Vegetarian Meal Plan + Tips For Omnivores // Week 2

January 26, 2019 6 Comments

Weekly vegetarian meal plan with tips for omnivores at the table, including tips for meal planning, and prep ahead tips to make dinner easy this week. #EatingClean #HealthyVegetarian #VegetarianRecipes #VegetarianMealPlan #MealPlan #MealPlanning #thewimpyvegetarian #spaghettisquash #chickpeas #cauliflower #falafel

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. ...

Spiced Acorn Squash with Charred Poblano Pepper – Cornbread Stuffing

November 23, 2015 10 Comments

I like to think travel broadens the mind. For a snapshot in time, you sneak a glimpse of another culture, up close and personal. What people eat, how they live, and how they navigate human issues common to us all. We weigh these observations in our minds as we contrast them against our own familiar lives, and sometimes feel the pinching discomfort of a traveler far from home. “Why is there only one person selling train tickets? Holy Jesus, can’t they see how long the line is??” This can be as ...

Fig Basted Roast Butternut Squash with Quinoa, Apple, and Fig Stuffing

November 21, 2015 16 Comments

We should have more than one day set aside each year to give thanks. Some might declare we should give thanks every day, and I don’t disagree, but I’m actually stating we should have Thanksgiving once a month. Not with all the commercial hoopla of people rising before dawn the day after so they can shiver in dark parking lots to be in line for some amazing-never-to-be-offered-again deal on a big screen TV, thank you very much. I’m talking about quietly setting aside one day a month on your ...

Butternut Squash Risotto with Pears and Sage

  I was lucky enough to travel in the Czech Republic and Slovakia earlier this month with a small group of 14 wonderful people. We started and ended in Prague, my new favorite city in the whole world, escaped the crowds to travel west to Karlovy Vary (a spa town very near Germany with hot springs everywhere), and retraced our steps eastward to travel through parts of Slovakia very near Poland. It was a fantastic trip, my favorite in a long time, but people, we were in the land of meat. I ...

Butternut Squash Panzanella Salad with Apples and Kale

October 22, 2015 9 Comments

Make an autumn version of a traditional Italian salad with this butternut squash panzanella salad tossed with apples and kale, dressed with an apple vinaigrette. I spent much of September in Italy attending an Italian language school in Treviso, a smallish town outside Venice. For 2 1/2 weeks I ate a ton of pasta, pizza, risotto, and tiramisu (a dessert created by a restaurant in Treviso). The trip was about language, food, and people -- meeting local Italians and making new friends with fellow ...

Farmhouse Butternut – Apple Crumble

November 17, 2013 36 Comments

Comfort butternut - apple crumble made with butternut squash, apples and ginger. This week's theme is "Squashin' Winter" for SundaySupper. It's still sunny and in the 60's and 70's here in Northern California, but luckily the weather isn't the only thing that drives seasons. Food does too. I crave fall and winter food in November even if we're grilling out back and eating on the deck. And at the top of the list is winter squash; a hearty, satisfying vegetable for a vegetarian meal. But I have a ...

I'm a mostly vegetarian married to a mostly carnivore and am on a constant hunt for healthy, delicious recipes we'll both like. Most recipes here are vegetarian with tips for adding meat or fish for the meat-eaters at the table. Whether you're vegetarian, or just wanting to eat less meat, I hope you'll find inspiration here to try something new for your own table, even if you're sharing it with someone with different eating preferences.
