Let me tell you a secret. I don’t loooveeee veggies. At least not in the same way I looooveee pizza. (I know it’s almost heretical.) But when my friend sent me this recipe from the Food Network I actually thought “here is a veggie recipe I can get excited about” or something sort of cheesy like [...]

Growing up in Indianapolis, there was this one particular pizza place I loved to visit and gorge myself on for their pesto. It is so good. Fifteen years later, I still visit every time I go back but it has sort of lost it’s luster for me. The reason, a waitress with a big mouth. [...]
In keeping with our decision to eat vegetarian a night or two a week, I’ve been creating new or revamping old recipes. Last night, we converted my Mozzarella Chicken to Mozzarella Eggplant. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I think I actually like the eggplant better. It was sooooo good. I nearly cried [...]

I discovered this dip when I was making lasagna last week. I couldn’t quit licking the spoon as I was putting the lasagna together. Think of that when you come to my house for dinner! It’s an easy and yummy to make veggies less “veggie” tasting and it will help you stay in those “skinny” [...]
Today for lunch my kids were going to eat taquitos when the $&*! hit the fan. We were out of sour cream. I was about to remind them that they are lucky to have food at all when I remembered I my sweet friend Rachel told me she used Greek Yogurt in place of sour [...]
A few years ago my friend made something like this. Since then, I’ve been playing around trying get the ingredients in just the right proportions to fit my taste and it has become, by far, my favorite dressing. So much that I brought it in a cooler with me on vacation. It is a tasty [...]
