Don’t you just love frittatas? They are one of my go-to meals for two reasons… Making a frittata is not only quick and easy (and a dinner that I can manage even on the busiest nights), but it is also a great way to use up leftover veggies and other odds and ends that are [...]

Roasted Eggplant and Zucchini Lasagna Rolls with Pumpkin Bechamel
When life hands you eggplant, make lasagna rolls!
We have gotten lots of eggplant from our CSA this summer. I don’t hate eggplant, but it’s not exactly my favorite food, either. I have made quite a few pasta dishes, casseroles, and quesadillas, but this week I wanted something different. I have made spinach lasagna rolls before, [...]
Simple Tilapia with Zucchini and Tomato Saute
I love to cook, but there is something about Sunday afternoon that just sucks the energy out of me and makes me want to order pizza. After a busy day on Saturday and singing in church on Sunday morning, I am usually ready to take a nap while the hubs watches football (unless the [...]

I just got home from our second vacation of the summer. [...]
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 [...]
CSA Pizza
When posed with the challenge of finding something to make with the remaining veggies from my CSA share last week, I decided to make some pizza. It seemed like a great way to use the remaining zucchini, kale, and cherry tomatoes. Especially since I had all of the ingredients for homemade pizza dough and pizza [...]
Friday Favorites – Episode 17
It’s Friday again, which means it’s time for me to pick my favorite blog posts of the week. I enjoy settling in each evening to read all of the new blog posts in my RSS reader. I start to feel sad when I run out of new posts. This week, however, there seemed to be an [...]
