Vegan Chili Lime Lentil Tacos
When I track all the food that I consumed for a day (check out the post What this pregnant mama eats), I realized two nutrients I need to make sure I'm getting enough of each day: Â protein and iron. Â This is important for anyone eating a plant-based diet, but especially important for a pregnant ...
Chipotle Quinoa with Corn and Black Beans {and how to adapt for your toddler}
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, ...
Creamy Carrot Brown Rice Risotto
The last time I made risotto I was pregnant with Meghan. Â I was still in the sick-all-day phase, but apparently feeling ambitious. Â I stood over the stove, nauseous, while I stirred, stirred, stirred that rice. Â Soon I pulled up a chair, doubled over with my arm extended so I could continue to stir. ...
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 ...
Focaccia with Fig Spread, Goat Cheese, and Arugula
I hoped to be bringing you a recipe for herbed focaccia bread tonight. Â Whole grain bread baking has been on my list of things I want to get good at--I even took a bread baking class last fall that was supposed to focus on whole grain breads. Â In reality, the class featured recipes that split white ...
Three Bean Vegetarian Chili in the Slow Cooker
My kitchen had a very good Christmas. Â She was a little selfish, but got everything she wanted. Â She received a fabulous all-purpose cooker that is a rice cooker, slow cooker, and steamer in one. Â It's hard to believe we've gone this long without a slow cooker. Â I've had fun experimenting with it, ...
Split Pea Soup (is Really Good)
Something about the name Split Pea Soup doesn't make it sound very appetizing. Â I'll admit it. Â I pre-judged this soup by its name. Â Before this week, I'd never even tried Split Pea Soup because I really didn't think it would be good. Â How can I teach my daughter to not judge people based on their ...
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 ...
