Kale and Basil Pesto
Kale and Basil Pesto This recipe was motivated by my veggie order, I was determined to find a great way to use up a whole bunch of kale, which no one seems to like 🤷♀️ Honestly though, I think from now on it’s going to be split between this recipe and my Kale Chips which I’m in love with. Mike says he can’t understand why I’m eating burnt ...
Herb Crusted Goat Cheese Pan Pizza
Herb Crusted Goat Cheese Pan Pizza I’ve warned you about the pan pizza recipes but I’m trying not to be obnoxious!

Now a little note about this recipe, it’s inspired by herb crusted goat cheese, not made with it! I ...

Haha, I was trying to go for theatrical drama there! Really though, this dish really ...
Vegetable Teriyaki Chow Mein
Vegetable Teriyaki Chow Mein I broke the news to Mike that I wanted us to eat more vegetarian meals. His face dropped like a sack of potatoes. He consoled himself with BBQ chicken on the side of this Vegetable Teriyaki Chow Mein... I skipped the chicken. Here I've added a little heat, more than I usually do but it makes all vegetable, ie, no ...
