A couple of weeks ago, I posted a Weekly Vegetarian Meal Plan - something I do every couple of weeks or so.And sometimes I fall in love with one of the recipes, and can't stop making it. That's what happened with the Sweet Potato Cakes with Lemony Slaw by The First Mess. I've made this one 3 times now. And each time I make it, I do something new with it. I like to share my results on some of the recipes with you guys in case you decide to try them. Often, I add some additional tips for ...
Vegetarian Weekly Meal Plan – Week 8
Collecting Recipes for a Vegetarian Weekly Meal Plan I'm always on the hunt for dinner ideas for my vegetarian weekly meal plan that aren't too labor intensive and look like they'll taste great. I mean, really great. If they're a little more time consuming than I want during the week, then I look for make-ahead opportunities so that it comes together quickly at the end of a crazy busy day. When I run across a recipe I want to make, I save it in some way. Usually to Pinterest, and sometimes ...
Vegan Marinated Roasted Red Peppers
When I have one foot holding onto summer and the other reaching for fall, I turn to roasted red peppers as a satisfying dish. This marinated roasted peppers dish is a perfect example of one of my favorites, as it brings in so many flavors of late summer and early fall. Best of all, it gets party dish bonus points, since it should be made at least a day ahead to allow the flavors to meld. To be honest, here in the mountains we're firmly planted in autumn and seem to be reaching for winter. So ...
Healthy Apple Cheddar Muffins – Progressive Eats
It's still September and we've already had snow. It didn't stick around, except higher in the mountains, but seriously guys, how crazy is that?! The good news: this chilly weather gets me baking, so you'll be seeing some baked breads over the next few months. And first up are these best-ever Apple Cheddar Muffins. Because, really, what says autumn better than apples? Nothing. That's what. The secret in getting the soft fluffy texture in these truly amazing muffins was soaking oats in ...
Vegetarian Meal Plan – Week 7
The Importance of Making a Meal Plan Confession, I didn't really cook much this summer. I ate, to be sure, but didn't plan a lot of meals. Summer is the time of year for lots of eating out, parties, BBQs and potlucks. Lacking my Meal Plan, I mostly refrigerator surfed, grabbing what caught my eye whether it really made sense for dinner or not. I went to the Farmer's Market starting about a month ago, finally a step in the right direction. Every Thursday, off I trotted, and it was one of the ...
Easy Peruvian Pisco Sour Cocktail
Before I was a Lemon Drop Martini girl, I was a Pisco Sour girl, and it all began in Portland, Oregon. A few years ago, my husband and I were visiting family in Portland. We kicked around ideas for dinner out, and opted for Andina - a Peruvian restaurant downtown in an old brick building. The exterior was inviting, and once inside, it was stunning. And so was the food. Andina completely excels at their small plates. The four of us shared everything with each other, and they were all solid ...
Foolproof Instant Pot Peach Cobbler + CrispLid
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
Since double baked cheese soufflés are baked twice, there's no stress over them falling. They make a wonderfully decadent appetizer, side, or even a main dish with a salad. Why Double-Baked Cheese 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 ...
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 ...
Instant Pot Crustless Key Lime Cheesecake
This post includes step-by-step instructions for cooking a Crustless Key Lime Cheesecake in the Instant Pot (or any electric pressure cooker). 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 ...
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. ...
