Sauteed Jicama with carrots - this was really good - husbone roasted some ears of corn on the grill & added that to the mix as well. it was really tasty & light

Cornmeal Chive Waffles with Salsa and Eggs - I used hemp milk as that's what I had & had to use more than the recipe called for - 1/4c? didn't have chives; still really good!

Cream of Chicken Soup - kind of like making a roux. Not so hard once you get the hang of it.

Coconut Green Curry Lentils - I added in peanut butter (I do this for all of my coconut curries, we're kind of one note sometimes) and the leftovers were gone almost as soon as I put them in the fridge.

Gardener’s Pie - Get it? Like Shepherds Pie but vegetarian :) I like the little twists to the methodology that this recipe added.

Lentil Coconut Curry - A great fall/winter curry that's overflowing with vegetables. I have to cook the lentils 3x as long as the recipe suggests though (I don't know why this is, I'm going to try cooking with the lid on next time)

Darcy Peth Lentils take a while to cook; the times quoted in this recipe are unrealistic. But, you can cut down cooking time by pre-soaking them, or my favorite method, use a pressure cooker. (Also, some varieties of lentils cook faster than others. Red lentils are the quickest).

Aithnea Micheals I agree with the unrealistic cook time and am wondering if it's a typo in the recipe. both green and red lentils tend to take around 40 minutes for me.

Healthy, Impossibly Easy Banana “Ice Cream” - I know that this has been going around pinterest quite a bit, but if you haven't tried it, you should! so good & creamy & you can add things to it for different combos - peanut butter, cocoa powder, vanilla, cinnammon, nuts, etc.

I made these portobello pizzas based on a Once A Month Mom recipe, and they were amazing! Add whatever your favourite pizza toppings are!

DIY Chocolate Syrup - why didn't I make this sooner? so easy & so good. lots o' sugar ahead, though, heads up

There are only 4 ingredients: butter, coconut, heavy cream & chocolate. We had this for Easter dessert and it was fantastic! So rich and delicious.

Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes. Really bright with all of the lemon (use all of the lemon zest suggested), and froze well too once cooked. Then just stick a frozen one in the toaster for a tasty snack! They microwave really nicely as well. I'd like to try it with whole wheat, but it was a special occasion so I used white flour.

Turkey Meatloaf with Feta and Sun-dried Tomatoes. I thought this came out great. I used about half and half lean ground turkey breast and dark ground turkey, and it came out well. When I make this in the future I'll be sure to use at least that much dark meat, since it's more moist and flavorful than the white meat. Great flavor in this!

Erin Beck Have made this a couple of times now and it's still amazing. Takes time but it is not difficult.

Erin Beck Made these as muffin. They're moist and not too dense. Added shredded carrots, pecans, chia seeds and sunflower seeds too. Batter was very dense (not pourable) but they still turned out awesome. Next time I'll try substituting some of the coconut oil for applesauce.

Ottolenghi's sweet potato cakes. We devoured these and wanted more. Waiting an entire hour isn't really necessary; our potatoes were dry in under half that. Served with a big pile of leafy greens; I'd probably add roasted broccoli or asparagus as well next time.

Toddler Muffins - These lightly sweet muffins are made with bananas, squash, and carrots, and are perfect for picky eaters. - I used grated zuchinni instead of baby food squash & made a cake instead of muffins, but this is really good & not too sweet. great for breakfast

homemade mayonnaise - super easy - I used vinegar instead of lemon juice, & think it was too much. I think 1 T would be better. also, I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil, like she said she would do next time & it was too olive-y, for sure. I'll def be using vegetable oil next time, but the consistency was great & we ate it all up

Allison Pope Kaptein If you use light olive oil (as opposed to extra virgin) it doesn't taste like olives and is way better for you than vegetable oil

Kat Vargas thank you! good to know - I'll try that next time

Have used this marinade twice now...and its awesome!

Slow Cooked Lamb Shoulder - This dish is foolproof. I would know, because I'm awful at cooking meat and this one turned out great with almost no work.

Gardener’s Pie - a really versatile dish that is difficult to mess up (unless it's too dry, make sure you have enough sauce!) I played with the spices and added in ketchup and it was great (I've used barbecue sauce before as well).

Vegetarian Sweet & Sour Meatballs. I made this as-written and loved it. It reminds me of my mother's tangy meatloaf that I used to devour as a child; and that's a huge win for me as I've now been meat-free for 10+ years. :)

Bittman's espresso black bean chili. Easy and delicious. We had no problems eating this as an evening meal, despite Bittman's warning about the caffeine (there's really not much in there). :)

Simple potato gratin from Smitten Kitchen. We added sauteed shallots and shiitakes and brought to an Easter potluck; people seemed to enjoy it as there were no leftovers for us to haul home. An easy crowd-pleaser that I'll probably make again.

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Bread - Excellent whole wheat pumpkin bread recipe, very moist. I'm going to cut back on the brown sugar next time.

Angela Kim do you think the bread would be good without the cream cheese swirl or is that a must?

Profile picture of Jenna Cole

Jenna Cole Ooops, forgot to mention that I actually didn't do the cream cheese swirl thing! We didn't have any in the house.

Angela Kim Perfect, thanks!

gingerbread baked oatmeal - I only had 3/4 c of milk, so I substituted 1 c greek yogurt for the rest of the milk & didn't have the texture issue she talks about in her post - my husband liked this baked oatmeal more than the pumpkin b/c it's more like a quick bread that he can cut & eat w/ his hands. I like them both

Eggs poached in tomato sauce; or, Israeli shakshuka. Easy, healthy, spicy and scrumptious. Served with warm pita. (I dread the day when my husband tells me he's sick of us putting poached eggs on everything. I love them way much.)

Spring salad with new potatoes. I have enough southerner in me that I can't quite call this a potato salad (it lacks mayo), but it is delicious. I served with poached eggs on top and ate for dinner. I could see this with scrambled eggs in a tortilla making a refreshing breakfast burrito.

Chicken Milanese with Tomato and Fennel Sauce by Giada De Laurentiis - I did everything according to the recipe except that I halved it. Delicious! And quite easy as well. I will definitely make this again.

A Simple Tomato Soup. Versatile, easy, and delicious. We did it with coconut milk, a little sherry instead of part of the water (and cut the water down overall), cubed paneer, and served over rice with a poached egg. As Heidi notes, for BPA-free canned tomatoes, go with Muir Glen; their fire-roasted whole tomatoes are awesome. We'll have the leftovers with spicy veggie mac & cheese tonight.
