How to make a vegan tofu noodle bowl

January 4, 2021

Vegan crispy tofu noodle bowl is my new “go-to” for Meatless Mondays. Crispy, sweet and spicy tofu atop fresh Asian noodles tossed in a flavorful sauce. This bowl is also packed with herbs and vegetables which makes me feel downright virtuous.

Butternut Squash Arugula Salad

September 16, 2019

Butternut squash arugula salad topped with white beans and toasted pecans, then drizzled with maple vinaigrette. This is the perfect fall salad. Spicy arugula is studded with roasted butternut squash, creamy cannellini beans, crunchy pecans and sweet cranberries. This salad can easily be a meal on its own, or a healthy, filling side. Try it with my stuffed acorn squash for a fantastic fall dinner.

The combination of the vegetables and beans with a little sweet and a little crunch makes this a delicious salad any day of the week, but especially if you try to do a meatless meal once in awhile.

Baked Eggs in Mini Pepper Cups

Baked eggs are the perfect brunch item. Put those baked eggs inside mini bell pepper cups and now it’s an adorable brunch item perfect for serving on special occasions.  Make a few variations and your guests can help themselves, leaving you to enjoy your guests instead of being stuck in the kitchen. I had bell peppers on my list.  Not these sweet little things, but the grown up kind. When I laid eyes on these, somehow the big guys lost their appeal.   I’m a sucker for cute little things. …
