Teething Baby, Gratitude and Pumpkin Curry

We’ve been having some rough nights here lately. I’m running on probably 4 hours a night sleep, all broken up into little chunks. Ruby is teething. She’s been teething for months but is only now showing any signs of discomfort. Her bottom two front teeth came in last month with no issue. She’s now working…

Steve’s Pesto Pasta

So, this post is actually from last weekend. I started on it and another, but was so busy last weekend that I never had the opportunity to finish them. And I really wanted to share this post because it’s about Steve’s pesto, which was so delicious. So delicious. Last Sunday I got a special treat….

Curried Lentils

Lentils are an incredibly satisfying and nourishing food. They are also extremely versatile. You can add them to soups, use them for a vegan taco filling, make fritters out them and use them to help bind a veggie burger.

I told my boyfriend I needed some text for this recipe, so this is what he wrote about this meal:

Black Bean Quinoa Salad

I asked my boyfriend for some text because he was strutting around after I used some text in another blog post. He happily obliged me. He spoils me rotten:

Ratatouille Pasta

Steve decided he was going to make me a special dinner this past Sunday because I did well on a recent test. Not just any test, but a test that is the beginning of the next phase of my life, which includes going back to school. So, it’s a big deal. Anyway, he was being…

Greek Salad with Farro and Marinated Tofu

I just love all of the flavors in a Greek salad. The crisp sweetness of the peppers, cucumbers, red onion and tomatoes as well as the tangy, salty olives and creamy feta cheese are a joy for the taste buds. Not to mention the deliciousness of a good garlicky, lemony Greek dressing with fresh oregano….
