In our family everyone has a story about my husband's tenacity. When he wants something done, or a problem solved, he leaves no stone unturned in his quest - no matter how long it takes. I'm more go-with-the-flow. Well, until I tried to make this Instant Pot Peach Cobbler. It took me 7 times to get it perfect. Big, huge sigh. First, a little background. I've been wanting to make more desserts in my pressure cooker. But my biggest complaint has always been the difficulty in getting a browned ...
Best Traditional Greek Salad
This is the best time of year to make a traditional Greek salad, so if you're looking for your next salad, this is it my friends. All of the ingredients are in season at their peak flavor, and easily found at grocery stores and Farmers Markets. For bonus points, this might also be one of the easiest salads you'll make this year - and for the win, one of your most popular. Seriously. Make it for dinner, a pot luck, or a picnic. It travels well and is best made a little ahead of time. (And if ...
Double-Baked Cheese Soufflé with Artichokes
Why Double-Baked Soufflés are the BEST It's been a long time since I've made a soufflé. Like forever. For starters, they collapse so quickly that by the time they reach the table people wonder why I'm serving a pancake for dessert. And there's a lot of fuss around having a clean ramekin top and edge so nothing interferes with the rise. Although really, if they collapse in a nanosecond, does that really matter? So double-baked soufflés, also called twice-baked soufflés, are right up my ...
Weekly Vegetarian Meal Plan + Tips for Omnivores // Week 6
The Theme is Still EASY Vegetarian Meal Plans ... I completed my first week of rehab on my knee this week, and I'm feeling good. To catch you all up, I had a bad skiing accident at a nearby mountain, and severed my ACL. The good news is I have zero pain. The bad news is it will never heal back. My job right now is to get strong. I need all the surrounding stuff that supports my knee, we're talking muscles, ligaments, tendons, everything, have to do their own job and cover for the ACL that went ...
Crustless Key Lime Cheesecake (in the Instant Pot!)
My Instant Pot is my current 'go-to' appliance. I use it for soup, chili, and long-cooking vegetables like artichokes and beets. I ventured out into the unknown and made risotto in it for my cookbook, and I will never make risotto any other way. Every week, I try something new in this fabulous pot that can do so many things, but never dessert. Until now. A New Healthy Cookbook For You!!! It took a blogging friend of mine, Shelby, to get me there with her new cookbook, The Diabetes Cookbook ...
Easy Southern Pimento Cheese | #ProgressiveEats
Southern Cooking My mom was a southern girl, my dad too. They married the day after her college graduation, and she came to the marriage knowing absolutely zero about cooking. As she often put it, she had to learn how to boil water. Over time, she became a great cook, and her favorite recipes were traditional southern dishes. Fried chicken, okra, grits, and this Pimento Cheese dip for parties. But it was a long road for her, and I don't think it was ever fun for her in the way it is for me. ...
Weekly Vegetarian Meal Plan + Tips for Omnivores // Week 5
This Week, The Theme is an EASY Vegetarian Meal Plan ... I mentioned in my last post, that I had had a skiing accident. This past week, all I wanted was comfort food, like this lentil soup. Well, I had my MRI this morning, and Carnivorous Maximus, who is a retired ER Doc, looked at the images. It appears I completely tore my ACL. So now I face the decision of either (1) surgery + rehab, which will take about 1 year; or (2) aggressive rehab, and hope pray to God PT is good enough to strengthen ...
Instant Pot Curried Lentil Soup
I didn't pull together a Weekly Vegetarian Meal Plan for this week, but I'll be back at the end of the week with a new line up for you for next week. We live in the mountains where skiing is a big deal in the winter. And life suddenly slid sideways for me last Monday when one ski stuck fast on a mogul, and the other continued executing the turn I'd intended. A Ski Patrol guy zipped me down the mountain to the resort clinic on a sled, making me thankful that I still had my goggles. And now I ...
Weekly Vegetarian Meal Plan + Tips For Omnivores // Week 4
Confession: I didn't do very well last week with sticking to my weekly vegetarian meal planning. In fact, it was a huge fail. Why? Because I didn't have a real meal plan. I'd done a roundup on Parade's online magazine for Best Roasted Veggies Ever For Easy Dinners , and saw in it all kinds of great ideas for the week ahead. So I figured my job was done. Wrong. So this week, I'm sharing 4 common mistakes people make in meal planning. Of course there are many more than 4, but these are the ...

Vegetarian Meal Plan + Tips For Omnivores // Week 2
Meal Planning Struggles My first week at dinner meal planning (and executing it) was a work in progress. To recap for any of you who missed my post last week on Vegetarian Weekly Meal Plans, I'm starting to plan my dinners out 1 week ahead to get more organized around dinner so I'm not trying to figure out dinner 10 minutes before I make it. This week, some parts worked, and others didn't. The biggest challenge for me was, and continues to be, all those moving parts that never stay still. ...
Vegetarian Meal Plan + Tips for Omnivores // Week 1
Do You Create Meal Plans? I need to start creating vegetarian meal plans for dinner. And because I'm married to Carnivorous Maximus, I need to plan for how adjust the dishes for him. I find myself way too often at 6:00 (that's p.m. not a.m.) wondering what I'll make for dinner. The result is often something thrown together that's not particularly healthy. Other times, my last minute dinner may be healthy, but not filling, leaving me to look for ice cream or cookies later at night. ...
