I was almost hyperventilating when I first tasted how good this turned out. It feels like I have discovered (personally, not the first person in the world) this hidden gem!! The sauce for this pasta is so fricking creamy, it feels like it could be the healthy sister to the old “heart attack on a plate” carbonara. Alright alright, it doesn’t have the bacon but still – same sort of family – it takes all types! Even my husband finished his bowl and filled it up again, and not

I recently drove down to The Gorge in Washington for a weekend of festival fun – also known as Sasquatch! It’s such a fantastic weekend with awesome friends and music ~ but camping for 4 days can often lead to meal upon meal of burgers and sausages. While those are most definitely welcome and greatly appreciated, it is nice to have a few healthier things to munch on. I took down this quinoa salad, which helped me get some veggies and was also a good option for the 12 hour car

Right, so this dish is not pretty, photographically speaking. I tried and tried but cannot make this look as lovely as it tastes. My first thought was to ditch the recipe for this blog, but thought you dear reader (yes you, one single reader) would really be missing out.

While I eagerly anticipate warmer weather and spring, I seem to be content not doing much else whilst waiting for it! This asparagus soup is right up my lazy alley. But it’s

There are two types of veggie burgers. Ones that you put bacon and cheese on and ones that can stand alone. These are at the absolute top of the latter list. I adore them. They are from Whitewater Cooks - and they are not the only thing in this book that rule! The recipe makes 12 burgers so perfect for a summer BBQ, however, I often make a batch (anytime of year) and freeze them. They are really good, hassle-free, healthy, weeknight dinner. I prepare them bun-less with a sa
