expert eggs-pert {yes, I just did that… tried to type egg expert and heard the play on words in my head and couldn’t resist!} when it comes to deviled eggs. In fact, before making these lovely little green Avocado Deviled Eggs, I had never actually made them. Gasp, I know! Somehow over the years, when it came to family get-togethers and meals, I typically either volunteered or got volunteered for salad or dessert, and occasionally bread. Probably because {A.} I really love salad and tend to eat a lot of it, and {B.} love sweets and enjoy trying out new and different recipes…

Green Power Salad with Roasted Veggies + Mom Update

Have you tried the Balsamic Almond and Turmeric Dressing yet?!? If not, here is the perfect Green Power Salad to put with it! If you didn’t get a chance to read my last post, then let me quickly fill you in. I started out making this salad last Sunday, intending on mixing in all my favorites while attempting a new homemade dressing to go with it. However, the dressing took over, stole the show and got a post of its own! So now, as promised, I have the scoop on the salad that left my tummy happy and full, yet wanting more!…

Avocado Chocolate Chip Cookies

I had read about the fudginess of avocado cookies, but some things you just have to experience for yourself. These Avocado Chocolate Chips Cookies are not only festive for Saint Patrick’s Day, but they are unbelievable tasty! Like don’t-tell-your-family-they’re-ready-and-pour-a-big-glass-of-milk-and-EAT kind of good!…

Chilaquiles with Chipotle Adobe Pepper and Avocado

After making these Chilaquiles with Chipotle Adobe Pepper and Avocado, I learned, if you’re looking for a way to track your favorite foods and see what you are naturally drawn to…start a food blog.

I never realized just how much I love Mexican inspired foods, or sweet potatoes, avocados, and chocolate. Okay, maybe I knew the chocolate. But when you see these same ingredients show up post after post you begin to realize you’re (I’M) maybe not as diversified as you’d (I’D) like to think…

BBQ Lentil Meatballs with Feta Cheese

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…

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…

Easy Breakfast Burritos (for dinner!)

There is absolutely nothing new, great or overly creative about these Easy Breakfast Burritos. But not all meals need to be new, great, or overly creative, right? Sometimes meals just need to be a little hearty, a little comforting, and a lot of tasty. And that is what these burritos are and do. Not to mention they are made with ingredients I keep on hang regularly and create a dish that comes together quickly…
