Published by April 1st, 2013 in 5 Stars, Easy Preparation, Kid Approved, Salad and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsWe love Middle Eastern food. Our love for Middle Eastern food really developed when we were living in Baton Rouge (who would’ve thunk it!), and then we moved to Houston, and there was a delicious restaurant down the street from our townhouse. This salad is so good, and even the kiddos loved it (and the [...]

Herbed Pasta Salad
Published by August 24th, 2011 in 4 Stars, Easy Preparation, Entertaining, Italian, Pasta, Picnic/Potluck, Quick and Easy, Salad and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsI love pasta salad, and I especially love pasta salad that has bold delicious flavors.

Tex-Mex Chowder
Published by April 19th, 2010 in 4 Stars, Mexican/Southwest/Tex-Mex, Soups and Chilis and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsThis chowder is quite tasty. It’s vegetarian, which is nice. Most chowder recipes have bacon or ham hock in it for flavor, so it was nice to find a recipe without those ingredients. This chowder had lots of flavor too. This recipe comes from The New Vegetarian Grill cookbook. Ingredients: 1 lb. potatoes, peeled and [...]
Latkes/Potato Pancakes
Published by December 14th, 2009 in 5 Stars, Family Recipe, Kid Approved, Sides and Vegetarian. ClosedLast year I made delicious latkes. This year I wanted to try a new recipe, and since -s remembers his mom making potato pancakes when he was little, we asked her for her recipe. By the looks of the recipe it looks like it came with her 1970 Osterizer blender! Delicious! So what’s the difference [...]

Ingredients: 1 lb. dried black beans water 1 onion, chopped 7 garlic cloves, smashed 1-2 jalapenos, diced (can omit) 2 [...]
Chicken and Broccoli Pad Thai
Published by December 8th, 2009 in 4 Stars, Asian, Easy Preparation, Pasta, Quick and Easy and Vegetarian. ClosedI love Pad Thai, and the nice thing about this dish is that it is quick and easy to make. It’s certainly a bit more adventurous than my kiddos are willing to try, so I just set aside some of the chicken for them, and they were happy with that. You could also skip the [...]
Sweet Chili-Glazed Tofu

ClosedI picked up the America’s Test Kitchen 30-Minute Suppers magazine at the store, because I am always looking for quick and tasty meals to prepare. There were a number of recipes that caught my eye, and this tofu dish did not disappoint. We will certainly make this dish again. Recipe adapted from the Winter 2010 [...]
