Sunday Night Dinner: Mediterranean Spaghetti...
Mediterranean Spaghetti Squash Serves 4
You know how most of us always tend to want exactly what we can’t have? Such has been the case since I have been on a super restricted diet. I’ve been craving things that I don’t even typically eat much of under normal circumstances, like chocolate and pasta. This dish was an attempt to squelch my pasta desire. It worked—this mix...

Sunday Night Dinner: Kale, White Bean, and Potato...
Kale, White Bean, and Potato Stew Serves 6
This is a simple yet flavorful, hearty soup—perfect for a late winter’s evening. I opted to use vegetable broth instead of water to up the ante in the flavor department. I also somehow managed to completely skip over the red wine vinegar at the end of the recipe. My initial taste test indicated that acid was needed (duh, why do you think...

Sunday Night Dinner: Upgraded Asian Salad
Upgraded Asian Salad Serves 1
This is a great “meal salad,” nice and hearty and packed with a variety of textures. The dressing is also extremely tasty. I went for a mix of spring greens instead of mesclun and replaced vegetable oil with extra-virgin olive oil in the dressing. I also opted to used smoked tofu to up the flavor profile even more.

Spiced Butternut Squash and Apple Soup Serves 6
Yes, I am fully aware that it is Thursday and I am just now posting my dinner from last Sunday. But give a girl a small break, work has been nothing short of ass kicking this week and I simply have not been able to make myself sit at the computer in my downtime. At any rate, I did want to share this soup with you. It was nice and easy to prepare...
