Egg in a nest. I'm definitely not reinventing the wheel here as egg in a nest has been around forever. I remember making it myself as a girl. I had forgotten about it until just the other day my older son and I were up earlier than the other two in our family. Since we… Continue reading Egg in a (Heart) Nest

Kale Pesto
While I've been on maternity leave I've really been enjoying going to the farmers' market on Wednesday mornings. It's something I normally can never do because I have to be at work.

Lentil Tomato Salad
I made this recipe twice in one week so it must be good. I originally found it when I was looking for a vegetarian main dish/side dish to take to dinner at my dad's house on Labor Day.

Roasted Cherry Tomato Pasta
The cherry tomato plant in our garden would be 10 feet tall if we had stakes that high. What is it about the small tomato plants that makes them grow like crazy? We grew those small yellow pear shaped tomatoes one year and it was absolutely out of control as well. Grew up and over… Continue reading Roasted Cherry Tomato Pasta

It would also make an excellent lunch. The key is this recipe for homemade veggie bacon from No Meat Athlete:… Continue reading Veggie BLTs

Parmesan Zucchini Rounds
One of our dinners last week consisted of pasta with the first batch of fresh homemade pesto from our basil plants in the garden. I think homemade pesto might be my very favorite thing to eat. Since we didn't have a garden last year, it had been two years (!) since I last had homemade… Continue reading Parmesan Zucchini Rounds
