Lentil and Eggplant “Burgers”
Posted in: Dinner Ideas, Food Photos, Lunch Ideas, Sandwich Ideas, Vegetarian Ideas | 7 Comments
This is my first entry for the Royal Food Joust! A monthly contest the Leftover Queen hosts on her site where she identifies three ingredients and we see what everyone can come concoct in their kitchen. Then her readers vote for a winner at the end of the month.
I think this is genius! What a fun idea! And you may not know this about me, but I LOVE a challenge.
This month’s ingredients are lentils, eggplant and cinnamon. For some reason I was immediately inspired to make a veggie/lentil burger. Click here to continue reading Lentil and Eggplant “Burgers” >>>

Spicy Black Beans and Zucchini
Posted in: Dinner Ideas, Food Photos, Side Dish Ideas, Vegetarian Ideas | 13 Comments
I LOVE taco night, it’s one of my all time favorites. However, I never know what to make for a side dish. I mean beans are good but they are a little bland all by themselves.
So with my spice cabinet and a leftover zucchini in hand I whipped this up. You could use it as a side dish, as the taco “meat”, or my favorite, filling for a quesadilla. I’ve made 2 since Friday with the leftovers! Click here to continue reading Spicy Black Beans and Zucchini >>>

Quick Sweet & Tangy Salmon
Posted in: Dinner Ideas, Food Photos | 10 Comments
The husband was ecstatic that I made a “normal” meal tonight. Normal meaning a protein, a starch/grain and a vegetable, all separate on a plate. He’s SO adventurous, isn’t he?
When I told him I was making salmon his exact quote was, “Awesome, wait… it’s not salmon stew or anything, is it?”
He CRACKS me up.

Quick Quinoa & Turkey Taco Stew
Posted in: Dinner Ideas, Food Photos, Soup/Stew Ideas | 20 Comments
I don’t know WHAT came over me tonight. I was planning on tacos for dinner but the weather called for a much more comforting dish. Looking in the cupboard and seeing an old package of taco seasoning and a box of quinoa this idea smacked me across the face.
The husband tried it, said it was ok and then proceeded to make something for himself. He just isn’t a “stew man”. He doesn’t like one pot meals which SUCKS because I LOVE them, especially in the cold winter months. It’s ok by me I now have 5 lunches for work!

Strawberry Orange Salad
Posted in: Breakfast Ideas, Food Photos, Salad Ideas, Snack Ideas | 6 Comments
I don’t know WHAT came over me this morning but I wanted something tasty, healthy fresh and satisfying to start my Magnificent Monday and this popped into my head. To me nothing is more “fresh” tasting then oranges and strawberries and the cilantro just topped it off nicely. It was a very satisfying fruit salad with a twist!
I think I’ve said this before but it warrants a repeat. Click here to continue reading Strawberry Orange Salad >>>

Fast Salisbury Steak with Noodles
Posted in: Dinner Ideas, Food Photos, Toddler Approved | 13 Comments
This is a staple in my house and one of the husband’s absolute favorites. Normally I make it with a can of French Onion Soup thickened a bit for the gravy but Friday I was all out. So I do what I do best, and hit the pantry. Staring me in the face was a can of Healthy Request (low fat) Cream of Mushroom Soup and it was a lucky find! I like this better then my original version.
