Smoky Spicy Three Bean Chili

Nov 24, 2020 | By Melissa

This week it finally got cold. I can smell a crisp chill in the air. You know what that means. It’s chili season!! When I add chili powder and cumin to a big stewpot, my kitchen is instantly converted into a space of warmth and comfort. I have always found bean chilis to be more […]

Pickled Red Onions

Jun 11, 2020 | By Melissa

I am basically convinced that pickled onions are the best condiment in the world. They are tangy and just a little sweet, with a crisp bite. You can put them on almost anything, from sandwiches to eggs to grain salads to tacos (and, trust me, when you do, you will be taking your food to […]

A Different Kind of Primavera

Apr 24, 2019 | By Melissa

I bet you have a favorite vegetable. Mine is asparagus. Or maybe spinach. I like green things. Which is why I’m so happy that it’s Spring! I eat a lot of asparagus in the Spring. But I recently learned (or maybe re-learned?) that my husband hates asparagus. So I’m trying to convince him by sticking […]

Chickpea Salad and Salmon Wraps

Oct 01, 2017 | By Melissa

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 […]

Brie and Onion Jam Veggie Burgers

Aug 22, 2017 | By Melissa

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 […]

Roasted Red Pepper Alfredo

Sep 12, 2016 | By Melissa

If you’ve been hanging out here for a while, then you already know how dearly I love Sarah of Well Dined. She is one of my favorite people on the planet! Sarah has been unspeakably kind and generous to me in the seven years (!) we’ve known each other. She is thoughtful, thought-provoking, and hilarious. […]

Red-Handed Beet Burgers

Jul 22, 2016 | By Melissa

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 […]

A Little Bit of Everything Smoked Salmon Toasts

Jun 17, 2016 | By Melissa

This week, Sarah and I were feeling super laid back. We started our lunch planning at noon on the day of. (Just for context, we typically start cooking around 11.) Our conversation went something like this: Sarah: I just woke up. (cut to me, crumbling inside with jealousy) Me: I have a headache. Let’s make something […]

Wasabi Tuna Salad

Jan 06, 2016 | By Melissa

I’m not exactly sure how this happened, but I have become a little obsessed with tuna salad. Tuna salad is one of those polarizing foods: you either love it or you hate it, and there isn’t much of anything in between. In fact, I bet half of you have already wrinkled your noses in disgust. […]
