YES.
It’s a vegetarian side dish that is super healthy, super easy, and SUPER delicious.
You’re going to love it.
ALSO. Besides mincing garlic, there is zero prep, and the spinach cooks in, oh, about ZERO time.
Sold yet?
Please say yes.

Today, I’m cooking for 6 hours before going to counsel people and fix them.
Or something.
I gots a holiday party tomorrow, and I’m super duper excited.
There will be new recipes from it, too! Perfect for YOUR holiday parties.
In the meantime, though, we still have to eat dinner tonight, right? Let’s make something that isn’t a recipe, but an idea, and can fit with exactly what shriveled veggies and freezer-burned protein you have in your house.
It’ll be fun!

It’s Tuesday!
This isn’t anything mindblowing, but it’s GOOD.
Also, if you don’t make pesto with lots of things all the time, you really need to start.
Seriously. Different nuts, herbs, even LETTUCE….go crazy! And tell me what you come up with so I can copy it and make it my own.
Amen.

Um. Yes.
You know how I love that storebought curry paste that I use to make chicken curry and chickpea curry?
Well, I still love it.
I do!
BUT, I also like doing fun things like making my own curry because other people mock curry paste and I don’t like being mocked even though it’s super delicious and easy.
I just want to be liked, is what I’m saying.
So. I made my own curry. Then I simmered lamb in it for 2 hours until it was falling apart.
Then I stirred in seared eggplant cubes.
It wasn’t the WORST idea I’ve ever had. In fact, it was super duper delicious and I can’t stop thinking about it now and I’m definitely making it again ASAP.

Yep.
I like putting things between tortillas and grilling them until they’re melty, ok?
It is what it is, and this is a DELICIOUS incarnation of that habit of mine.
Great for a Monday night meal, or to serve as a snack for happy hour or any other time of your life that you want to eat something delicious.
And, honestly, isn’t that all the times of your life?

Happy Friday!
We’re catering a birthday party for a friend this weekend, and we’re so excited!
If you aren’t making appetizers for 40, though, why don’t you try this fun twist on Eggplant Parm?
Use goat cheese.
For realzies.
It’s SO good, and you still have a great Italian vegetarian meal.
But with goat cheese.
You’re welcome for that.

What a ridiculous name!
I don’t mean that the shrimp give you attitude, or that they come from Mexico.
These are just….prepared with flavors that are often found in Mexican cooking.
That’s all.
And, there’s sauce.
That’s really all.
We’re moving tomorrow, and I’m a little frazzled.

Vegetarian!
Delicious!
Salty!
Spicy!
I love this dish, for realzies. It’s easy and cheap to make, and great for a quick Italian meal any day. The eggplant is hearty and flavorful, so you don’t miss meat if you’re a regular meat-eater. Perfect for groups of meat lovers and meat avoiders!

Tonight is probably a good night to make a crap ton of rice and fry it, don’t you think?
Here’s how I do it when I make mine!
You can use anything you need to get rid of, and it’s so delicious!
One time, I go a little nuts and made an Italian version with spinach, crumbled cooked sausage, and fresh chopped tomatoes.
WHOA. That was good.
An Asian-style is lovely too, though, and can be altered any way you like!
It’s good, is what I’m saying.
What’s your favorite fried rice ingredient?
I’m putting this under the entertaining category, because this is dang good, kids.
