Brussels sprouts are one of those things that I’ve heard so many awful things about, I never bothered to try them. Recently, they’ve been popping up on pretty much every blog I read, so I figured I’d finally give them a try. I saw a recipe for Buffalo Veggie Pasta bake over on Coffee and […]

It’s Lent right now and that’s pretty much my favorite time of the year. As a mostly vegetarian, sometimes fish eater, every Catholic on the planet eats like me on Fridays. It’s the only time of year where my obnoxious restaurant questions can be excused and menu items are specifically tailored to my diet. One […]

Eggplant parmigiana is one of my favorite foods to get at an Italian restaurant. It’s so comforting, but it’s also so fattening.

I’ve been on a bit of a decadent banana breakfast kick lately. Last weekend I made banana french toast and this weekend I made both these oatmeal banana pancakes and peanut butter banana breakfast rolls (recipe coming soon!). I’m not normally so into bananas, but they’re cheap, delicious, and easy to keep around the house. […]

Ever since the delicious outcome of putting butternut squash in broccoli cheese soup, I’ve been trying to combine cheese and squash as often as possible. Macaroni and cheese is usually a fatty, calorie dense food with little actual substance – but too delicious to resist. Using squash in the base of the soup adds a […]

I know it’s no where near bell pepper season, but I crave stuffed peppers all year round. I like them a few different ways: fake meat and rice, chili and cornbread, full of veggies and tomato sauce– all are good choices! My sister and dad mentioned last week that they were going to make chicken […]
