    An adorable hand-held appetizer, and even healthful to boot!  A southwest blend of vegetables in crisp wonton cups make for a festive appetizer to any party! – – I’ve always seen wonton cup appetizers, but I’ve never really dabbled, and this was a great forray into the realm! Plus it’s perfect timing, because by the time you’re reading this, I’ll be at Tyler’s family reunion where there’s sure to be good food, good conversation, and good people!  You can really fill these cups with pretty much anything, but I was going for a healthful appetizer, and for quick, and thus…

    To make these healthful vegetarian samosa burritos, swap the traditional potatoes for mashed cauliflower and white beans and load up the filling with mild but flavorful spices, add a few peas for color, and you’ve got yourself an easy, healthful lunch all week!  – – The idea for this recipe actually came from a coworker’s heatable lunch that was a vegetarian samosa burrito.  And that sounded so tasty, I went straight to pinterest and dug up this recipe by Alissa over at Connoisseurus Veg. I will be the first to level with you–this burrito wasn’t quite everything I wanted it to be,…

    Refried beans smothered in salsa, guacamole, sour cream and topped with a layer of melted Cheddar cheese for the ultimate party dip! – – This is my take on a “seven layer dip”. Five layers gives me plenty of delicious goodness, and fits perfectly into a pie plate!  Of course it’s completely customizable, so feel free to swap layers or add back some of the others if they appeal to you! Here are my 5 layers: Refried beans (I get mine canned at Trader Joe’s) Salsa Guacamole (get the recipe, or you can always go with pre-made) Sour cream &…

    A vegetarian take on enchiladas with corn, red peppers, zucchinis, and onions mixed with a cheesy bean filling, wrapped in warm tortillas and smothered with store-bought enchilada sauce. – – This recipe is pretty much a straight adaptation of my original enchiladas (recipe) post, but subbing the beef for sauteed vegetables.  If I’m being honest, I do like the beef a bit better.  But this is still mighty delicious, and if I’m going to try eating more vegetables, I will sit down to eat this quite happily.  I’m trying to incorporate a “Vegetarian Monday” into my schedule, so trying to come up with…

    Happy cinco de mayo!  Well, happy cinco de siete, technically, but who’s counting?  I’ve been a busy pup mom this past week, not to mention work’s been a little crazy.  But T and I both had rough weeks, so we decided to go all out for cinco de mayo on Thursday, and had some margaritas (henceforth known as ‘margs’), some yummy enchiladas, and some churro cookies for dessert!  So you’re in luck, you get: not one, not two, but THREE posts today!  I’m feeling generous.  And T’s out of town visiting his family for mother’s day, so I only have the pup…
