Friday Favorites – Episode 118

Happy first Friday of 2012! I’m still adjusting to the fact that the holidays are over, and the new year has arrived already.  Where did the time go? While I’m still trying to figure out where the holidays went, I can say that I’ve had my fill of cookies and sweets.  I didn’t make any crazy resolutions about…

Challenge: Mise en Place for Vegetables and Fresh Herbs (Kitchen Bootcamp June/July)

It’s time to announce the next Kitchen Bootcamp challenge! I appreciate everyone’s patience last month with my extended challenge… Since I’m still not completely back on my feet (especially in the kitchen!), it has been a huge help to me to extend the challenge a bit.  So, I am going to do the same thing…

Balsamic Roasted Vegetables (WFMW)

Sometimes I get so caught up in worrying about the main dish that I’m making for dinner that I tend to neglect the sides. Can you relate?

With Thanksgiving around the corner, you’ve probably already thought about the perfect recipe for a roast turkey and may have already settled on the perfect stuffing, too. But, if you’re much like me, you may have neglected to worry about what vegetables to make. Unfortunately, they don’t prepare and cook themselves.

So, this week, I thought I’d share my super simple recipe (if you can really call it a recipe) for Balsamic roasted vegetables. It’s my go to recipe for vegetables in the fall and winter (and once in a while the spring and summer, too!)… It’s easy to throw together and can just hang out in the oven while your other dishes are cooking/baking. Plus, it’s a favorite with my family and friends. In fact, my husband actually gets excited when he sees me prepping roasted vegetables. Who would have thought?

Kitchen Bootcamp Roundup – Vegetables

It’s that time again… Time for this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp roundup! This post is a few days later than I had planned due to my trip to Seattle for IFBC.  While I had the greatest intentions of being able to post the roundup right after my return, I decided to post a few thoughts on…

Challenge: Vegetables (Kitchen Bootcamp August) + Tomato Eggplant Frittata

My husband and I have really cut back on the amount of meat that we eat, and we eat our share of meatless meals each week.  I don’t know about you, but I find it much easier to eat vegetarian in the summer when I have a lot of fresh vegetables at my disposal.  Between…

Spicy Sweet Shepherds Pie Stuffed Peppers

I often find myself paging through my cookbooks trying to come up with ideas of what to make for dinner during the week.  I rarely end up actually following a recipe, but I often use the recipes as inspiration.  This stuffed pepper recipe was inspired by a shepherds pie stuffed pepper recipe I saw in…

Friday Favorites – Episode 6

In honor of Earth Day, I thought it was only appropriate that I pick my favorite Earth Day themed posts from the past week.  I think it’s great that everyone gets into the spirit of Earth Day and tries to conserve energy and resources…  I just always wonder if Earth Day resolutions are a lot…
