NOW YOU’RE COOKIN’: MEATLESS MONDAY

NOW YOU’RE COOKIN’: MEATLESS MONDAY {Baked Mac ‘n Cheese}

This isn’t much of a recipe, but as you know I don’t really follow recipes so it’s hard for me to come up with one. I primarily cook by taste and feel, letting the dish develop as I go. Homemade mac ‘n cheese isn’t hard by any means and it tastes way better than that [...]

NOW YOU’RE COOKIN’: MEATLESS MONDAY {Veggie Pot Pie}

This is one of those meals that I make often without following a recipe. It’s so easy and totally adaptable. Use whatever you have on hand: chicken, beef, vegetables, potatoes, no potatoes, different sauces, whatever. I chose veggies and basil cream sauce for Meatless Monday. Start by sautéing onions/peppers/celery in two tablespoons butter in a [...]

NOW YOU’RE COOKIN’: MEATLESS MONDAY {Lasagna Rolls}

I’m still cooking from my pantry as part of the Clean Out the Cupboards Challenge, so for this Meatless Monday I pulled inspiration from the wonderful world of www. I don’t recall where I saw this recipe {if it was you, thank you!}, but somewhere in my wandering I came across a post about Lasagna [...]

NOW YOU’RE COOKIN’: MEATLESS MONDAY {MINESTRONE}

I love soup. If I were on death row, my final meal request would be soup with a big glass of cold milk. Perfection. My favorite soup of soups is Minestrone. Light, yet hearty and loaded with veggies. For as much I love soup, I rarely make my own. Other than potato and chili, but [...]

NOW YOU’RE COOKIN’: MEATLESS MONDAY {VEGETARIAN PASTY}

The inspiration for this dish came after Mister and I took a mini-holiday to Mackinac Island. While driving along the coast of Lake Michigan it seemed about every two miles we would see a sign for pasties and fudge. Eventually we succumbed to the roadside marketing. Mister had a pasty, I had the fudge. Neither [...]

NOW YOU’RE COOKIN’: MEATLESS MONDAY {ITALIAN VEGETARIAN LASAGNA}

I am still cooking from the Pillsbury Pot Pies & Casseroles 2010 magazine, albeit using none of the products they suggest. You’re probably tired of me talking about it, but then that’s a perk of having your own blog. You get to talk about whatever fancies your imaginations, as much and as often as you [...]

It’s heeerre…

We knew this was coming. One day, amongst our beloved veggies, our CSA would slip in something fearsome. Something so awful the mere mention of its name sparks terror in children’s eyes. Even adults cringe. I know it sends shivers up my spine. Sure it looks innocent enough, with its shiny purple skin and funny [...]

NOW YOU’RE COOKIN’: MEATLESS MONDAY {‘Chicken’ Lattice Casserole}

Ever wonder how many posts you could write if you dedicated one whole day to writing? Well I did just that and here’s the answer. One. One EPIC post and this is it. This recipe comes from Pillsbury Pot Pies & Casseroles 2010, a magazine I picked up in the grocery store checkout last month. [...]

Midnight Maniac Meatless Mondays

bout a year ago I started doing Meatless Mondays. During that time the majority of our meals became meatless and Meatless Monday lost it’s focus. I guess it’s a good thing when cooking vegetarian just becomes habit and you don’t have to set aside a special day for it, but I would like to regain [...]

I’m strong to the finich. Cause I eats me spinach.

Popeye loved the stuff. I like it too. But, what do you do when you have a surplus spinach? Go GREEN of course! We’ve been getting spinach, among other greens {chard, leaf lettuce, head lettuce, kohlrabi tops}, in our CSA box and now my garden has gone crazy! What’s for dinner? I’m thinking spinach! Spinach [...]
