Dinner for a Carnivore and a Vegetarian
Yup! That title says it all. I talk about what I feed people when I have them for dinner since I don’t eat meat.

Butternut Squash Black Bean Enchiladas
The original recipe is for enchiladas. I had some sorry issues making actual enchiladas so mine is more a casserole. You can find the original recipe at edible perspective. Butternut Squash Black Bean Enchilada Casserole 4-8, 6” soft corn tortillas 1 1/2 cups [1 can] black beans, drained + rinsed 1… Continue reading Butternut Squash Black Bean Enchiladas
Meal Planning
I feel like I have been floundering by not planning out weekly meals. I have not ever planned all the meals of the day but I do plan out dinner for the week. Today, inspired by Lindsay at The Lean Green Bean, I set about to get back to meal planning – and as is… Continue reading Meal Planning
Year in Review
I decided last year or the year below that I would do a different type of year in review. Below I have listed my favorite blog post for each of the 12 months in 2012. I did not have much trouble, except in July – where I picked two – and in December – where… Continue reading Year in Review
Spicy Bean Soup with Wild Rice
I am all for trying new things. I am still finding, other than beans, my go-to item as a vegetarian. Even this recipe has beans in it. I generally go to chick peas or black beans so like when things get mixed up with white beans. A warning on this recipe: I needed to add… Continue reading Spicy Bean Soup with Wild Rice

Cheesy Quinoa Bites
Back in February, my 25 year old daughter – who is a teacher and currently looking for a job – asked me if I would go meatless with her for Lent. She was more concerned about the fact that she would not make it 7 weeks if she didn’t have some help with preparing meals.… Continue reading Cheesy Quinoa Bites
Sweet Potato Lentil Soup
My original plan for Lent – my daughter and I are both going meatless for the days of Lent – was to make soup on Monday that could be used for lunches the entire week. Of course, I presumed Lent would be cool weather time as it is still winter and I live in Upstate… Continue reading Sweet Potato Lentil Soup
Hummus
Recently, a good friend threw a surprise 50th birthday party for her husband. As part of the “inside” group, I was asked to supply hummus and dipping items for said party. Approximately, 120 people responded that they would be attending and this threw me into a tizzy. I was totally unsure how to decide how… Continue reading Hummus
