I don’t know if it has been the heat or just lack of enthusiasm on my part, but I have been having trouble figuring out what to cook lately. I think part of it is the fact that everything I want to eat doesn’t register real well with trying to eat healthy, and the healthy…

Grilled Eggplant and Squash Casserole
I have a bit of a confession to make – I don’t really like the summer. I would love to live in a place where spring lasts until July and then turns instantly into fall. I’m just not a big fan of hot and sticky weather… I’m more of a jeans and sweater girl. That said,…
Mexican Cabbage Rolls
While this dish was inspired by my beef enchilada recipe, I am not going to try to tell you that cabbage rolls and enchiladas are the same thing. That’s like those diet articles that say to substitute carrot sticks for french fries, a bowl of fruit for a chocolate muffin. If you really want the…
Roasted Eggplant and Squash Pasta
During the Penny Pinching Pantry Raid, I was determined to use up the two bags of Wacky Mac (multi-colored rotini-like pasta) that were hanging out in my pantry. I’m not exactly sure what I thought I was going to do with them when I picked up two bags at the store. It was free, though,…
Eat Your Veggies… For Dessert!
Can you think of a better way to eat yellow squash and carrots than in a chocolate cupcake topped with Nutella cream cheese icing? I didn’t think so. August is the very first month of the Nutella Challenge hosted by Bell’ alimento! To get things started, Paula over at Bell’ alimento made a wonderful Nutella…
Tomato and Squash Skillet
Last week, my husband was out of town, so I ended up cooking for myself for a few days. On Wednesday, when I picked up our CSA share, I decided to make myself a quick vegetarian dinner since I had an abundance of veggies from both the CSA and garden that I didn’t want to…
Three weeks down, one to go…
It’s hard to believe that three weeks of the Penny Pinching Pantry Raid are behind me already! While I have had to make a few exceptions along the way for some family events and our camping trip (as I had planned from the beginning), I have managed to stick to the program for the majority of…
Penny Pinching Pantry Raid Week 2 Update
The second week of the Penny Pinching Pantry Raid is just about over. After two weeks, I am starting to get settled in with the challenge, and I think it is getting a bit easier. I really think that I must attribute my success with the challenge to my CSA, though. Without it, I would…
Friday Favorites – Episode 15
It’s Friday again, which means it’s time for the 15th episode of my Friday Favorites! Even after 15 weeks, I still enjoy picking my favorite blog posts each week. Hopefully all of you enjoy reading about my picks each week and aren’t too sick of reading about them! This week the weather has felt unmistakably like…
Asparagus Prosciutto Quesadillas with Squash Fries
When I was at the farmers’ market last week, I picked up a beautiful bunch of asparagus. I was planning to make prosciutto-wrapped asparagus bundles, but I couldn’t decide what to make with them. By the time Sunday evening came around, I had not yet been to the store and had not thawed out anything…
