Panko Breaded Baked Tofu
I watched a rerun of America’s Worst Cooks the other night. Don’t hold a grudge. We don’t have TV so I’m limited to Hulu cooking shows and Netflix movies. AWC seemed like an okay decision at 11:30, post wine-consumption. The … Continue reading

Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup
If I had to choose, I’d say springing forward isn’t exactly my thing. I’m more of a falling back kind of girl. Sunshine at 6 AM? No thanks. I enjoy winter, which is actually a little funny since I … Continue reading

Spinach and Ricotta Dumplings with Shrimp in Cream Sauce
I first heard of Pinterest a handful of months ago, while reading through some of my favorite food blogs. I do understand some of the controversies of the site, especially its rampant issues with copyrights… I try to link … Continue reading
Veggie Marinara Pasta Bake
Rarely does pasta sound unappealing to me. I’m pretty sure I’ve said that before. My go-to recipe is creamy, heavy on the basil and garlic. This isn’t that recipe. This one’s slightly chunky, not at all creamy, but also a … Continue reading

Butternut Squash Lasagna
My husband is the burrito king. I don’t know how, but he has burrito-truck/authentic taqueria radar. We can be driving down the freeway or through a town we’ve never been to, and somehow he manages to find the best burritos. … Continue reading

Creamy Curried Split Pea Soup
Cold, wet, winter days simply ask for soup. A few weeks ago, I bought green split peas in bulk. A total brain fart. I thought I was getting lentils. I’ve got to admit though–prior to tonight I never cooked a … Continue reading

Vegetarian Chicken and Herbed Dumplings
I don’t think I’ve ever had non-vegetarian chicken and dumplings. Don’t let that run you off from trying this recipe. Please. I scoured the inter-nets for quite some time, searching for the best chicken ‘n dumplins recipes. I knew seitan … Continue reading
Easy Chicken-Style Seitan (Wheat Meat)
