Zucchini Socca with Tasty Yummies

The last time that Beth from Tasty Yummies visited, she shared a gluten-free and vegan lentil “meat”loaf that wowed us all. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made this loaf since – for dinner parties, potlucks, or on a lazy Sunday afternoon. The recipe is just that good that you can’t not make…

Grilled Fennel Dippers

You have 60 minutes before a group of your closest friends show up for a dinner party and you forgot to make an appetizer. What do you do? a) Run around the house like a chicken with your head cut off [an expression my mom always used… and lived constantly]. b) Head out to the…

Stuffed Pizza Mushrooms

Stuffed Pizza Mushrooms

What’s one food that you distinctly remember from your childhood? One that stands above all the rest? For me, it was bagel bites. The ooey, gooey, delicious morsels that made up my after school snack from the time I was 6, to the day I moved out of my parents’ house and realized how darn…
