We don’t always do the #MeatlessMonday vegetarian night each week, but I do try and make it a regular occurrence around here. We’re definitely meat eaters, but it’s nice to mix things up now and then. And I love using quinoa for vegetarian meals because it’s packed with protein and great nutrition. Add in some chickpeas and you’ve got a very hearty bowl.

So here’s a great, quick and easy side dish recipe. Start with a head of cauliflower. Remove all of the stem and leaves and then just carefully cut it into large florets. It’s a little different than broccoli in that the pieces sort of stick together more. You’ll want to slice the florets into about 1/4 inch slices. See in this picture below, it’s basically just one piece of stem....

4.43 35 Published Jan 16, 2017, Updated Sep 16, 2021 I’m honestly not sure if I waited until the next day or if I simply rushed home and tried my hand at making a tofu scramble that afternoon, but I remember being shocked by how easy it was.

This recipe is from Sally’s Baking addiction and I’ve only made minor tweaks to take the calories down from the original just a bit. We’re going to use a few tricks and substitutions to achieve maximum yum factor with minimum calories. First up is a little applesauce in place of butter or oil. I don’t recommend this all the time (because hello, butter), but in this case it totally works....

If you’ve never had a pudding cake before, you’re going to think it’s super weird. You make a simple batter, much like any other cake or brownie, but that’s where the similarities stop. After that layer is spread in a pan (or in this case- the slow cooker) you sprinkle dry ingredients on top and you don’t stir them in at all. It feels even stranger when you then pour boiling water over the whole thing and once again, leave it just like that....

Anyone else been into trying ALL different kinds of burgers this summer? Confession time again: I don’t do ground beef burgers. Haven’t had one in years. It’s nothing against the burger. Who doesn’t love a burger? I eat a veggie burger almost daily for lunch (here are my simplified veggie burgers that are a cinch to put together), and I adore a good black bean burger, turkey burger and of course, my cheddar chicken burgers with all those little cubes of cheese in the mix!...

This umami rich Sri Lankan style green bean stir fry is easy and packed with flavor! I loved eating green beans as a kid, and that’s mostly because of the way in which it was cooked. I’ve known a lot of picky eaters who made exceptions for this flavor-packed green bean stir fry. Is this a green bean curry? Yes, but also different from a traditional green bean curry. Unlike most curries which usually have some type of gravy/sauce, this is a dry preparation with no gravy....

In recent years it’s become VERY popular in western diets not only because of its nutritional content, but also because it’s an incredible faux meat substitute for dishes like BBQ pulled pork.

4.3 70 Published Apr 06, 2016, Updated Jul 06, 2022 One bite and I was quickly daydreaming about spring and summer produce.

4.27 41 Published Jan 03, 2018, Updated Aug 30, 2023 Most people serve this breakfast up in two dishes, but apparently I’m not your typical person because in an effort not to dirty up two dishes, I started combining them into one bowl. Yup, cooked oatmeal, scrambled egg whites and a fried egg… all in one bowl. It’s a thing! Combining eggs with oatmeal isn’t anything new considering savory oats have been around for ages and whipping egg whites into oats is totally a thing (i....

I know there are a lot of thoughts about what teachers really want and I think a lot of the points they make are valid–teachers probably get more mugs, crafts, and knick knacks than they know what to do with (although I’m sure there are teachers out there who love those things.) I’ve never been a teacher, but I have a sister who is a teacher, many, many friends who are teachers, and I’m a general lover of giving and receiving gifts, so I hope I have some idea of what teachers might like....
