Sometimes I have a clear cut idea of exactly what I am going to do when I attempt a new recipe…  Other times, I just have a general concept, and I just go with the flow as I’m cooking.  This recipe was a result of one of those times!

Spicy Black Beans

My husband “doesn’t like black beans.”  At least, that’s what he thought.

Here is another vegetarian dinner that I like to make. It’s not a quick meal to make, but if you can spare the time, it’s definitely worth it!  You can play around with the roasted vegetables and pick ones that you like – bell peppers, mushrooms, and zucchini are my favorite.
Ingredients:

3 small zucchini, cut into [...]

Asian Inspired Vegetable Stir Fry

I try to cook a few vegetarian meals each week. Sometimes it can be difficult to come up with new, flavorful, and satisfying recipes that both my husband and I will enjoy.  This vegetable stir fry is filling, because it’s high in fiber, and also very flavorful.  I have spiced things up with some of my [...]
