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. 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 ...
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 ...
Cauliflower and Crispy Chickpeas with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Olives and Miso Dressing
Warm salad of roasted cauliflower and crispy chickpeas sautéed with sun-dried tomatoes and Kalamata olives, all tossed with 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. ...
Dinner Divas Weekly Meal Plan (with vegetarian versions!): Week 2
My Dinner Divas are back again with another meal plan for the week ahead. It's full of ideas for you. As a recap, if you missed our first Menu Plan, I’ve joined up with some of my favorite blogger friends to collaborate on a week’s worth of dinner ideas. Every Friday morning, you’ll now wake to a menu of options for the week ahead, including 5 dinners and 2 extra dishes that can be sides, desserts, or drinks. Full disclosure: The other bloggers post recipes on all kinds of food, not just ...
Idaho® Potato Nacho Stacks | #SundaySupper | #GameDayIdahoPotatoes
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 ...
Prawns and Cauliflower in a Tomato-Feta Sauce over Couscous
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 ...
Cuban Spicy Black Bean and Sweet Potato Tacos with Candied Plantains | #ProgressiveEats
Spicy black bean and sweet potato tacos with cabbage - topped with a tomatillo-avocado sauce and cheese. Candied plantains are on the side! Cuba is the *it* destination. The country is officially open to the US, and people are streaming in. But it's still a little tricky in that folks here can't just casually decide to hop on a commercial flight, rent a car, and be a DIY tourist. There are loads of organized trips, if you can afford it, and other options are due to open the country up a ...
Baked Falafel with a Spicy Moroccan Sauce (in a muffin pan!!)
This month's theme for Progressive Eats is anything that can be made in a muffin tin. This could have been my opportunity to make muffins. God knows I'm due. In the nearly 5 years I've had this blog going, I've not posted one single muffin. Kind of shocking in the food blogging world. Likewise, and my husband really doesn't understand this, I've never posted cupcakes. But they're vegetarian, he's complained more than once. In truth, you might never see cupcakes here. Trust me when I say ...
Healthy Mexican Casserole with Quinoa
With the holiday weekend upon us, ushering in summer BBQs, get-togethers with family and friends, picnics, and trips to the beach, this is an easy casserole you need in your hip pocket for a great side dish or vegetarian entree. It comes together quickly and is a crowd pleaser for adults and kids of any age. Every summer, our stepson, his lovely wife and a bunch of our grandkids come visit us at Lake Tahoe. There's a ton of activities always going on between the beaches, pool, kayaking, ...
Mashed Fava Beans and Mint Crostini | #WeekdaySupper
The Vegetable Butcher by Cara Mangini is a must-have cookbook for all of us. After playing with it for the past two weeks, I can firmly state that its flavorful recipes pull me into the kitchen and deliver on their promise. But this cookbook is much more than that. It’s a love letter to vegetables, instructing us how to welcome them into our homes, and treat them with the respect they deserve. Cara opens the book with a flourish of Butchery Basics, focused on knife care, equipment, and ...
