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. ...
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 ...

Green Bean Casserole (Vegetarian Keto Low-Carb)
If you've ever attended a Thanksgiving dinner anytime in the past 50 years, chances are you had a green bean casserole topped with Crispy Fried Onions. But have you eaten a version that's keto-friendly? The answer is - you probably have if it didn't include Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup (sorry, Campbell's). Does that surprise you? It did me. First, a little history... Dorcas Reilly created this classic holiday dish in 1955 when she was working in the Home Economics Department of Campbell's ...

As a result, now I want to find them and red kuri squash, to see how it might be different from the rest. Thanks to that informal polling, ...
Easy Sweet Potato Latkes
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of Anolon. Latkes are synonymous with Hanukkah, but I say this year - you should make sweet potato latkes. Hanukkah often coincides with Christmas, but this year it begins at sundown December 2 and ends at sundown December 10. For those of you who aren't completely clued in, Hanukkah is Hebrew for "dedication". Specifically, this holiday commemorates the re-dedication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem following the victory of the ...
Cheesy Cauliflower Rarebit Slab Pie with a Rye Crust-#CookbookReview
A cheesy cauliflower casserole wrapped up in a slab pie with a rye crust. Oh my! Have you ever had Welsh Rarebit? When I was a kid (and long after that), this was one of my favorite dinners. Mom wasn't an adventurous cook, so our version always came from a box with the Stouffer's banner plastered across it. It was years before I realized how easy it was to actually make. Cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard make up the base, along with some kind of liquid. Beef broth is ...
Coconut Curried Butternut Squash Soup
The calendar unleashes butternut squash cravings in me every October 1, and this year was no exception. Unfortunately, I was in Italy, and searched in vain for my familiar friend on menus. It turns out, butternut squash is native to the Americas, and not as common in other areas of the world. I had to wait. So, the first thing I made when I padded back into my kitchen was this butternut squash soup. A version is also in my cookbook, Simply Vegetarian, as it's super-easy and full of flavor. ...
