Eggs with Spicy Beans
We were skyping with my mother-in-law the other day and Tom was talking to her about some of Zachary’s recent tantrums and poor listening skills (for lack of a better phrase). He was joking that his...

Fattoush
I first posted fattoush on this blog over 5 years ago, but it needed an update (both the pic and the directions – because there were no directions, apparently). It’s one of our favorites and has...

Corn and Poblano Pudding
I’ve been making this dish for over 5 years, but it’s never made it to the blog. (Well, a version of it sort of did in this chili casserole.) I’m either serving it for company and don’t take a...

Meatless Monday: Thin Crust Pizza Margherita
This has been my favorite pizza crust for about a year, and I’ve totally been holding out on you guys. I’m so sorry! I love thin crust pizza, so of course the thin, crispy crust is a winner in that...

Meatless Monday: Crispy Black Bean Tacos with Feta and Slaw
It’s no secret that we are a Mexican food loving family. The word “quesadilla” entered Zachary’s vocabulary very early on, and he continues to be extremely excited on quesadilla and taco nights. Can’t...

44-Clove Garlic Soup
Sometimes, I wonder if my taste buds have developed an immunity to garlic because I eat it so often. I always tend to double the amount of garlic in a recipe and I find that “too garlicky” is not a...

Creamy Quinoa Primavera
Because I’m a food blogger, it’s pertinent that I bring the occasional quinoa dish to your attention. After all, who would take me seriously without some posts about this popular supergrain (that’s...

Meatless Monday: “Revolutionary” Macaroni and Cheese
Macaroni and cheese is probably my ultimate comfort food. We don’t eat it very often because it’s really not terribly good for you, but every once in a while, you just have to have some macaroni and...

Meatless Monday: Easy Mushroom Paprikash
We try to eat meatless 1-2 times per week but admittedly, I have a really hard time getting past pasta on those nights. Not only because it seems that a lot of the vegetarian recipes I come across are...

Farmers’ Market Salad with Spiced Goat Cheese Rounds
One of the benefits of living in the Midwest, people tout, is that you get to experience all 4 seasons. I’m not so sure about that. I find that our only “springtime” tends to be that 3 day period...

Spicy Soba Noodles with Shiitakes and Cabbage
::tap tap:: Is this thing on? Hi! So sorry for the lack of blog posting. You’re just going to have to bear with me while I figure out this whole new routine. You see, I’m officially a suburbanite. And...

Pineapple Fried Rice
This rice, alongside the Hawaiian-marinated chicken, was a favorite dinner of mine as of late. It was quick, healthy, and a nice change from the standard “comfort” and hearty foods we’ve been eating...

Creamy Garlic Shells
There was a (long) period in my life where I was basically keeping Lipton in business. And I’m not just talking about my iced tea addiction (which I still have, thankyouverymuch) but those flavored...

Mediterreanean Macaroni and Cheese
It should be no surprise that I’ve been throwing feta in pasta for pretty much my whole life. It adds a nice salty bite and tastes delicious, of course. The only “bad” thing about feta is that it’s...

Roasted Potato and Okra Salad
What are your thoughts on okra? Personally, I’ve always loved it. It’s a very popular vegetable in Greek cuisine (bamies, pronounced bahm-yes) and it was another one of those weird things I would eat...

Kolokithokeftedes (Greek zucchini fritters)
I can’t believe my blog has been in existence so long and I have yet to post kolokithokeftedes. For some reason any time we have them I don’t get to take a picture, or something else happens (like The...

Roasted Summer Vegetable and Rice Casserole
Roasted vegetables are pretty much the bee’s knees, right? Even my 4 year old knows this. I remember a while back, my sister was saying she doesn’t like broccoli (and I will admit it is high on my...

Wheat Berry & Beet Salad with Pumpkin Seed Vinaigrette
You know how there’s all this research now that points to people who think cilantro tastes like soap/tin foil actually having something in their DNA causing that reaction ? I wonder if there’s...

Ella’s Salad
After waking up twice this week with new snow on the ground, I’m sad to report that maybe we haven’t officially reached “salad weather” yet. Sigh. But, no matter, right? Salads can definitely be eaten...

White Pizza Quinoa Casserole
My mom likes to give people things. Every time I visit, I somehow manage to get sent home with a box of my childhood stuff, random books, a sponsored tee, a trinket, you name it. One time she tried...
