One of my favorite quick and easy side dishes on a hot summer evening is Blistered Shishito Peppers. You'll see shishito peppers this time of year in all the markets. But I'll be honest, I walked by them in the produce department for years before actually purchasing them. I'm finally recovered enough from my spine surgery to drive to the farmer's market, a real highlight for me. The one I go to is a 30 - 40 minute drive around the Lake a bit, depending on ...
Weekly Vegetarian Meal Plan: Week #10
I'm back with another vegetarian meal plan for the week ahead. I'm lost without a plan for the week. Sometimes it means I have eggs for dinner. Just eggs, maybe with some cheese. Or a smoothie. Or something frozen. OK, I do cook it first, but you get my meaning. Some people have a natural ability to whip something fabulous out of nothing. And because I often don't think about dinner until, um dinner-time, I do not excel at this. But with a plan, my friends, I am so ...
Vegetarian Quiche Lorraine with a Hash Brown Crust
Quiche is the perfect brunch or breakfast for dinner dish, and Quiche Lorraine is one of my favorites. But the traditional version from the mountainous Lorraine region in north-eastern France includes bacon. And, although I love a good Asparagus Quiche, today I wanted a vegetarian Quiche Lorraine. The Traditional Quiche Lorraine A quiche was originally a simple peasant meal of an egg and cream custard, with bread dough as the crust. Although we associate this dish with France, at the time ...
Top Vegetarian Posts From 2019
I like to look back through the year to see what was popular and what wasn't. After all, just because I thought a dish rocked doesn't mean everyone wants to try it. For those of us with blogs, we study Google Analytics, the God of all that matters (or so it sometimes seems). And based on the numbers, I came up with these 10 top vegetarian posts of 2019. BTW, this means they were posted in 2019. I note this because a lot of my top posts are ones that have been around for awhile. For example, ...

Vegetarian Meal Plan – Week 9
Easy vegetarian meal plan with comfort dishes that can be prepped in 15 minutes or less (except the enchiladas, which take 20 minutes of prepping). This week's dinners star cauliflower, sweet potatoes, and 3 kinds of legumes. The first few years after I graduated from culinary school, I veered towards more complicated recipes. I wanted to have some fun with all this new knowledge I now had. I still love to bake, especially breads. But for our weekly dinner? I look for something easy and ...
Delicata Squash and Apple Galette
Vegetarian This addictive delicata squash and apple galette appetizer is quick to prep, and ideal warm, fresh from the oven. Delicata squash is worth looking for, as the skin is thin enough not to require peeling before roasting and eating. As I've often written, I'm appetizer challenged. I typically resort to an assortment of cheeses and crackers. For a recent large party, I augmented this with pickled veggies I purchased. But ...

Pomegranate-Glazed Hasselback Butternut Squash
Delicious, gorgeous vegan entrée for Thanksgiving or any special occasion. Step-by-step instructions to hasselback butternut squash are included, with photos for each step. A few days ago, I posted about making your own pomegranate molasses. It was so easy, and I liked how I could tailor it to my own taste. I may never purchase it again. But I discovered that I'd never posted any recipes calling for this ingredient. So here's the first one: Hasselback butternut squash basted with a ...
Vegetarian Weekly Meal Plan – Week 8
Collecting Recipes for a Vegetarian Weekly Meal Plan I'm always on the hunt for dinner ideas for my vegetarian weekly meal plan that aren't too labor intensive and look like they'll taste great. I mean, really great. If they're a little more time consuming than I want during the week, then I look for make-ahead opportunities so that it comes together quickly at the end of a crazy busy day. When I run across a recipe I want to make, I save it in some way. Usually to Pinterest, and sometimes ...
Vegetarian Meal Plan – Week 7
The Importance of Making a Meal Plan Confession, I didn't really cook much this summer. I ate, to be sure, but didn't plan a lot of meals. Summer is the time of year for lots of eating out, parties, BBQs and potlucks. Lacking my Meal Plan, I mostly refrigerator surfed, grabbing what caught my eye whether it really made sense for dinner or not. I went to the Farmer's Market starting about a month ago, finally a step in the right direction. Every Thursday, off I trotted, and it was one of the ...
