Vegan Peas and Pas(ta)

May 31, 2018Leave a comment

This was a first for me! While working on the menu for an upcoming yoga retreat (which I am catering), I was told the meals not only needed to be vegetarian but that one participant doesn't eat cheese! Bottom line, I had to come up with a substitute for parmesan which is featured in one … Continue reading Vegan Peas and Pas(ta)

Bucatini Carbonara with Peas

May 16, 20182 Comments

I love to eat but truth be told, I love to feed people just as much! Tonight we hosted my neighbor and her three small kids for supper. Her husband has been away all week traveling for business and I figured she could use a night "out"! I made two pasta dishes; one for the kids and … Continue reading Bucatini Carbonara with Peas

Chicken with Peas and Potatoes

I saw Nigella Lawson make a similar dish on the Today Show last week and decided to put my own spin on it!  What's great about this dish, besides its amazing flavor, is its simplicity.  It's not only easy to make (requiring one large bowl and one baking dish), the result is a simple meat/potato/vegetable ensemble that … Continue reading Chicken with Peas and Potatoes

This is a salad made with the week’s leftover veggies including roasted brussel sprouts, blanched asparagus and half an avocado mashed with two HB eggs! All atop a bed of kale (of course😋) with a sprinkle of EBTB, craisins for color and walnuts for added crunch!! #randomcombo #saladideas #fridgecleanout #leftovers #repurposed #addeggs #andavocado #kaledit #gogreen

Sunday suppers in our house are boisterous, nourishing, family filled events not without strong opinions, satisfying food and old fashioned connection. We laugh, we’re loud, we don’t always share the same POV, but we pass our plates and fill our bellies side by side each Sunday! Feeding my peeps, it’s what I do best!! #sundaysupper #whatsfordinner #familyfood #feedyourpeeps #penne #porkroast #brusselsprouts #kalesalad #grandmasdishes
This may be my new fave salad; crunchy kale, crisp apples, craisins, walnuts, feta and rotisserie chicken in a light homemade mustard vinaigrette. With everything on hand it came together in minutes! Plus, kale can hold up to dressing overnite so it’s even yummy the next day if you want to make a big batch ahead!! #kaledit #crunchy #saladideas #makeahead #mealprep #lunchtime #atmydesk #homemade
It wouldn’t be a snow day if there wasn’t something coming out of the oven! Quick Quiche with asparagus/potato/ham/jack cheese. Smells divine and gets everyone outta bed!! #quickie #quicherecipe #pitterpatter #fakesnowday #feedyourpeeps #snowfun
Tonight: Turkey Burgers with a twist! I used mashed seasoned chickpeas and za’atar seasoning to add fiber and amazing flavor to the patties (see stories), then topped them with a whipped lemon/feta spread. Used the same spice on the blistered shishitos and tossed the fries in a little truffle oil. Dinner time!! #comeandgetit #turkeyburgers #greekstyle #chickpeasplease #zaatar #shishitospeppers #trufflefries
Three cheers for @traderjoes Limone Alfredo sauce! Pairs perfectly with their organic fettuccine, sweet peas and shrimp!! #dinnerinajiffy #limone #fettuccine #alfredo #shrimps #easypeasy
Mom’s Diner in full effect on this Valentine’s Day morn!! Eggs Benny for the hubs and the girl, chocolate chip pancakes with bacon for the boy. #feedyourpeeps #foodislove #lovemypeeps #eggsbenny #pancakeslover #bemyvalentine
I’m obsessed with these sprouts y’all!! Not just because I grew them myself in my garden window, but because they make everything you put them on healthier and taste crunchier! Checkout my lunch today made with last night’s leftover homemade white chicken chili with a sprinkle of kale sprouts on top!! #dontthatlookgood #sogood #goodforyou #sprouts #sprouted #kaledit #edibleart #homegrownfood #tastetherainbow

When in doubt, Shakshuka. It’s so easy and tasty and has become one of my favorite comforting foods. I created today’s using left over tomato sauce, salsa, curry paste and fresh kale. It’s simple, fast and totally satisfying!! #doityourway #shakshuka #curryflavor #eggscellent #kaledit #comfortzone
