Baked Sweet Potato Chunks with Oregano

Hello and Happy Friday! I love going to others peoples’ houses for dinner because you just never know when you’ll be introduced to something that you wouldn’t have thought of otherwise. So my friend and I used to coordinate dinners while our husbands were out of town for work and I went over to her…

Black Bean and Veggie Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Potty training. That basically sums up our weekend. This is my third kiddo going through potty training and I’ll have to say it is going really well! We talked about it with him for several weeks before and told him when he turned 3, we wouldn’t be using diapers anymore. I think all that preparation paid off,…

Carrot Soup {Vegan, Gluten Free}

Carrot Soup {Vegan, Gluten Free}

Sometimes eating healthy food that you know is good for you makes it taste even better. I kind of feel that way about this soup. I mean it’s not a cheeseburger, but it makes me feel good and healthy. That’s pretty important in my opinion! I get carrots in my CSA box every week. Giant…

Easy Tofu Scramble

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Mori-nu. The opinions and text are all mine. One of my favorite ways to cook with tofu is this tofu scramble. I started making it years ago when I did my vegan experiment and now, though not vegan, enjoy making it on a regular basis….

Grilled Vegetable Sandwich with Pesto & Garlic Yogurt Dressing

September 8, 2014 by Melanie 15 Comments

Grilled Vegetable Sandwich with Pesto & Garlic Yogurt Dressing

A hearty vegetable sandwich goes down as one of my top favorite sandwiches ever. There is so much you can do with the flavors in terms of seasoning, fresh herbs, dressing, etc. This one has grilled eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper and red onion and fresh tomato, basil and arugula. Then the amazing yogurt dressing paired…

Asian Noodle Salad With Peanut Dressing

Asian Noodle Salad With Peanut Dressing

The fun thing about being in charge of the food around here is that I get to cook whatever I feel like eating! Pasta with veggies tossed in a peanut dressing. That’s what I wanted. As I mentioned before, we had company over a couple weeks ago (our good friends from Texas) and when hosting any…

Homemade Coconut Cream Pie Larabars

Hi friends! It’s good to be back! I ended up taking 2 weeks off of blogging after my husband came home from his business travel. He’s had a light work schedule since he got back so I couldn’t get enough family time. It’s funny how it took no time at all for things to go…

Asian Roasted Broccoli & Red Peppers

Asian Roasted Broccoli & Red Peppers

Happy Monday everyone! What kind of food blogger am I blogging Asian inspired vegetables on Cinco de Mayo?! Oops. If it makes it any better we did have Mexican food for dinner. Well I spoke too soon about it being almost summer because it was in the 50s/60s and rainy all weekend. We really didn’t…

Hello friends! Quick visit today as I take a break from Spring Break activities- the elementary schools here in Washington (state) have their break so late here, but the weather is truly spring-like so I am happy! Here is the scenario, it’s Saturday afternoon and someone invites you to a BBQ dinner for the following…
