Terrible Name, Tasty Dish

Easy, quick, pantry-friendly, and perfect for a weeknight. Oh, it’s reeeeeally delicious and makes great leftovers. What more could you ask for?

The Best Lentil Soup Ever

That is not hyperbole. It’s the honest truth; Gist and I love this soup so much that I have made a big pot of it every week for the past month and a half for us to bring to work for lunch.  So good!

Mushroom Barley Soup

This is the best Mushroom Barley Soup I’ve ever eaten; if you love mushrooms like I do, it is heaven in a bowl!

English Muffin Strata

This right here is my go-to brunch dish. Easy, tasty and the bulk of the work gets done the night before; it’s so easy, I even served it on the day I got married!

Pasta with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Hazelnuts

I love Brussels sprouts but Gist has long complained that she hates them. This recipe (and some prodding to actually try them from our pro-Brussels sprouts friends, Jill and Jason) convinced her otherwise.

Caramelized Balsamic Vinaigrette

There’s only one word for Brie (or any cheese) topped with this vinaigrette – YUMMMMMMMM!  In the recipe description in Vegetarian Planet, Didi Emmons mentions that its “flavor threw me straight into food heaven.”  I couldn’t have said it better myself!

Potato & Roasted Garlic Soup

I made this over the very snowy New Year’s weekend and it is the perfect warm, smooth, comforting, and yummy thing to enjoy after playing in and shoveling the snow.

Baked Shells with Winter Squash

This right here may be the perfect late fall/early winter dish – it’s seasonal, warm, comforting, and (most importantly) delicious. Oh, it’s also pretty easy too.

Caramelized Onion, Blue Cheese & Arugula Pizza

Mmmmmmmmm, pizza! This is an easy-to-prepare and tasty pizza, perfect for enjoying on a relaxing Friday night with some good teevee (hello, Gossip Girl) and a glass of wine.

Apple Butter

I love this recipe. It’s easy and makes a deep, dark and rich apple butter. I was wondering what to do with the many, many, many CSA apples in the fridge when I stumbled across Lolly’s Food for Fall post – apple butter it would be!
