Give me all the peasant food. I need nothing fancy to make me happy and satisfied. A good bean soup or bowl of braised lentils or refried beans is what I crave. I basically could never go Paleo because I can't give up legumes! There are many different cultures which use legumes in their cooking - ...
Split Pea and Barley Soup Recipe
St. Patrick's Day is approaching and I am here to tell you that you do not need to make corned beef and cabbage to be in the spirit. Make anything green -- spinach risotto, kale salad, a mint chip smoothie -- and you're good in my book. I actually discovered recently that split pea soup can have ...
Moroccan Vegetable Soup Recipe
I can't think of anything more comforting than a bowl of soup. Warm, filling, and nourishing, homemade soup feels like a big hug. My husband and my kids (especially Mr. Picky) all love soup and I love making it because it's easy, flexible and soup makes great leftovers. ...
turkey and pinto bean sloppy joes recipe (vegetarian version, too!)
Last summer, my son came home after two weeks at sleep-away camp and couldn't wait to tell me about an amazing food that I obviously had never heard of or eaten. He assumed this because if I had ever enjoyed such culinary perfection, I would have surely been delighting my family with it over and ...
lentil and grilled eggplant salad recipe
Do you remember the Dunkin Donuts commercial from the '80s, where the guy wakes up super early in the morning every day and says, "time to make the donuts" ? That's how I felt yesterday morning when I stumbled out of bed as the sun came up because it was "time to make the lunches." Oy. How is it ...
Vegetarian Chopped Antipasto Salad Recipe
I learned via osmosis from watching my parents entertain that an antipasto platter is really all you need with drinks before dinner. It's certainly simple enough for the busy host to put together, and always popular with guests because all those salty foods taste wonderful with cocktails. But ...
Grain-free White Bean Coffee Cake Recipe
Trust me that this cake is so good! It does NOT look like it has white beans in it, nor does it taste like white beans (which may I remind you taste like nothing.) And lest you think I am a genius coming up with blending white beans to make a high-protein, downright delicious cake, I will come ...
Kale and White Bean Minestrone Recipe
I think that sports are awesome for kids. They're fun! The kids get exercise, make new friends, learn about competition and trying your best, and lots of other life lessons which I am constantly repeating to my children to the point of annoyance. "It's not over 'til it's over!" "Today is a new ...
black bean and pumpkin soup recipe
Nothing is as comforting to me as a one-pot, hearty meal in a bowl. I love substantial soups and stews, especially ones with beans or legumes. I very often make soups on the weekend for lunch or for a Meatless Monday dinner. They also make a fantastic school lunch for the kids the next day. This ...
butternut squash and chickpea stew recipe
I have been consistently making Monday our meatless night, although I often have another vegetarian dinner during the week as well. This week I was excited to cook something with one of the many winter squashes I have bought recently. I taught this vegan butternut squash and chickpea stew last ...
indian basmati rice with peas recipe
I am 100% Italian and I absolutely love pasta, but I also looooooove rice. Love! I am crazy about all kinds of rice and it shows in my pantry. I have so many varieties of both white and brown rice and I never get tired of it. Overeating pasta doesn't make me feel great and makes it very hard for ...
