Mediterranean Farro Salad with Hummus Dressing

[Editor's Note: I am always on the lookout for fantastic and creative grain salads—they're fantastic to take to work for lunch, and can also be the centerpiece of a satisfying, but healthy, dinner at home. I love this salad from Soup Addict, which would be exciting enough on its own, but is made even more delicious with the addition of a hummus-based dressing. I'm definitely going to make a batch of this soon! --Genie} Mediterranean Farro Salad with Hummus Dressing  Read more

Butternut Squash Enchiladas

Any recipe with the word "enchiladas" in the title sounds good to me, so of course I was excited when I spotted these Butternut Squash Enchiladas from Vintage Mixer. The enchiladas are filled with cooked squash, corn, and two types of cheese and then baked in a flavorful Salsa Verde sauce. Sounds to me like a perfect main dish for Meatless Monday!  Read more >

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Baby it’s cold. And we’ve got colds…. and flus and viruses. Soup is the best medicine I know; a fact borne out in plenty of scientific research. Indeed, studies have found that soup, specifically chicken soup, heals (although I have anecdotal evidence that lentil soup heals, too).  Read more >

Vegan Lentil Chili

It's count-down-to-the-Superbowl week, so I'm guessing a lot of people are on the hunt for the perfect chili recipe for the big game. Doesn't chili and the Superbowl just automatically go together? I'd never had chili made from lentils, but when I tried this Vegan Lentil Chili with Roasted Red Peppers, Olives, and Green Onion, I loved the slight sweetness that the lentils added to this barely-spicy chili. If you make this for Meatless Monday, I'm betting you might want to make it again soon, and maybe even for game day.  Read more >

Grilled Tofu Salad

I'm a huge fan of tofu, and I'm always looking for easy tofu recipes to expand my limited knowledge about how to cook it at home. This recipe for Grilled Tofu with Miso Dressing went right to the top of my "must try" list! Not only is the recipe quick and easy, but the Miso Dressing has so many of my favorite Asian flavors like soy sauce, ginger, and sesame. And if you happen to be cooking a special meal for Chinese New Year which starts today, this would make a great side dish!  Read more >

Fennel for the road

I’ve been laughed at, looked at funny and smiled at a whole lot while I snack and travel. Especially when the person sitting next to me catches me eating my ripe avocado with a spoon. Hey, it’s good and ya know what? My tasty avocado is a heck of a lot better than what they’re eating…the processed cookies and burger served in the snack car sure takes a lot more guts to eat than a pure avocado.  Read more >
