Roasted Garlicky Green Beans are a crisp and delicious side dish – you’ll never look at green beans the same way again! | Pin the Recipe Before I had kids I was at an Italian restaurant for dinner and ordered “Burnt Green Beans.” I didn’t really know what it was when I ordered it, but the waiter said that they were just…
When my husband was growing up, negimaki was a weekly dinner in his house. On the other hand, if you asked my mom (who cooked all the meals in my house) to make negimaki her likely response would be “nega what?!” — and I never would have asked because I for one didn’t know what it was either! But as…
Did you know April is National Grilled Cheese Month? I love cheese, especially the ooey, gooey deliciousness of melted cheese between two slices of bread, so I am more than happy to celebrate this national “holiday” with some memories of grilled cheese from when I was a kid and a classic recipe with a healthy twist. When I was younger,…
The other day I decided I was going to make peanut noodles with tofu for dinner, but my husband asked if we could have Pad Thai instead. We generally order in Pad Thai, so I was a little skeptical about how I was going to match the flavors of the traditional dish, but decided I would give it a try…
By Megan Kian Yesterday I told you about tempeh, one of my new favorite soy products. Today, I thought I would share a recipe showing just one of the ways tempeh can be used to create a quick and easy dish. I used a recipe from Vegetarian Times, which is a great source for vegetarian recipes. I like this recipe…
The other night I was home alone for dinner for the first time in a while, so I decided to make something that I love but my husband isn’t so fond of: Salmon. I’ve previously shared other recipes using salmon (Salmon Balls, Salmon-Cucumber Rounds), but I’ve never fully explained why salmon is so good for you! By now most everyone…
Last weekend I made this Miso-Ginger Chicken and Cabbage recipe that I found in my Food & Wine Annual Cookbook 2010 (this cookbook has some amazing recipes!). It took a little longer than I expected to prep everything, but the cooking time was fast. I served it alongside the Bulgur with Ginger & Orange, which made for a great meal,…
I guess you could say I’ve been on a grain kick lately, especially the ancient grains. First I told you about barley, next about einkorn, and now bulgur. You may have never heard of bulgur, but if you’ve ever had tabbouleh salad you’ve likely eaten it. Bulgur is an ancient grain that is very commonly used in Turkey and other…

Lately it seems like I’ve been on a beef kick – with beef in the news and our post about the different cuts of beef, I decided to cook up some beef myself. What could be better on these cold winter nights than a warm, hearty, and filling stew?! Here’s my beef stew that has lots of vegetables and beans…
This past weekend I found myself in the kitchen yet again. I really love to cook (especially when it’s for pleasure), so I was happy to be cooking up a storm for some company. I think I’m a pretty good cook, but baking has never been my forte, so I usually buy ready-made desserts — even though I know they…
