Minestrone was a perfect dinner on this chilly night! My version is full of delicious veggies (carrots, onion, potato, zucchini, kale, garlic, tomatoes), plus cannelini beans, chicken broth, and a parm rind for tons of flavor. Garlicky toasts on the side for dipping, along with lots of parm to shower on top!

This is a great example of how to take various components leftover from meals throughout the week and turn them into something new and delicious!

Tonight we tried out a flavorful spinach and sun-dried tomato pesto (original recipe here), which we spread on toast and topped with a cozy blanket of melty mozzarella. As you can see here, the toasts were not practicing social distancing ;-)

Really feeling the comfort food these days! Tonight’s dinner was a plate of creamy marscapone-parm mashed potatoes, mustardy roasted cabbage, and my favorite Seemore broccoli melt sausage. Simple, nourishing, delicious!

Mac and cheese is one of my very favorite foods (I even served a mac and cheese bar at my wedding!). This version is perfect for spring, featuring a mix of sharp white cheddar, Monterey Jack, and parm, plus lemon, peas, and parsley. Fresh and bright, but also creamy and comforting.

It was a gloomy day (starting with snow, ending with rain) — the perfect weather for soup! I made Amanda Frederickson’s Curried Ginger Carrot Soup with Crispy Chickpeas, adding a lemon-tahini drizzle for extra flavor.

I love chocolate chip cookies of all kinds (who doesn’t?). While I’m not gluten free, I do like experimenting with different baking techniques, and when I saw someone on Instagram post about these almond flour cookies, I knew I had to try them myself!

I love making homemade pizza! Today I decided to try a new pizza combo: buffalo cauliflower! It was SO good (we ate the entire pizza), especially drizzled with ranch.

Days where I don’t really feel like cooking a big, involved meal — or if I’m just craving a pan of salty, crispy roasted veggies — I’ll take stock of what veggies I have in my fridge and pantry and do a big sheet tray bake with a few different dipping sauces.

I love a weekend baking project! Scones are one of my favorite baked goods, as they aren’t too sweet — perfect for breakfast — and are so customizable.

I make a version of this recipe at least once a month, adapting to use whatever veggies I have in the fridge. It’s a great way to get in a few servings of veggies and some healthy protein and fiber from the beans — all wrapped up in a delicious taco.
