I have been exploring more vegan dishes lately. Not because I want to become a vegan. I like eggs and cheese too much for that. Since I have recently become dairy-free, the best place to look for recipes is with the vegans. I will never give up all of my animal products, but they do [...]

Mediterranean Lentils
I will admit, I wanted to do something easy this week. Lentils are always a good choice for that. When I ran into a recipe from Better Homes and Gardens for Mediterranean Lentils, I was intrigued. Vegetarian, cold, and healthy. Perfect for Summer, and of course, easy. What was interesting was that the stats online [...]
To’Fish Fillet
I would have never been inspired to make this dish if it wasn't for my trip to Denver recently. I'm talking about my wonderful meals at City O' City. I've had plenty of the type of fried fish fillet sandwich with cheese and soft breading we know and love. I'm not ashamed to admit that [...]
Brick Lane Burger
Yes, another veggie burger recipe. I have been running into a bunch of them to try. I just can't help myself. This burger recipe is an Indian inspired burger recipe called the Brick Lane burger from Jamie Oliver. One thing I liked about right off the bat is that it was already gluten free. It [...]
Lentil, Beet and Buckwheat Burgers
America's Test Kitchen has done it again with a burger recipe that is a veggie burger that looks like meat. No, it's not an impossible burger, but a burger made with beets. If your first thought is that beets are yucky, just wait until you try these burgers. I don't care for beets myself, but [...]
Turkey Pho
Now that I have that lovely turkey frame, I needed something fun to do with it. I am surprised I never though of Pho. Pho (that's pronounced like duh, not like go) is a great brothy comforting soup that is spicy and meaty and perfect for a turkey frame. When looking for a recipe to [...]
Turkey Asado
I decided to take a turkey out of the freezer this week. I have two turkeys in my freezer. It was hard to pass up 37 cents a pound around Thanksgiving. Now I need to make space. A turkey takes a lot of space. I am going to start out by deconstructing the turkey. If [...]
Chili Colorado
I saw this recipe demonstrated on Bon Appetit's YouTube page and knew I had to try it. I have more meat to deal with in the freezer, so this was the perfect recipe. I am taking a recipe from Chili Pepper Madness and making some adaptations. This includes making this in a slow cooker. The [...]
Healthy Cornbread Salad
I'm going to take on last hurrah with the oven before it gets too hot. This recipe is a complete remake of Chili Cornbread Salad from Taste of Home. I had a feeling if I just replaced a few ingredients the portion size would end up too small. I want to avoid that. I love [...]
Zucchini Burgers with Lentils
Now that we are in the beginning stages of warm weather, I thought it would be a great time for another veggie burger recipe. I am always looking for a good veggie burger recipe because eating a burger made with meat is too many calories. A standard hamburger patty is about 480 calories. And that's [...]
