Pappardelle with Lemony Thyme Roasted Mushrooms
Pappardelle with Lemony Thyme Roasted Mushrooms. When I saw this gorgeous Baked Lemon & Thyme Mushrooms recipe from Simple Provisions I knew in an instant that it would become a favorite. But instead of serving it as an appetizer with crostini, why not make it a Meatless Monday Meal.

Orange Vanilla Vinaigrette
Orange Vanilla Vinaigrette. One thing I’ve vowed to master in 2014 is salad dressings. I’ve had a few successes in the past but more often than not…..flops!

Honey Ginger Vinaigrette {with Shallot & Cilantro}
We’re so fortunate to have a wonderful Olive Oil & Vinegar Bar just minutes from home. Every time I walk into this store I’m treated to a new flavor pairing. My most recent addition to my collection (I think I’m up to about 10 different vinegar flavors) is Honey Ginger White Balsamic. This was the flavor base for my Honey Ginger Vinaigrette {with Shallot & Cilantro}. The shallot and cilantro offered a wonderful flavor balance to the slightly sweet honey ginger white balsamic. This dressing was beautiful with our Lunch Counter Style Chef’s Salad. You might also enjoy… Homemade Russian Dressing Homemade Caesar Dressing Bloody Mary Salad Dressing

Baked Potato {with Garlic Roasted Broccoli & Cheddar Cheese}
Baked Potato {with Garlic Roasted Broccoli & Cheddar Cheese}. While your Perfectly Baked Potato is cooking, why not roast some broccoli along side! Garlic Roasted Broccoli is a favorite side dish and so easy to make. Cut your head of broccoli into florets, lay them on a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Add 3-4 cloves of minced garlic and a good drizzle of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Seal the foil making a packet.

Mushroom & Kale Quinoa Breakfast Bowl
Mushroom & Kale Quinoa Breakfast Bowl. It was 52 degrees in our bedroom this morning. Somehow opening a window ever so slightly seemed like a fine idea at bedtime. Brrrr. So while I lay snuggled deeply into my bed I did a mental inventory of the ingredients in my fridge and pantry. If there was one thing that would get me out from under the covers, it was breakfast.

Roasted Tomato & Mozzarella
Roasted Tomato & Mozzarella. I have seen some wonderful recipes lately for slow roasting tomatoes, like this one by The Foodie Physician. By cooking them low and slow you get a rich tomato flavor. They then can be used in dishes as you would sundried tomatoes. Delicious.

Quinoa & Raw Veggie Salad
One of my ‘healthy eating’ work buddies brought in the most delicious salad to share. One bite in, just one….and I was recreating this salad in my mind to share with you. We decided to call it Quinoa & Raw Veggie Salad.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries {Cajun Herb Seasoned}
Baked Sweet Potato Fries are almost a staple for us. There’s something so addicting about the sweet heat that comes from the sweetness of the potato combined with the Cajun herb seasoning. Any time we’re having burgers or anything else that pairs well with fries, we’ll likely turn to these.

Shelby’s Yummus Hummus {Roasted Garlic & Herb}
Shelby’s Yummus Hummus {Roasted Garlic & Herb} If my kid had a signature recipe it would have to be her Yummus Hummus. She started making it several years ago as she discovered a new passion for ‘real’ food. This recipe was something she could make completely from scratch. She actually took great pride in soaking the garbanzo beans overnight and getting up in the morning to make a batch before heading off to work. I remember always hoping she would leave a little behind for mom.

Watercress Pesto
Watercress Pesto. I had seen a recipe in a cooking magazine where they sprinkled watercress leaves over the top of the dish. It made such a pretty presentation that I was certain I too would do this. I bought a bag of watercress with good intention. Forgot all about it until my weekly Saturday morning fridge cleanout.
