Brussels Sprouts have gotten a bad rap, and I think a lot of that is due to do with boring boiled sprouts. This recipe has a great kick and has been known to convert even determined Brussels sprouts haters. Bonus: it has very few ingredients and is incidentally vegan. One of the...
This is a nice hearty dinner all from scratch that took me less than an hour to make, chopping included. It had been a long time since I made an “American style” dinner – entree, potatoes, veggie. The main difference between this and the typical US American meat and potatoes meal is the...
This is one of my favorite fast, easy dinners. It takes a little forethought because you need a variety of veggies that aren’t being saved for other meals to do it, but that’s rarely a problem for Farmer’s Market addicts like us. All you need is 4 – 6 different kinds of...

Spaghetti is a great go-to quick and easy dinner. We pretty much always have whole wheat noodles and a couple jars of organic spaghetti sauce in the cupboard. And if we really are dealt just a SUPER busy night with nothing prepped ahead of time, there’s no harm in just throwing the two...
