This Week, The Theme is an EASY Vegetarian Meal Plan ... I mentioned in my last post, that I had had a skiing accident. This past week, all I wanted was comfort food, like this lentil soup. Well, I had my MRI this morning, and Carnivorous Maximus, who is a retired ER Doc, looked at the images. It appears I completely tore my ACL. So now I face the decision of either (1) surgery + rehab, which will take about 1 year; or (2) aggressive rehab, and hope pray to God PT is good enough to strengthen ...

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 ...

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 ...
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 ...
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. I see four fuzzy buds one day on a bush when walking Paprika, and the next day another two gather up their nerve to step out and join ...
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 ...
Mediterranean Cauliflower Salad with Crispy Chickpeas + Miso Dressing
Perfect clean eating dinner. Warm cauliflower salad with crispy chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes and Kalamata olives, all tossed in a miso dressing. Do you have certain ingredients you always go to? The Italians, IMHO, have this nailed. Tomatoes, pasta, garlic, basil, and Parmesan. Those five ingredients can make several days of meals for me. Nothing against this winning combination, but I have my own favorites I often go to year-round. Cauliflower. Sun-dried tomatoes. Kalamata olives. ...

Idaho® Potato Nacho Stacks
This post is sponsored by the Idaho® Potato Commission in conjunction with a social media campaign through Sunday Supper LLC. All opinions are my own. I’m a just-in-time girl. I can plan. Really, I can. But, and this is what I blame it on, I’m an optimist. I always think I have more time available to get something done than I actually do. As a result, my husband and I live in a kind of parallel reality, since he’s exactly the opposite. It makes for some interesting ‘discussions’ as you ...
Cauliflower + Chickpea Stew with Prawns
Aromatic sauce of prawns and cauliflower, with clams, chickpeas, tomatoes, and feta served over Israeli couscous. A twist on an Ottolenghi favorite. Do you buy cookbooks and cook one, maybe two, recipes from them before squeezing them onto a shelf and out of your mind? How about magazines? I'm the worst! I could be considered a hoarder. I have piles of cooking magazines, stuffed with mouth-watering recipes I've yet to try, stacked in places all over the house, and yet whenever I'm standing ...
