Meat-Free Monday: Spinach Tempeh Mushroom Stroganoff

March 31, 2009

Yesterday I found myself craving stroganoff and also needing to use up quite a stash of fresh spinach that was starting to wilt. It was my good fortune that I happened to already have a recipe on hand for Spinach Tempeh Mushroom Stroganoff. I knew this recipe would allow me to indulge my craving while [...]

Guiltless Roasted Banana Panna Cotta

March 29, 2009

When the nice folks at Stonyfield Farms offered to send me coupons to try their Oikos Greek Yogurt I was more than happy to sample. After all, who can turn down free goodies, especially in this economy. In my kitchen I don’t eat a lot of greek yogurt plain, but I love to use it [...]

Game Night Food

March 29, 2009

While much of the United States was glued to March Madness tonight I was engrossed in another NCAA tournament: The Men’s Division I Hockey Northeast Region Semifinals. Growing up in Minnesota I was raised in a huge hockey family. My parents’ house, if you need proof, is practically a shrine to the Minnesota Gopher and [...]

Sweet Pea Tortellini

March 25, 2009

Growing up one of my favorite dishes was to take store bought cheese tortellini and serve it in a cream sauce with peas, ham, and sometimes chopped fresh tomato.  I had it for the first time at a friends house at age 11 or 12 and remember thinking that it seemed very grown up or [...]

Mahi Mahi Tacos and Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries

March 19, 2009

I always Enjoy Tami of Vegan Appetite’s Food Network Fridays where she puts a vegan spin on Food Network recipes. I’ve been eagerly awaiting what she’ll be doing with tater tots this Friday. In the meantime, I decided to riffle through my own Food Network recipes for one that would help me use up some [...]

Saint Paddy’s Day Dinner

March 18, 2009

I’m not a big drinker so rather than heading out for beers for Saint Patrick’s Day I decided to stay in and make an elegant Irish dinner instead. For my inspiration I consulted The New Irish Table. The book is full of modern takes on classic Irish ingredients. There were many recipes that appealed to [...]

Black Eyed Pea Balls in Chipotle BBQ Sauce

March 10, 2009

With the dismal state of the economy, yesterday seemed as good a time as any to tap into my embarrassingly messy and overcrowded pantry. I try to be an organized person, but with only 642 sq. feet of condo space my lifestyle is a bit cramped, especially when it comes to the kitchen. After a [...]

Spinach salad with Poached Pears

March 7, 2009

Tonight was one of those nights where nothing in particular was on the menu so my focus became how to use up my lovely fresh produce before it had a chance to go bad. Among the contents of my fridge were a forgotten full bag of baby spinach and some lovely Forelle pears. I chose [...]

Ancho-and-Honey-Glazed Tofu with Black Bean Sauce and Jalapeño Crema

March 5, 2009

For tonight’s dinner I decided to make a recipe by Bobby Flay for Ancho-and-Honey-Glazed Salmon in Black Bean Sauce with Jalapeño Crema, but instead of the salmon I used tofu.  I love cooking tofu because not only is it low in calories and fat but it’s also tremendously versatile.  Even though I am not vegetarian [...]
