Crock Pot Chicken and Lentil Stew
A few weeks ago my blog turned 4! Four whole years of teaching myself to cook and building my confidence in the kitchen. Over the course of almost 200 recipes I’ve built a battery of weeknight dishes, learned how to prepare healthy lunches for the week, experimented with the instant pot, and become more and […]

Turmeric Lentil and Veggie Soup
Ever since we first found out we were pregnant I’ve been looking forward to this weekend during which we spent a full day doing postpartum freezer meal prep! A few of us have done this before for other friends who are having babies and they’ve reported back how helpful it was to have meals on […]
Cauliflower Topped Shepard’s Pie
Happy Pi Day! In honor of this amazing nerdy holiday (and St. Patricks day right around the corner) I’ve made a healthy shepherd’s pie that uses cauliflower instead of potatoes and is filled with beef and lentils. I first made this beef and lentil shepherd’s pie with the traditional potato topping and it quickly became […]

Baked Sweet Potatoes Stuffed with Curried Veggies
Fall is upon us and I am feeling the flavors! Driving home from work this evening I had a craving for sweet potatoes. I haven’t posted ANY recipes using this vegetable and I think it’s time for that to change. [Sidenote: I have posted 113 recipes in my almost 2 years of the blog and […]

Beef and Lentil Shepard’s Pie

Chicken and Lentil Burgers
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I love seeing all of the Irish soda bread variations, creative corned beef ideas (umm how amazing does this look!), and recipes utilizing Guinness! I had grand plans to make my Mom’s Corn Chowder tonight, but came home to realize that we had finished all of the potatoes earlier this week […]

Hot Italian Sausage with Lentils
A few years ago, upon entering my 30s, I bought a journal in order keep a paper record of the books I was reading. It varies from book to book, but I usually document things like who gave it to me, new thinking it inspired, thoughts on the style or the genre, my desire to […]

Lentils Monastary
Well, these last few days brought me an unexpected joy that coopted all of my attention after work: my dad found a cookbook that my mother had been writing on his computer!! One of my initial reasons for starting this blog was to have a space to document my own experiments in the kitchen and […]

Warm Winter Lunch: Curried Lentils
Throughout the summer months I swear by Sunday meal prep which allows me to spend evenings outside. With darkness now descending around 4:30, I’m keeping myself sane by researching and trying new meals. This dish has become a lunch time favorite as it is filling, yummy, and can be easily made with whatever is found […]
