This week, I went to the wednesday farmer’s market to get sun gold cherry tomatoes and came back instead with a bunch of leeks, an eggplant and some shiitake mushrooms. It’s hard to resist beautiful produce. I used to really hate mushrooms, but Matt loves them, so I’ve been making an effort and warming up [...]

Warm Chickpea Salad
Posted in $, easy, entrees, gluten free, one pan/ pot, quick, salads, sides, vegan, vegetarian on July 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Chickpeas are probably my favorite bean. Although it’s hard for me to play favorites. I threw this together tonight for a potluck. I had planned to make a Sardianian chickpea salad that I had saved the recipe for, but I was in a rush and didn’t want to start up my computer to find it. [...]
Amelia’s Veggie Lasagna
Posted in $$, entrees, not quick, not TOO hard, sides, snacks, something to eat in the morning, vegetarian on May 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This is my favorite lasagna. And lasagna is one of my very favorite foods. I will eat the leftovers for days, for every single meal, until I am scraping the last little bite of noodle out of the corner of the pan with my fork. This particular lasagna is also a great way to trick [...]
Two Lentil Soup

When the weather is dreary (as it now is) there is no food I like better than soup. Lentil soup is one of my favorites. I whipped this one up last night as an alternative to my usual curried lentil soup. It would be great topped with a little shredded Parmesan, but I didn’t have [...]

Another springtime recipe from {f}ood, this recipe would be great paired with yesterday’s spinach salad with sweet pea tendrils and nasturtiums. 1/2 lb macaroni 1/2 lb cheddar cheese, grated 1 1/4 c hot milk 6 tbsp dry bead crumb or 3/4 c fresh bread crumbs 1 medium onion (or 3 or 4 scallions), chopped finely [...]
Chicken Fajitas

This is a variation of a recipe that came (I think) from one of my mom’s Weight Watchers cookbooks. It is a great meal that is easy and relatively quick to put together. This recipe makes 4-6 fajitas, using the large flour tortillas. A folded fajita wouldn’t have shown you what the ingredients look like, [...]
Spinach & Chick Pea Penne
Posted in $, easy, entrees, quick, vegan, vegetarian on April 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I probably ate this three times a week when I was living by myself for a summer. Amazingly, I am not sick of it. It’s a good mix of veggies, grains and beans and goes well with a salad. It also keeps pretty well for leftovers. This recipe should be about 4-6 servings. 1 box [...]
Springtime Chard Tart
Posted in $$, entrees, not quick, not TOO hard, something to eat in the morning, vegetarian on April 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This tart was inspired by my ongoing quest to love dark leafy greens… which was why I had Swiss chard in the first place – the big colorful bunches of it at the farmers’ market were calling out to me to try to like them again. Then, when I got home, I had to figure [...]
Black Bean and Tomato Nachos

The other day, our friends/ neighbors mentioned that they were going to have nachos for dinner, which made me and Matt look at each other and exclaim, “Nachos!” We had forgotten about them for a long time, but remembered at that moment that they are oh-so good. This is one way we make ‘em. It’s [...]
Tofu Thai Curry

This would also be good with shrimp in place of the tofu. oil (we used olive, but usually Asian recipes call for canola) 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped 3 tbsp red thai curry paste 1 block of extra firm tofu, drained and pressed to get rid of extra moisture 1 small onion, sliced lengthwise 1 [...]
