I can say without hesitation that my favorite food is broccoli – I’ll sit down with a bowl of raw or steamed broccoli for any meal of the week. While I understand that this veggie love certainly isn’t common, I do think that in roasted form, broccoli has the potential to be universally loved. Picky…

Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower
You guys know me and roasted veggies, it’s an obsession at this point. One dish that has been coming up a lot on social media recently has been Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower, but my husband doesn’t care for buffalo sauce. Last week he was out for the evening and I had some cauliflower handy, so I…
January Dinner Party Menu: Italian
Last week we invited four friends over for a casual dinner party with a small twist – instead of my husband and me doing all the cooking, we bought the ingredients, then invited everyone over a little early to prepare the meal together. Our theme was Italian cuisine, and we went with four courses: Appetizer…
Vegetarian Chili and Cornbread Dumplings
Ooooooof has it ever been chilly here in Minneapolis. We’ve had below zero temperatures every day for a week, not to mention a good six inches of snow! Mayhem has also been terribly upset (exhibit A, exhibit B) and has been taking every opportunity to let us know that he wasn’t prepared for this. Usually…
Roasted Cauliflower and Sauteed Green Beans

Then again, I could eat my weight in sauteed vegetables too. And, the same applies to raw broccoli and hummus, my favorite snack…

Tabouli Salad Wraps
I absolutely love Mediterranean food, so the other night when I came in from the garden with a bunch of parsley, a big bowl of cherry tomatoes, and no plan for dinner except that vegan felt right, I knew exactly what needed to happen. Tabouli salad makes a great item to have around for lunchtime…
Roasted Red Cabbage
Sometimes, all I want for dinner is a big plate of vegetables. Usually it’s broccoli or brussels sprouts, but tonight the only vegetable that wasn’t spoken for was a wilted head of red cabbage, so I had to make do. These are fabulous, even when made with the wilty cabbage from the back of the…
