Thanksgiving is next week. It’s next week! How did that happen? My feelings about Thanksgiving have changed pretty significantly since I was a kid.
If you are ever thinking to yourself that you need to get more veggies into your diet, I have one excellent suggestion: buy a colorful vegan cookbook. (What, Melissa? This is a strange way to begin a post that is mentions salmon in the title…which is most definitely not vegan.) But seriously. When I started […]
I am pleased to announce that Smells Like Brownies is moving to a new home! (In fact, it has already moved!) Welcome to Savored Grace. When I concluded that the name Smells Like Brownies had run its course, I almost simultaneously gulped with fear. Do you know how hard it is to name a blog? […]
It’s been quite a while since I’ve written about food. But during that long break, this is one of the meals I have made over and over again. I make it for guests, I make it just for me. I made it once with Sarah of Well Dined. This burger is piled high with delicious […]
My mom had so many pearls of wisdom for me when I was a kid. Most of the time, I probably rolled my eyes at her when she would repeat one of her classic phrases, but as an adult, some things resonate more clearly. Like this: Garbage in, garbage out. Luke even affirms this for […]

Which is why it’s so weird that I have been cooking lately from magazine clippings and *gasp* the actual […]
Beet Hummus
Last week, I made these amazing beet burgers. Beets are lovely, aren’t they? I think beets are the most beautiful color in the whole world. But…I have to admit that I really hate to eat them plain. I’ve tried them in salads with goat cheese and soaked in butter and horseradish sauce. But my favorite […]
Admit it. You love veggie burgers. You can’t escape the truth. Veggie burgers are one of the best things about being vegetarian, in my opinion. (Why eat something boring when you can eat something creative?) And these beet burgers with quinoa and black beans are no exception! They are delightful and hearty and a little […]
