Pancake Tacos
Even though I’m not a huge fan for that all important first-meal-of-the-day, somehow I don’t mind breakfast for dinner. It’s a fun way to get over a weeknight dinner lull and gives you a burst of energy to start your night off right! Since my folks love pancakes and eggs, I thought...
Grilled Vegetable Crostini
It’s the simple things in life that often taste so great. For example, take a look at this – a grilled vegetable crostini. New Jersey has been unseasonably warm this year (totally got sunburn last weekend!), so I decided to make a summer favorite a few months early. So we broke out...
Asiago, Red Peppers, and Potatoes
A potato is one of the most versatile ingredients out there. A simple spud can be transformed into so many different dishes that you could probably go your entire life without every duplicating a recipe! In this dish, I slice the potatoes, partially boil them, layer the slices with red peppers and...
Eggy Penne with Vegetables
I’ve noticed that vegetable pasta dishes often lack any protein! Because of this observation, I decided to toss four eggs into a simple veggie pasta medley. The cheese adds excellent flavor, with subtle hints of garlic, spice, and sweet sundried tomatoes. I love the thin slices of zucchini scattered throughout the dish...
Potato Soup
I like to make potato soup out of potatoes that are about to go bad…I don’t know why, but it always happens this way. We had a bag sitting around, so my mom suggested I make a batch so I could show everyone online how to do it! A lot of potato...
Matzo Pizza
The matzo pizza – aka a super thin crust pizzette! There were very few things at my old college mess hall that I really enjoyed, but every year around Passover they would have matzo pizzas that I couldn’t get enough of. I thought it was so cool to put a pizza on...
Au Gratin Potatoes
We’ve all had the boxed au gratin potatoes growing up…well now it’s time to learn how to make it from scratch! It’s literally only __ minutes of cooking, then just stick it in the oven and wait while it bakes! You can’t mess it up (I’ve even accidentally used vanilla soy milk...
Chickpea Vegetable Broil
My mom convinced me to put this chickpea and vegetable broil up. It’s a recipe I make frequently, but just never thought other people would be interested in. It’s really good, so I thought I’d finally share. Fresh veggies are mixed in with protein packed chickpeas, and then broiled under a cheesy...
Vegetable Lasagna
This recipe is my staple vegetable lasagna concoction. I think it was the first veg lasagna I ever came up with, and I kind of just stuck with it because it’s so good! Lasagnas are perfect to make in advance, and then just stick in the oven when you need it. I...
Tomato Tart
I love making hors d’oeuvres at home, especially when they look elegant but showcase a familiar flavor. That’s exactly what I do with these tomato tarts. They taste like mini pizzas but look like something catered. The tomatoes and cheese melt onto a puffed pastry crust; there’s huge flavor from minimal ingredients....
Chimichurri Chicken Tortilla Panini
I was watching TV the other day and saw a commercial with a Panini flatbread sandwich. Since I didn’t have the ingredients to make a flatbread, I thought I would use a tortilla on my Panini press instead! It turned out great, my parents absolutely loved it, and so I’m sharing it...
Broccoli and Cheddar Omelet
I’m not good at making a beautiful look omelet, but that doesn’t mean it can’t taste amazing! My family (and pretty much the rest of the world) loves broccoli with gooey melted cheese…so why not start the day eating something we love. The outside of the omelet has a slight crisp texture...
