Grilled Vegetables with Marinated Feta and Tabbouleh

Grilled Vegetables with Marinated Feta and Tabbouleh

Summer may not officially start for another couple weeks, but the warm temps have already arrived – and that means it’s time to take the cooking outside. As part of my efforts to be more sustainable (and save money!), I rarely turn on the air conditioning, so cooking in the oven is inefficient at best, …
Caprese Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

Caprese Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

I don’t think I have had an opportunity yet to express my love for portobello mushrooms. As someone who eats meatless meals quite often, they are such a good meaty main course, from Portobellos Fajitas and Enchiladas to Fried Mushroom Steak Fries, and now these Caprese Stuffed Garlic Butter Portobello Shrooms. It’s also a …

5 Minute Mediterranean Antioxidant Salad

I have a confession…despite my love of healthy, easy cooking, I’m really no good at writing recipes. In our house, we just throw together ingredients without much care for measuring cups and precise directions. If we need some inspiration, we might look at a few different recipes and then wing it based on our preferences … Continue reading "5 Minute Mediterranean Antioxidant Salad"
White Bean Puttanesca

White Bean Puttanesca

Unless it’s a soup or stew, meals in our house rarely take more than 30 minutes. While I think everyone deserves delicious, wholesome, homemade meals and I also think cooking can be a relaxing creative endeavor rather than a chore, it doesn’t mean I want to spend all night in the kitchen.

Apple Beet Carrot Slaw with Mint-Cumin Vinaigrette

Apple Beet Carrot Slaw with Mint-Cumin Vinaigrette

Sweet, spicy, cold, crunchy. What’s not to love about this summer salad-slaw hybrid that’s as beautiful to dish up as it is satisfying to eat? I packed this for lunch on a day hike, and it totally hit the spot. It’s paradoxically light while keeping you full. While it easily held its own as a …
