Yumm-o-licious! This great dish can be served as a main, meatless meal, paired with a salad. OR you can cut this into about 16 squares and serve as a hearty appetizer. Every time I have ever made this everyone goes crazy for it. Once again, I used creamy Gruyere cheese, crunchy pine nuts, sauteed spinach and [...]
Spinach, Mushroom, Tomato and Cheese Strata
Here is another delicious breakfast strata. Instead of using the prosciutto and pesto, I used sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and mushrooms. This is perfect for the brunch table and hearty enough to serve to your girlfriends in the evening, paired with a nice big green salad. Your vegetarian friends will love you for making it meatless. [...]
Roasted Butternut Squash, Corn and Spinach Enchiladas
Oh my gosh! These enchiladas were so dang good! I loved the velvety smoothness of the butternut squash paired with the creamy Gruyere cheese. To give this enchilada a little bit more “chunk” appeal I added roasted corn, sauteed spinach and roasted yams. This dish is nothing short of spectacular and loaded with tons of [...]
Warm Pasta Salad with Roasted Vegetables
I love when autumn arrives. I totally change how we eat when the evenings become a little cooler. I put away the grill and start thinking a little differently on how I will be preparing our meals. This is a great little pasta salad. I prefer to serve it warm or room temperature, but it [...]
Orzo with Everything
This salad is just bursting with amazing flavors and textures. Unfortunately, I didn’t get my usual step-by-step photos in; however, this is a very straight forward recipe. Just boil, chop and toss. This is the perfect salad to feed a large group, take to a pot-luck or picnic. You can also add in chicken or [...]
Zucchini Tart with Feta and Brown Rice Crust

The original recipe uses puff pastry for the crust. I thought I’d try to be a [...]
Spinach in Puff Pastry
I love all of Ina Garten’s recipes, and this one is my most favorite. This Spinach in Puff Pastry makes for a delicious appetizer or a meat-free meal paired with a salad. Really, you just can’t go wrong with this delicious recipe. What’s not to love here. I think that the hardest part of this [...]
Vegetarian Barley-Black Bean Burritos from the Crockpot
I really feel like I under-use my crockpot, but quite honestly, the reason I don’t use it is because I haven’t run into a lot of delicious tasting crockpot recipes. Then I remembered this gem of a recipe. Not only is it delicious, but it is perfect for those meatless Mondays. Or how about taking this [...]
Vegetarian Portobello Wellingtons
Even if you aren’t a vegetarian you will love this dish. Tender puff pastry encases a creamy vegetable saute with a beefy portobello mushroom. This is perfect for your vegetarian guests at your next dinner party or for impressing your husband on any given meatless monday! The portobello mushroom really gives this entree a “toothy” [...]
Chipotle Bean Burritos
