A Pagan vegetarian wife and Jewish omnivore husband makin' it work!
Using the dough from last night, Matt and I made some incredible calzones that I know y'all will just love. The dough is really what takes forever; the rest of this takes mayyyybe 30 minutes, so if you have the dough prepped already, you can have a delicious meal in no time at all. Oh, and I completely forgot today was Meatless Monday. Happy Monday, y'all! Ingredients * whole wheat … [Read more...]
I’m on my third week at my fancy new job, and I admit to loving every minute of it. There’s so much to learn and absorb, and I feel like every day I come into work is new and exciting. While I miss my former coworkers, I’m meeting new people here, and they’re all incredibly friendly and great to work for and with. I figured that, since I have a fancy new job, Matt and I would celebrate … [Read more...]
When Matt's out of town, as he is this week, I consider it "me time" in the kitchen. Two reasons for this: First, I can make whatever the eff I want, and on that note, I typically try out a new recipe or two in that week. Second, I can make huge batches of whatever it is, knowing full well that I'll be the one eating it. Which means... I can make tofu galore! This is one, though, that I'm … [Read more...]
via... I'd have pictures of my own, but the food was demolished before I had the chance! ;) I come from a family with an arsenal of select comfort foods: Various casseroles, beef stroganoff (so much so that I had to vegetarianize it!), and tuna melts were staples in my house, and they were almost always meat-based in some way. So when I became vegetarian (again) in my early 20s, the first thing … [Read more...]
Sometimes, coexisting is actually really hard. And can result in some heated debates. Matt and I argued about food yesterday, from our different diets (which isn't typically a problem but holy crap yesterday) to how to raise healthy kids with healthy diets, and pretty much everything in between. Of course, we started when we got to bed at 10pm, and probably passed out (finally!) around … [Read more...]
Riding on our vitamin D high from yesterday's fun-filled day outside, Matt and I decided to fire up the grill and make some cheesesteaks. Except there was no steak, but turkey (or turk'y, in my case), which would be a travesty to the most hardcore cheesesteak lover. There was, however, a good amount of cheese, and the most delicious carmelized veggies you've ever eaten (and some leftovers to enjoy … [Read more...]
I absolutely love this dish for fall and winter. It's a fantastic feel-good food that's filling and that warms you from the inside out. Best part? The combination of sweet and savory!Ingredients* 2 cups coarsely chopped peeled sweet potato (about 1 large)* 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped peeled turnip (about 2 medium)** 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped parsnip (about 2 medium)* 1 1/2 cups coarsely … [Read more...]
I admit that there is one comfort food that I miss desperately after so many years of being vegetarian: My mom's beef stroganoff. I never ate the beef; instead, I strained the sauce and poured it over some egg noodles, then enjoyed the product. With great meat replacers offered by Morningstar Farms, I now have a "beef" stroganoff recipe to slip into my recipe binder!Ingredients* 1 package … [Read more...]
