Weekly Meal Plan Checklist When you sit down to plan your meals for the week ahead, it's good to have a checklist. Here's one that I use. I'd love to hear from you if you have additional things you consider when creating your own plan. Are we home every night for dinner? Are there some nights I know I'll be on the run, and will have less than 30 minutes to pull together dinner? Will I have time to make some things ahead? When? What's in your refrigerator or pantry I want to ...
Moroccan Citrus Salad with Quinoa
Moroccan citrus salad of oranges and kalamata olives dressed in a spicy vinaigrette. Add peppery arugula and quinoa for a vegetarian main dish. Citrus is at its peak right now, and brightening hearty winter salads is one of the best ways to use it. Like this Moroccan Citrus Salad that I love to make all winter, or this Sumo Citrus Salad with Cauliflower, Olives and Feta. As note: This recipe was originally posted in January 2012, and updated January 2020. Why Use Citrus ...
Weekly Vegetarian Meal Plan: Week #10
I'm back with another vegetarian meal plan for the week ahead. I'm lost without a plan for the week. Sometimes it means I have eggs for dinner. Just eggs, maybe with some cheese. Or a smoothie. Or something frozen. OK, I do cook it first, but you get my meaning. Some people have a natural ability to whip something fabulous out of nothing. And because I often don't think about dinner until, um dinner-time, I do not excel at this. But with a plan, my friends, I am so ...
Vegetarian Quiche Lorraine with a Hash Brown Crust
Quiche is the perfect brunch or breakfast for dinner dish, and Quiche Lorraine is one of my favorites. But the traditional version from the mountainous Lorraine region in north-eastern France includes bacon. And, although I love a good Asparagus Quiche, today I wanted a vegetarian Quiche Lorraine. The Traditional Quiche Lorraine A quiche was originally a simple peasant meal of an egg and cream custard, with bread dough as the crust. Although we associate this dish with France, at the time ...
Top Vegetarian Posts From 2019
I like to look back through the year to see what was popular and what wasn't. After all, just because I thought a dish rocked doesn't mean everyone wants to try it. For those of us with blogs, we study Google Analytics, the God of all that matters (or so it sometimes seems). And based on the numbers, I came up with these 10 top vegetarian posts of 2019. BTW, this means they were posted in 2019. I note this because a lot of my top posts are ones that have been around for awhile. For example, ...

Lentil Bolognese (Vegan)

Just a little coconut milk is stirred in at the end, to add a little creaminess without the dairy and without much coconut flavor. This post includes many uses for this hearty sauce.

Vegetarian Meal Plan – Week 9
Easy vegetarian meal plan with comfort dishes that can be prepped in 15 minutes or less (except the enchiladas, which take 20 minutes of prepping). This week's dinners star cauliflower, sweet potatoes, and 3 kinds of legumes. The first few years after I graduated from culinary school, I veered towards more complicated recipes. I wanted to have some fun with all this new knowledge I now had. I still love to bake, especially breads. But for our weekly dinner? I look for something easy and ...

Delicata Squash and Apple Galette
Vegetarian This addictive delicata squash and apple galette appetizer is quick to prep, and ideal warm, fresh from the oven. Delicata squash is worth looking for, as the skin is thin enough not to require peeling before roasting and eating. As I've often written, I'm appetizer challenged. I typically resort to an assortment of cheeses and crackers. For a recent large party, I augmented this with pickled veggies I purchased. But ...
