Wow. I really wasn’t expecting the first week of school to be so crazy. That, combined with the fact our house is going on the market this week, has kept me insanely busy.
Lots of cleaning and reading, in addition to very little interesting cooking hasn’t inspired any blog posts, but I’ll try anyway.
Last weekend I [...]

Black Bean and Cheese Enchiladas… and a Pantry Makeover
Friday was one of those days where I came home and everything, absolutely everything, seemed disorganized, cluttered and messy to me. I immediately attacked the pantry. I actually consider myself a pretty organized person. I love lists, schedules, plans of all kinds, but my kitchen is a completely different story. My pantry especially. It’s deep, [...]

Thickburger
I was craving a burger for the past few days. I was originally just going to buy some veggie burgers, because I like them, but I can’t justify pending $1 per burger! So I turned to something I make a lot: black bean burgers! I make each of them with a full serving of black [...]

Black-Eyed Pea Fritters
Brent’s inability to fully review and select a recipe and realize it’s complexity struck again. This one required a new purchase and frying! I suck at frying. This week he picked Black-Eyed Pea Fritters from Vegan Soul Kitchen.
The making of this recipe required me buying a new kitchen appliance (not that I mind). [...]

An Indian Feast
Brent and I love Indian food, but, much like our love of sushi, it is relegated to the “restaurant only” category because I’ve never really been able to replicate it at home. Although, to be fair, I haven’t tried all that hard because I like our local Indian restaurant quite a bit. I guess I [...]

Mini Peanut Butter Frosted Cupcakes
I’ve created something very dangerous….
But let me back up. I’ve been inspired by those in the salad challenge to add more veggies on a daily basis, so for lunch I had a big salad with a glob of guacamole on it instead of dressing. Incidentally, my avocado obsession has been taken to a whole new [...]

Burrito Sandwich
Sometime last week Brent sent me an email that said
these interest me: http://www.delish.com/recipefinder/tijuana-torta-recipe-9868
Normally it’s like pulling teeth to get Brent to help plan the menu, so I’m not one to complain when he offers up an idea unprompted. I didn’t follow the recipe exactly, but I got the basic gist of it. Let’s [...]

More Stuffed Peppers
I guess I wasn’t really thinking clearly when planning the grocery list for this week’s meals. I found this recipe for stuffed poblanos. I was so excited as I was making them. They smells great. They looked so yummy while they were baking. So I was kind of surprised when I pulled my beautiful creation [...]

Stuffed Bell Peppers
I am draaaggging this morning, but I’m not quite sure why. I just feel out of it and foggy. I probs just need caffeine. I haven’t had any since Monday! Yikes.
Anyway, for dinner last night, I made another Isa recipe, this one from Vegan with a Vengeance. It was the Stuffed Bell Peppers with Quinoa, [...]

Leftover Burger and a New Side
Tonight’s dinner was leftover black bean burgers,which were frozen and then reheated tonight. Our buns were freshly made bagels, which I’ll post about later.
The side dish was something new for us. I’m making a dish that uses half of the cauliflower later in the week, and wanted to use the other half as a side. [...]
