Vegetarian dish comin’ at ya loud and cheesy! (that was way less dorky in my head.) I’ve been dyyying to play around with corn and quinoa and cheese and my face for some time now.

Black Bean, Corn and Quinoa Stuffed Peppers {Tablespoon Tuesdays}
How ’bout that royal uterus action yesterday, eh? But, I feel like we already knew it was a boy. Did we really not know? From the get go they’ve been all, “The child is 4th or 5th in line for the kingdom!” And you can only be in line for that kind of bidniz if […]
Roasted Vegetable and Quinoa Salad
Disclaimer alert: This dish is obnoxiously healthy. Proceed at your own risk. I’ve been known to be somewhat of a disclaimer queen in my day. “These dusty baseboards are not my fault! It’s like the freaking Dust Bowl part 2 out there.” “I tried to vacuum Charlie’s hair off those pillows but homegirl just gets […]
Roasted Curried Cauliflower and Chickpeas with Grains
Is it too late to declare this “GRAIN WEEK FOR THE SOUL?” How ’bout for the pancreas? Just kidding. I just realized with Sylvia on Monday and the quinoa biz yesterday and now THIS? All these mofo grainz, boyyyyy. By the time Friday gets here though I’ll have to call it “OPPOSITE OF GRAIN WEEK […]
Tex-Mex Chicken Quinoa Salad

Chicken-Quinoa Burgers with an Avocado-Yogurt Sauce
Or as my soul beggeth, Chickeeeenwa burgers. And while we’re at it, don’t look too closely at my sweet potato fries. It’s hard to tell with the naked eye, but underneath all that Parenthood-(ahem)-induced, semi-burned crispy exterior, lie the soft, seasoned sweet potato fibers of Zion. But you don’t rightly care because you want to […]

Red Quinoa with Swiss Chard, Mushrooms and Purple Cauliflower
No, no. Barney the dinosaur did not in fact explode all over my quinoa. That’s some real life purple cauliflower rawt thar. Have you ever seen such a thing? Well guess what, CLASS. I did a little research on these beauts, so get out your #2 and some notebook paper and let’s get LEARNT. And […]
Red Quinoa Quiche
Hi. You know me. I like to stick weird things in food. Not that quinoa is weird or anything! But red quinoa? Who the what the where the when the how? Actually red quinoa isn’t weird at all either. Now, if the red quinoa was wearing a tutu, a French beret and jumping on a […]
I Got Beet Up You Guys!
A few thoughts bouncing around in my brain hole today: * I really love Sophie B. Hawkins. * I really miss 90210. * I really hate bumble bees. * Why are they so BIG? * Why is the entire population of eastern Kansas pollinating my lil’ ole garden? * Speaking of my garden, YOWZA, it’s […]
