Fall Lentil Bowls with Walnut Pesto

by 1 Comment

I am SO, so pleased that this is going to be your dinner this week (go with it). These bowls are one of the best things to come out of my kitchen in recent months (and there are….a lot of contenders), are gluten free, vegetarian, and ridiculously yummy in a way that makes you not really that concerned about the health factor.

But the health factor is THERE with these lentil quinoa bowls. We’re talking quinoa, turmeric lentils, roasted sweet potatoes AND tomatoes, and walnut pesto that we’ve made several times this summer for these bowls, pasta, and lots of other yummy things!

The walnut kale pesto is not to be skipped, is my point.

Walnut Kale Pesto

Here’s the thing:

How to make the best walnut kale pesto recipe from funnyloveblog.com

I don’t actually hate cooking entire meals on the weeknights. I find it relaxing to put our kids to bed, chat with Jay, and make an entire meal start to finish.

Buthoweveralso, when I do that it means that we eat dinner at 9pm and then don’t go to bed until 11, and that’s not OK. SO, I mostly prep some things and then cook one or two items when we’re ready to eat.

Gluten Free 7-Ingredient Banana Cake

by 2 Comments

I am not gluten free. But! A lot of people are, and all of the kinds of people in this world should be allowed to eat cake. Yummy cake. Intentional cake. Cake with chocolate chips on top of it that are slightly melted like icing.

This recipe came to me via Instagram; someone that I hadn’t heard of before posted the recipe and it included almond flour which I HAPPENED to have a bag of in my freezer, among other gluten free ingredients that need a home.

Summery Caprese Cobb Salad with Grilled Chicken

by Leave a Comment

Oh hello, here’s a salad we can SINK OUR TEETH INTO. Finally. 

I’m all about a main dish salad. I order them often in restaurants because I want to, not because I’m punishing myself for something or feel like I should. BUT, the salad’s gotta be a good one. House made dressings, fun protein choices, crunchy things, etc. If salads on a menu don’t look good, I’m heading straight for ordering a dinner entree during brunch because the smothered chicken is just always so legit, right?

Summertime Green Curry {vegan}

Today in Quick Dinners With Four-ish Ingredients:

And also What To Do With Baked Tofu!

This is a dinner that I made specifically to pair with the baked tofu from Monday, and one that we make all the time. We love Thai food, and Thai green curry is something that I order almost every time I go to a Thai restaurant.

Curry, though, can take some time to simmer and build flavors. I love doing that BUT definitely only on weekends. Weekdays aren’t the time to add little pinches of this and that or be dealing with whole lemongrass and jalapenos, nope. So THIS Thai Curry is the polar opposite in terms of effort: Vegetables, coconut milk, green curry paste. Full stop, done and done.
