Whole Wheat Chocolate Zucchini Bundt Cake

2011-08_30-ChocolateZucchiniCake-250px

I love bundt cakes… They are kind of like the tom boy of the cake world, but in a really good way. It’s not much of a secret to anyone who knows me that I can be a bit high maintenance. I’m not much of a tom boy at all. I am the girl who…

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…

Chipotle Chicken Stuffed Tomatoes

We’ve had some beautiful tomatoes from our CSA this summer. I haven’t really cooked with them much, though… They seem to get eaten up before I ever have a chance to use them.  So, I was thrilled to have a few tomatoes on hand the other day for lunch – especially on a hot summer…

Friday Favorites – Episode 61

It’s time again for my Friday Favorites!  I’ve been busy this week getting ready to head out to the Big Summer Potluck tomorrow. Next week is going to be busy for me, too, so I’ve been trying to work ahead on blog posts and recipes. At this point, I am starting to feel a bit weary and…

Savory Zucchini Corn Muffins

Some days I hate to think about how much sugar I have consumed. I don’t sit around snacking on sugar packets and candy all day, but I definitely get my fair share. From a sweet bread for breakfast (often topped with Nutella) to a glass (or two) of lemonade in the afternoon and an ice cream…

Turkey Tacos

I first started cooking for myself when I was in college and lived in an on-campus townhouse with 3 other roommates.  Taco night was always a big hit. We would pick up one of those taco kits – you know the ones, with taco shells, salsa, and a taco seasoning packet. All we had to…

Caramelized Onion and Zucchini Frittata

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…

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 Ravens…

Friday Favorites – Episode 23

This week’s Friday Favorites have a definite theme – baking.  And honestly, what’s wrong with that? I apologize to those of you who may be on a diet or watching what you eat.  However, I am a firm believer in eating what you want – in moderation.  While I am definitely not a runway model,…
