Another Meatless Monday

  Everyone seems to be spiralizing veggies these days.  It’s easy and healthy.  Instead of having just squash as the ‘noodles’, I like to add in a little spaghetti as well.  There is nothing wrong with a little pasta.  Good carbs are important to have in your diet.  So I use whole wheat spaghetti but […]

Leeks and Tomato Sauce

This is a sauce you have to make because it is sooo versatile!  In the picture I’ve smothered salmon fillets with it.  What I had leftover, I heated up the next morning and used with fried eggs, toast and avocado. Yummy!  It would be great with potatoes, chicken, etc.  Awesome sauce! To those of you […]

Cabbage Slaw for Tacos

Tuesday night is usually tacos at my house.  What kind you make (fish, chicken, beef), you need to make this slaw to go on top!  It’s easy, healthy and oh, so good! What you’ll need: Head of green cabbage – shredded 2 Green onions – chopped Fresh jalapeno pepper – deseeded and finely chopped – […]

Salt and Vinegar Veggie Chips

These chips are a great snack or a fun side to a meal and they are really simple! You’ll need 4/5 large carrots (not the little ones in the bag), 3 parsnips, distilled white vinegar and sea salt. Heat oven to 300F.  Coat baking sheet(s) with oil spray. Here’s the must for this recipe – […]

Taco Salad

TACO SALAD Here is a really quick weeknight dinner. For the protein, I used a black bean burger that I made (recipe for that at a later date).  To make this super easy, buy Morning Star Black Bean burger in the freezer section and cook as directed. Shred some romaine lettuce, add fresh tomatoes, chopped […]

Homemade Vegetable Soup

During the winter months, I love having soup for lunch.  I’ve been making this veggie soup for years.  There is no real recipe and it’s a little different every time I make it.  Keep that in mind as I try to put ingredients and amounts in writing! Things you’ll need: Small Onion Garlic clove minced […]

Sunday night pizza

We have pizza most Sunday nights.  I try to vary it so we don’t get bored.  Tonight was a caramelized onion mushroom pizza. I use the pizza crust below (from the freezer section in Whole Foods) b/c it’s very thin and whole wheat.  But use whatever you like or make your own if you’re ambitious! […]

Meatless Monday Pasta

In this household we are what they call ‘pescetarians’.  This means we eat fish and seafood in addition to veggies but no meat.  Awhile ago I went with the popular ‘Meatless Monday’ theme.  Most other days of the week we will  have some sort of seafood/fish but on Mondays it’s pure vegetarian. So today is […]

Shrimp stir fry

Tonight I opened the fridge to see what I could make.  I had  asparagus, snow peas, and mushrooms that needed to be used.  Immediately it became a stir fry night!  I happened to have some frozen shrimp in the freezer but you could make it with chicken or just veggies if you wanted. I thawed the […]

Salad Tower

Celebrating warmer weather with the making of this salad! The next time you go to Costco, pick up a container of crabmeat (it’s pasteurized) and you’re on your way to making this yummy recipe. Use your favorite lettuces, grape tomatoes, and cucumbers for the salad. Empty the crab out of the container and then cut […]
