There’s so much going on in the world right now, I feel like I should have something profound to share, but in reality I’m still processing things. At work in my skilled nursing facility, they’re hoping that the last of our residents with Covid will test negative and be moved out of the Covid-Unit thisRead more
I don’t cook a lot of pasta dishes for myself. Pasta wasn’t something Mom made often when I was growing up, and I tend to eat a lot more rice dishes than pasta dishes. That said, there’s something super comforting and warming about lasagna. We always give my dad a hard time because any timeRead more
Pesto is one of those quintessential summer foods. The fresh, bright taste of basil just screams summer produce. So I’ve been making pesto like crazy while there’s still an abundance of fresh basil. You can easily freeze pesto too, so make lots and save it for a cold, wintery day when you need a hitRead more
A lot of people in my life are vegetarians, so I’m pretty aware of vegetarian options when I go out to eat. Even though I’m not always ordering a vegetarian option, I have a lot of sympathy for vegetarians when restaurant options are sparse and/or uninspired.

This is rapidly becoming a favorite meal. It’s based off of these tofu lettuce wraps, but combined in a bowl for a more filling/less fussy dinner. I made it twice in a week, it’s that good. It’s super flavorful and customizable to what you have on hand. And while I know that tofu isn’t everyone’sRead more
We all know we should eat more veggies, so here’s an easy way to start the day’s veggie count early. This is also a great way to use up some of the veggies in your crisper. Since this was served for breakfast on the last day at the beach house, we were eager to useRead more
This strata was something that I whipped up because we had guests coming to the beach, a loaf of bread getting stale, and some egg whites leftover from the German Chocolate Cake. This is a great recipe to make for company since you assemble it the night before and bake it off in the morning.Read more
