Roasted Cauliflower and Mushroom Pizza

cauliza5-2

Second official day of fall = PIZZA. (!) Well, if we’re going to get technical, everyday = pizza for me. Not that I EAT pizza everyday, but I could. If I wanted. Because I’m an adult. Who loves pizza. On risky levels. So. Yeah. But look at all that roasted goodness! We’ve got sliced baby […]

FAVORITE NEW LUNCH. Sorry to scream. So this sucks. (not the salad, but what I’m about to tell you.) A week before Labor Day I somehow hurt my ankle while running.

French Lentils with Roasted Root Vegetables

Meatless!  . . . Tuesday. I’ll admit, I’m not that that creative with vegetarian cooking. Back in the day when I was jazzed about expanding my vegetarian horizons, I tried making tofu a lot. I deep fried little strips. I pan fried little squares. I slipped silken blobs into soups. I even tried baking it! […]

Homemade Baby Food. Four Recipes, Yo.

baby7

Okay, you guys, baby food is ugly. This has been your warning. But it’s soooo easy to make and I just couldn’t get through this phase without sharing a few of my go-to purees for the gremlins. And no, they’re not going to be gremlins for Halloween. Which actually breaks my heart because I seriously […]
