And now, for something different. This may very well be the most out-of-my-element recipe I've ever made. Was it difficult? Not really. Was it something I'd ever make had I not been inspired? Probably not. It would be a completely vegan side dish had I not used sour cream in the avocado cream sauce. You… Continue reading Butternut Squash with Mushroom Stuffing

Lemon Basil Pasta Salad
It's been a long, fun-filled last two weeks. Rob & I just got home on Tuesday, and after three days back at work I'm back to this lovely corner of the internet I call home. We roadtripped to Montana to meet with my family in Great Falls, traveled to Havre for my uncle's wedding, then… Continue reading Lemon Basil Pasta Salad
Spinach & Mushroom Breakfast Pie
A quick trip to Kansas was in store for Rob & I this last weekend. Rob's best friend was getting married, so we drove up on Friday to make it to the rehearsal and wedding on Saturday. Though we didn't stay for long, it was nice to take a few days off and go somewhere,… Continue reading Spinach & Mushroom Breakfast Pie
Stuffed Poblano Breakfast Bake
When you're limiting your diet to lean proteins like chicken, turkey, and seafood---trying to think of new meals centered around those three things can get tough. There's only so much you can do to chicken before you start to get burned out and bored. Seafood can get expensive, so that's a once-in-a-blue-moon type dinner. And… Continue reading Stuffed Poblano Breakfast Bake
Portobello White Pizzas
Call it what you will. One of the greatest inventions of all time. The best thing since sliced bread. A food everyone can agree on. A food with thousands of different versions to choose from. A great battle between Chicago and New York. Pizza. It's the one food in our culture that not a single… Continue reading Portobello White Pizzas
Spinach & Pepper Breakfast Sandwiches
My breakfast routine has stayed the same for about a year and a half now. I eat a sandwich with egg, Canadian bacon, and cheese that I make in a little breakfast sandwich maker. For a year and a half, that's the first thing I ate to kick start my day. I finally got burned… Continue reading Spinach & Pepper Breakfast Sandwiches
Edamame Succotash
It took me 30 minutes to break into my car this morning. Not actually break in. Break through. My car was encapsulated in a thick sheet of ice. I couldn't even get the door open! I was locked out by mother nature. I finally was able to yank my door open and get my ice… Continue reading Edamame Succotash
Wild Rice Pilaf with Sweet Potato & Mushrooms
My pantry is inundated with half-filled containers of random grains, flours, and meals. I've got pearl couscous I need to use, about a cup of quinoa left, and some semolina flour I have no idea what to do with. Such is the life of a random foodie. I get inspired by a recipe and I… Continue reading Wild Rice Pilaf with Sweet Potato & Mushrooms
Mexican Street Corn Style Grilled Zucchini
A coworker and I were talking about our favorite foods this morning. "My favorite food is Mexican," my coworker, Alana, said. I couldn't really pinpoint down a favorite food, per se, but I could whittle it down to two different types of foods: Mexican and Asian. If you look at most of the recipes I've… Continue reading Mexican Street Corn Style Grilled Zucchini
Chile Relleno Soup
The lack of soups in my kitchen has been surprising. It's probably because we haven't had a bitterly freezing cold snap yet this fall/winter. When it's not cold, I'm not a fan of soups. I'm glad I made this soup this weekend, though. I had my final (!!!) deep cleaning on my teeth yesterday and… Continue reading Chile Relleno Soup
