Avocado Alfredo
This will look questionable. It sounds questionable. Consider that your forewarning, but please don’t let it keep you from at least considering this dish. It’s good. It’s good for you. Again, don’t let that stop you. I grew up around … 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

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

Fusilli with Spicy Tomato Garlic Basil Sauce, Soyrizo, and Tempeh “Chicken”
