Nothing says summer like a burger. The bun, the juicy tomato, the pickles, the ketchup, the mustard, just...yum. There are no rules that say your summer burger has to be a burger made of meat. Why not switch things up a bit and try this vegan lentil burger? With lentils and black beans, it's ...

How dinner went down: April 1st-7th
Welcome to the in-law edition of How Dinner Went Down. My in-laws, otherwise known as Nana and Poppy, are visiting. This always makes dinner a little bit different than usual as I try to accommodate everyone's tastes and preferences. It turned out to be a great week of ...
Barley risotto with asparagus
One of my favorite recipes from the cookbook Vegan Yum Yum is the creamy tomato barley risotto. That recipe opened a whole new world for me of risotto-like dishes cooked with barely. The beauty of the recipe is in not just its delciousness, although it is amply delicious, but in its simplicity. ...
How dinner went down: March 25-31
Oh, what a week. If you read my 10K training update post, you know I've felt like I'm running on fumes lately. At the end of last week, Tim was convinced it was diet related and I needed "more protein and iron." In Tim's world, this translates to "you need to eat more meat." Instead of waging a ...
How dinner went down: March 18th-24th
First, let me apologize for no new recipe posts popping up last week. It was a doozy of a week made much harder with Luke's growth spurt and crazy short naps. He is getting back on track with his naps (night sleep is another story...) so I hope to have more time to get you some recipes this week. ...
How dinner went down: March 11th-17th
I typed out the dates in the title and had to pause for a moment. Is it really the middle of March?! When did that happen? Wow. My little man was three months old yesterday (update coming tomorrow). This introduction has little to do with dinner or food, but I just wanted to say how I wish time ...
Roasted vegetable quinoa pie
Can you feel that? The light breeze. The sunlight on your face. I don't know what the weather is like where you are at, but here in southwest Ohio, spring is in the air. It might not last. We may have one last angry snow storm to punish us for the mild winter. Either way, spring is coming ...
How dinner went down: March 4th-10th
Anyone else feeling the effects of the time change? I definitely missed the lost hour yesterday as I felt like I was playing catch up all day. So much that this blog post didn't get written. With one child at preschool and the other one napping, I better hurry and get this done while I ...
How dinner went down: February 26th-March 3rd
Having a new baby is affecting my memory. I just had to sit here for 20 minutes because for the life of me I couldn't remember what we had for dinner last Sunday. Now that I think of it, I probably wouldn't have been super quick to recall a dinner from a week prior before I had Luke, either. You ...
How dinner went down: February 19th-25th
Welcome to your weekly peek into my kitchen at dinner time. This was my first full week going dairy-free. It hasn't been too difficult to find my go-to recipes without dairy, but a week without cheese is still a sad week in my book. Nonetheless, there was some serious tastiness for dinner this ...
How dinner went down: February 12th-18th
Here's your weekly peek at the Happy Healthy Mama family dinner table. Sunday Vegetable lasagna. I don't have a recipe as I never use one when making veggie lasagna. (If you need one let me know and next time I make it I'll write down what I do and post it for ya!) A friend of mine ...
Sesame noodles with red pepper and edamame
I'm short on time today so I won't even try to get my tired brain to come up with a clever introduction to this recipe. I'll just tell you that it's one of the tastiest quick dinners I've ever made. When a dinner can be ready in less than 30 minutes and delivers big on flavor, it's a winner in my ...
