I love how so many things in life just seem to work out. I have to admit, when I signed up for Adopt-A-Blogger #4 I was a little skeptical. After all, how do I qualify as a mentor? Yeah, I’ve been doing this for over a year, but [...]

It’s a tradition in my husband’s family to have an appetizer party a few days before Christmas. I always love finding new recipes to try, and this year, this and my favorite appetizer (salad rolls/fresh spring rolls – whatever you call them, I love them!) were my contributions. I was mentally writing this blog post as I pureed this soup.

Continuing my quest to eat minimally processed foods, I made this frittata with nothing more than eggs, a little olive oil, and some vegetables. Frittata is one of those wonderful foods you can adapt to whatever is in your kitchen, and I’m sure this variety would be divine with [...] I love potatoes in pretty much all forms, and these are no exception. They are very versatile (use whatever spice you like!) and incredibly simple. I made these to go with some black bean burgers and my husband and I basically inhaled the whole batch before the rest of [...] This is a perfect side dish for fall or winter. Sweet potato, purple potato, and carrot, all baked together with shallots, green onions, and a topping of bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Next time I think I might throw some parsnips into the mix too! (adapted from Super Natural [...] |
