I think if there’s one positive to come from what’s going on right now, it’s that many of us seem to be wasting far less food. I don’t particularly enjoy leftovers, but I’m trying to really ensure that I’m not letting my produce go to waste and that I’m repurposing some of my previous meals. […]

A Series of Salads: Butternut Squash Edition
Before the world completely changed last week (#flattenthecurve), I had decided to challenge myself to find interesting salads. I don’t LOVE salads. I don’t know many people that do, but that’s besides the point. Salads can be a real drag and I wanted them not to be. Anyway, the world’s all weird and instead of […]
The 4 Bs
Black. Bean. Burrito. Bowl. I’m not even kidding, this is the easiest meal I’ve probably ever made. It requires very minimal effort. In fact, the magazine that this recipe came from claims it takes only 15 minutes of prep time. It’s just that easy. The recipe comes from BBC Good Food magazine (one of my […]
Spicy!
Cauliflower seems to be my go-to vegetable these days. It’s a celebration after so many months of cauliflower costing an absolute fortune. I mean, it’s not as cheap as it was, but at least I’m not walking by the box of cauliflower at the grocery store trying not to be enticed into buying one at […]
My mouth is on fire

I don’t want to just post about crap that I wouldn’t have a strong opinion about (either way). Alas, I’m back. I have some ideas for changing things up around here. I […]
Cauliflower Buffalo Wings?
We’ve been trying to make an effort in our house to have 2 vegetarian days a week. It came about almost by accident. Part of it is because I don’t often dream about meat or feel an overwhelming desire to have meat with a meal. Meat is often the last part of a meal that […]
A spicy rice(y) thing
If it weren’t for bacon, I think I could be a vegetarian. Okay, bacon and the occasional steak. And maybe the odd roast chicken. But really, at the end of the day (when all’s said and done), I far prefer grains and veggies. I mention this because the following meal has no meat, except for […]
Indian inspired roast chicken
When I feel like I actually have the energy to make a full roast, chicken is my regular go-to. I don’t really waver on what I do to the chicken – some butter, lemon, salt and pepper. An old reliable recipe, but it’s getting a bit boring. So, when I had a day off yesterday […]
