‘Tis the season for soup…and all the things that get dunked in said soup! Although, I’m sure my fellow gluten-free people have noticed that all the great food for soup-dipping contains gluten. Sigh… Usually with tomato soup I go for a grilled cheese with GF bread for dunking, but wanted to change it up this […]

I drive home for my lunch hour every day for two reasons. 1. Most importantly, I go home to let my dogs outside and give the younger, and still crate-confined, pup a chance to run around before going back into the crate for the afternoon. Here they are after our exciting trip to the dog […]

Chilly Sundays to me always mean wake up a bit late, stay in pajamas all day, lounge with the dogs, watch football (DA Bears), and most importantly, make a delicious comforting breakfast. Being so busy lately, our fridge and pantry are embarrassingly bare, so I scrounged something up, and it turned out delicious! Will definitely […]

Stir Fry might be the easiest meal in existence. It’s very difficult to mess up, and you can put almost anything in it. This dish is incredibly simple, with very few ingredients. And most of them may already be in your pantry! My favorite kind of stir fry is a basic vegan mix with an […]

If I haven’t already professed my love for edamame here…I will do so now. I FREAKING LOVE EDAMAME!!! It tastes amazing, and is ridiculously healthy. Though I love it with the shell still on, shelled edamame is delicious too. I usually eat it as a side, mixed in with rice or noodles, or as a […]

I have a serious pesto obsession. I could bathe in pesto. You could make pesto with any ingredient in existence (cookie pesto?) and I’d probably eat it. I found this recipe for pea pesto a couple months ago, bookmarked it, and finally got around to making it, and it turned out wonderful! I mixed up the […]

I’m a quesadilla nut. I’m not sure why but something about the crispy tortilla and melty cheesy goodness just makes me drool…to the point where I used to make quesadillas for breakfast…and lunch…and dinner. Thankfully I’m out of that phase, but quesadillas are still a go-to quickie meal for me. The spinach and black beans […]

This dinner is very simple, very easy, and not too fancy. Very few ingredients are involved, but it’s so delicious (and vegan)! It’s no secret how much I love tofu, but I love edamame just as much. It is so healthy, easy to make, and tasty with nothing more than sea salt. Ingredients: 1 Package […]

I am the worst offender when it comes to being a lazy chef. I always want a delicious, non-frozen, healthy meal from scratch, but sometimes it is just way too hard to get off the couch. Today was one of those days, so I solved my paradoxical food problem with the Southwestern Bowl. This recipe […]
