Summer is quickly coming to an end around our house. The weather is slightly cooler, the anticipation of school is in the air and oh yeah, I’m having a baby this week. Nothing like adding another little one to your brood to make you realize those long leisurely summer days are over!:) It’s a bittersweet…

Baked Spaghetti with Roasted Vegetables and Mozzarella
So this recipe was inspired by two things. First, my mom’s spaghetti bake. I remember she would make it pretty faithfully for Sunday lunch, have folks over after church and serve it alongside a green salad and garlic bread. I don’t remember quite how she made it but it looked very similar to this. I’m…
Panko Crusted Salmon and Warm French Lentils
It’s been a long hiatus since I last blogged about food. To be honest, I haven’t been upright for more than 8 weeks so the thought of cooking and food in general has not been appetizing (very sad for a foodie). My kids have watched more than their half hour allotment of television and the…
Meatless Monday – Lentil Rolls
I broke a cardinal rule tonight. I made a separate meal for my kids. I always swore I would never be the mom who is a short order cook, trying to make sure my kids will eat something. Anything. So far, in the 3 1/2 years of motherhood, my kids have done pretty darn well. …
Skillet Lasagna
I adapted this recipe from the Food Network Magazine Great Easy Meals cookbook that I recently borrowed from the library. It has 250 recipes and most of them look really easy including this one. I love that it is a one-pan meal although don’t be fooled, it does still make a lot of dirty dishes!:)…
A Food Dilemma
A couple at church had their fifth (!) baby this past week. I volunteered to take a meal to them. I was told they were vegetarian. No problem, I have some vegetarian meals under my belt. Then I found out they also don’t eat dairy. Uh oh. Most of my vegetarian meals involve some form…
Vegetable Soup
I’ve been on a mission to include one vegetarian meal into our weekly menu. I’ve got black beans in the crock pot simmering away currently as I blog. If I were a little more punctual, this recipe would have been a great Meatless Monday post but I can’t seem to get it all done in…
Guest Post: Spinach Lasagna
Had I posted this a day earlier, it would have made for a great Meatless Monday post! Oh well. So for all you veg heads out there, here you go! I can’t take credit for this recipe. My sweet friend (and neighbor!) brought this scrumptious lasagna over last week. I love how light it is;…
Indian Cooking Class – Part I
Two gals from church have been wanting me to teach them how to prepare an Indian meal. They were relentless in their persistence and yesterday we finally held our class.:) Between the three of us, it took four and half hours to prepare the meal. Indian food is delicious but certainly is time consuming! Here…
Meatless Monday
It’s been a while since we’ve done a Meatless Monday. I love vegetarian meals because they are so easy and you get your protein and vegetables all in one dish! I adapted this recipe to suit my tastes (it was originally meant to be burritos but I prefer enchiladas). We had these along with Spanish…
