I have a few confessions to make. Â I don't normally plan our dinners around Meghan's likes. I think more about what Tim and I will like than her. Â I also rarely prepare her something different than what we are having. There are a couple reasons I do our dinners this way. Â First, as a toddler, ...

Lemony Lentil Salad
It was one of those days. Â You plan to get home at a certain time, but life with a toddler sometimes makes tasks that should take 10 minutes take 20 or 30 minutes. Â Those few extra minutes wasted taking off shoes and putting them back on because "I DO IT! Â MEGHAN'S TURN TO PUT ON THE SHOE!" Â and ...
Vegan Chickpea Tomato Wrap
This Vegan Chickpea Tomato Wrap makes a super quick and easy lunch that is full of flavor!Often times, I eat whatever Meghan is having for lunch. Â If she's having a mashed banana and tahini sandwich, I go ahead and have one, too. Â Some days, however, I just want something that I know Meghan most ...
Three Bean Vegetarian Chili in the Slow Cooker

Â Looking back, it wasn't the meat that made the Joe something special. Â It was that flavor. Â Straight-from-the-can Manwich ...
Cheap & Healthy: Roasted Vegetables with Grilled Polenta
Cheap and healthy are not two words that typically go together. Â I find it disheartening that, for the most part, eating an organic, whole foods diet, is quite a bit more expensive than going the fake food route. Â High quality ingredients can get pricey. Â I rarely bother to look at the regular ...
Apple Chutney-Stuffed Roasted Portobellas
Every time I make this dinner, Tim says, "That's your best vegetarian meal". Â He loves his meat, so satisfying him without some flesh taking up the majority of his plate can be challenging. Â He loves this combination of roasted portobellas stuffed with a gorgeous apple chutney. Â I rounded out the ...
Rainy Day Soup
Although this has been an unusually hot week for the first week of fall, yesterday we had a short, but welcome break with a thunderstorm. Â Tim wasn't going to be home for dinner, so I really didn't have anything planned. Â I peeked in the fridge to see what I could throw together, and something about ...
