Feta dip + lemon + rosemary + honey + olive oil + garlic = my favorite dip! And it's ready in 10 minutes. Summertime entertaining calls for easy recipes, and that includes appetizers. I first made this feta dip last summer to take to a pot luck. I needed something quick, but something with a little pizzazz, and threw some goat/sheet feta cheese in the blender along with some lemon, garlic paste and olive oil. It was good, but not particularly memorable. After a few ...
And the Winner is….Spicy Skillet Eggs (Mexican-ish Shakshuka) !
A Mexican-ish twist on Shakshuka! Last week I posted a poll on Facebook, asking followers to choose between two dishes from the book that they would most like the recipe for. The choices were Spicy Skillet Eggs (a Mexican-ish twist on Shaksuka, a popular north African and Middle-Eastern breakfast) or a very easy Asparagus Risotto made in the Instant Pot. I promised to share the recipe for the winner on my blog, and here it is! The winner was a bit of a landslide, at least partly - IMHO ...
Grilled Vegetable Skewers over Zoodles | #ProgressiveEats
I'm trying hard to go low-ish carb, swapping cauliflower rice for, well, regular rice, and spiralized zucchini for pasta. These grilled vegetable skewers of halloumi, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, potatoes and onions over zoodles is a perfect example of my dinner. It's not Whole30, but I think of it as Whole30-Lite. Or maybe Whole29. And this dish was uber-easy, one of my new meal requirements. It looks a lot more complicated than it is. Your first question might be - what the heck ...
Frozen Mudslide (Cocktail or Dessert!!) # ProgressiveEats
The Frozen Mudslide cocktail is easy to make with a couple scoops of ice cream and equal parts of Kahlua, Bailey's, and vodka. And it's a two-fer since it can be either a cocktail or boozy dessert. I'm a recent fan of the Frozen Mudslide cocktail, and it all started with a gift. Some friends recently quit high altitude living and moved to an area much closer to sea level. It's a bridge many up here cross - facing the fact that all this clean air is just a little too thin for optimal ...
Cajun Peppers + Cauliflower ‘Grits’
This is a spin on shrimp and grits, a Cajun favorite, using cajun-spiced baby bell peppers and black beans piled on top of cheesy cauliflower grits. Cauliflower rice is my new thing. And since I'm trying to be grain-free for a month (1 week down, 3 to go!), it's been a great substitute in some favorite dishes. This is my latest tinkering with cauliflower rice - and it rocks, you guys! Cauliflower grits! Who knew??!! Although this dish is an easy weeknight dinner - it comes together in ...
A Mother’s Day Vegetarian Brunch
Mother's Day vegetarian brunch dishes, ranging from eggs and a popular asparagus side dish, to pancakes, smoothies, and scones. Brunch is easy to make vegetarian, what with all the egg, smoothie, pancake, waffle, and bread options. Here are ten of my most popular brunch dishes I've posted over the years - just in case you missed them. And just in time for Mother's Day. A very Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there (including moms of dogs, cats, and other 4-legged members ...
Vegan Asparagus Salad with Potatoes and Lentils in a Lemon Vinaigrette
A spring vegan asparagus salad, hearty enough for a meal, loaded with asparagus, potatoes, lentils, radishes, sugar snap peas, and mint - all dressed with a bright lemon vinaigrette. Spring wakes slowly here in the mountains. After relishing the explosion of spring for decades outside San Francisco, I'm adjusting to a more tentative, gentle springing forth. Full confession: it's painful. I see four fuzzy buds one day on a bush when walking Paprika, and the next day another two gather up ...
Cauliflower Scampi – A Vegetarian Twist on a Classic
I'm thrilled to say I'm on the home stretch of creating my new cookbook. Well, ok, not my 'new' cookbook. My only cookbook. My only cookbook so far, I should add. Because yes, I'd love to do another one. Not today, mind you, but I thoroughly enjoyed this process. Not to say there aren't some things I'd do differently the next time around, but for my first go at this, it was a win. I'll write more about all that in future posts, but one thing I want to share now is how doing this cookbook has ...
Weekly Vegetarian Menu #2 – 5 Easy Vegetarian Dinners
I've been in Yosemite most of this week, and so haven't been able to complete photography on a couple of new recipes I want to bring to you. In the meantime, here's another Weekly Vegetarian Menu of dinner ideas for the next week. If your week next week looks as busy as mine promises to be, you won't always have the time you'd like to cook up something healthy. I get it. In answer to that, this selection is focused on easy dinners! As I mentioned last week, I scour blogs I enjoy for recipes I ...
Weekly Vegetarian Menu #1
Ok, you guys. Here we go with my first Weekly Vegetarian Menu of the year, leaving you plenty of time to pick up groceries and plan over the weekend. As many of you might remember, I was part of a group with some friends last year where we jointly provided weekly menu plans for you. I offered up vegetarian spins on meat and fish dishes, but I got a lot of pushback from readers who preferred to see vegetarian dinner ideas. I totally get it - you want dishes that were originally created to be ...
Romanesco Pasta with Curry Cauliflower Sauce
Have you tried romanesco yet? You've probably seen it. It looks like broccoli and cauliflower hooked up and had a baby. It looks like something whimsical you'd see growing from the ground in the Lord of the Rings series. With a hobbit sitting underneath it. I call it "broccoli light", because that's what it tastes like, but it really is a cross between broccoli and cauliflower. And with parentage like that, it's unsurprisingly nutritious. Top 5 Nutritional Benefits of ...
My Twelve Most Popular Recipes of 2017
I like to look back over the year to see which recipes called you into the kitchen. I never know what I'll find, and there are always surprises. As you can imagine, the results are always a little skewed by the length of time they've been around. A post from last January has had more time to get around then something I might have posted last week. Breads were the overall favorite with Easy Buttermilk Cornbread and Sweet Potato Bread with Honey taking the first two slots, and ...
