Day 288. The kids and I love green beans and, of course, noodles of all varieties. And Carbonara is a family favorite. I’m not much of a fan of eggs in general, but the eggs are pretty critical to the standard carbonara. Then again, so is bacon. I love carbonara with Black Forest “Bacon” […]
Bacon Cheeseburger Soup {Vegan}
Day 287. It’s rainy and chilly, I’m exhausted…and I desperately need to use potatoes from past CSA boxes. So, I went with a little comfort food. Potatoes involved in any way in soup are one of my favorite comfort foods. Vegetable stews with chunky potatoes, cheesy Baked Potato Soups and thin brothy potato soups are […]
Idaho Sunrise {Vegetarian}
Day 268. This recipe is just so cool: Baked potatoes filled with eggs, bacon and cheese. It’s like an All-Star breakfast in a bowl…an edible potato bowl. Very neat. I’m simply going to swap out the bacon for veggie bacon to make these baked potato treats. I bake my potatoes with a bit of olive […]
Pesto Chicken BLT {Vegetarian}
Day 266. I love veggie BLTs and have always liked attempting veggie club sandwiches. But, I’ve never been a big fan of veggie cold cuts. So this pesto-mayo chicken BLT club seems like the perfect solution. I am a huge fan of the site this recipe comes from, Closet Cooking. He always has simple, yet […]
Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Chicken Bites {Vegetarian}
Day 260. I don’t normally try too many bacon-wrapped recipes, because they’re hard to do with homemade “bacon”…but this one sounded so delicious I went out and bought a box of Morningstar Farms “bacon” for the recipe.I love cream cheese and jalapenos together and I added a bit of taco seasoning to the mix to […]
Creamy Avocado BLT Pasta Salad {Vegan}
Day 247. As you’ve probably guessed, I love avocados and, of the meats in the world, bacon is about the only one I ever thought was tasty. So I love the combination of bacon and avocados. Sandwiches, pasta, just in a pile. Whatever. Our daughters both completely obsessed with both tomatoes and guacamole. And for […]
Avocado Crab Crostini {Vegan}
Day 243. Yes, I’m going to try to make vegan crab. Yes, it scares me a little. No, I couldn’t find anyone else’s recipes to adapt or inspire me about mock crab. So let’s all hope for the best here. Avocado Crab Crostini Adapted from Avocado Crab Crostini. Ingredients 1 box of firm tofu, frozen, […]
Bacon-Persimmon Pasta {Vegan}
Day 213. I have only previously had persimmons in a sweet treat capacity, but I’ve recently been seeing persimmon paired with bacon. So, of course, I had to try a vegan version. If I had to compare persimmons to anything, I’d call them mushroomy, much like a portabella, with a bit of apricot wrapped in. […]
Cabbage and Zucchini Dumplings {Vegan}
Day 211. I’m pretty much convinced that anything edible stuffed inside a wonton dumpling is going to be delicious ever since trying Squash Wontons. So, of course, I decided to make more. I received a beautiful red cabbage in my CSA box, as well as the now somewhat regularly-appearing zucchini. I had about 1/2 a […]
Sweet Broccoli Pasta Salad
Day 210. Our girls are apparently weird for toddlers. They love vegetables. It’s insane how much. Sometimes when we ask Bug what she’d like for dinner she says “broccoli, please.” But hey, who am I to judge? I love broccoli, too. So, I assumed this would be a hit with the girls (Goose is also […]
