We’re back at it with Meatless Monday! I love cooking stir fry because it has lots of veggies, is easy to make in big portions, and makes for great leftovers. This vegetable stir fry is a go-to with me and I put in all of my favorite vegetables. You can add or remove vegetables depending on what you like, making it completely customizable. You’re going to want to make this ASAP.
One of the few trying things about going on vacation for me is attempting to eat all of my refrigerator’s perishables while also not buying any groceries (rough life, I know). I’m headed out for a week long hiking trip in a few days so I’ve been eating a lot of weird meals (read leftovers galore!). One of the easiest things to make while simultaneously getting rid of a bunch of stuff in the fridge is a burrito. I’m partial to the breakfast variety. Its not glamorous, but it sure is delicious! It’s one of the easier meals to make with whatever you might have lying around, so here’s what was in my fridge this morning…
After Minnesota defrosts from the winter, people are outside all the time during the summer. Summer was always a time for lakes, grilling, and burgers. Summer is almost over [what? How is it August?] and we can’t let the summer pass by without a burger recipe! I love a good burger, but I am not into those frozen store bought burgers. I wouldn’t mind trying a veggie burger, but the frozen varieties don’t look appetizing to me. I will never choose those over a real burger. These black bean burgers, however, are filling, healthy, and flavorful. Like many of my recipes, they’re also easy! You can make these in a skillet, bake them in the oven, or cook them on the grill. So, try these black bean burgers for Meatless Monday. Or any day.
I’m going to just come right out and say it. I’m obsessed with tomatoes right now. I want to eat them with every meal, and I’ve been doing a pretty good job of it. If you’re like me and you find yourself with an excess of tomatoes, bruschetta is a good way to use those delicious ‘maters!
This recipe is great for an afternoon snack, appetizer or full on meal if you really go for it. It’s super easy and super delicious.
We didn’t have a Meatless Monday post this week, but we have a really delicious Meatless Monday post for you next week and an amazing chocolate chip cookie recipe is in the works. Hard life recipe testing. Anyway, thanks for visiting us today. Growing up, my mom always made the best meatloaf. It was simple without a lot of fillers, but always so good. Now, I make my own version using extra lean ground turkey. It is one of my boyfriend’s favorite meals and I probably end up making it once a month. I serve the turkey meatloaf with veggies and sweet potatoes or quinoa on the side. It makes great leftovers, too!
Try as I might, I don’t often find the time to make it to one of the farmer’s markets in my neighborhood. This week however, I had the fortune of finding myself with a weekday morning off and a market just a few blocks away! I picked up some amazing goodies that included beautiful heirloom cherry tomatoes and fresh pasta. Naturally I spent the rest of my day thinking about what I was going to make, and decided on a more traditional (and super easy) pasta sauce.
We have a short and sweet Meatless Monday post today – avocado toast! Avocado toast is one of my favorite healthy snacks. It is quick, filling, and healthy. There are many variations you can make too, such as adding other veggies, adding a meat like prosciutto, adding cheese or adding various seasonings. The recipe I’m sharing today is a basic avocado toast recipe that you can build from and this is the standard way I like to eat avocado toast. The recipe can easily be multiplied depending on how many people you’re feeding. If you cut the toast into small pieces, it makes a great appetizer. Note: This recipe can be made gluten free by substituting your favorite gluten free bread.
