Pakistani Kima

Is this a real Pakistani recipe?  I have no idea.  Let’s go with yes… totally authentic.  Authentic or not, it is really simple and really delicious.  BONUS:  it’s a one pot wonder.  I was first introduced to this recipe by Wellness Mama.   I have made this several times since that introduction and have altered it to [...]

Creamy Curried Cauliflower Soup

You want to make this.  Trust me.

You don’t think I’m trustworthy, is that it?  Well you’re wrong.

Told you.

So, gather up the following:

1 large onion, diced 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into uniform [...]

Acorn Squash Stuffed with Moroccan Beef

Hellooooooooooooooooo deliciousness. 

Looks good, right?   Right.

In the interest of full disclosure…. this is a bit of a cheater recipe for me.  As in, it’s not entirely new.  I was in the mood for sausage stuffed acorn squash, but didn’t have any sausage.  So I decided to stuff it with Moroccan [...]

Spaghetti Squash w/ Chicken, Bacon and Pesto

Sounds like a winning combination, right?  It is.

We’re eating a lot of squash these days… and most of us are loving it.  While my boys aren’t always too crazy about acorn and butternut, they don’t grumble about spaghetti squash.  And Livi (my 4 year old)?  She likes it all.  She says it’s “deeeeeeelicious.”

Oh, [...]

My Favorite Green Beans

I just deleted an entire paragraph about why green beans are a staple around this joint.  Why?  Because I read it and thought… who cares?  So let’s forget the intro to green beans and go straight to the recipe, shall we?  We shall.

Here’s what you need:

a couple tablespoons of coconut oil 2 strips [...]

Must Try Slow Cooker Recipes

For the longest time, I hated my crockpot.  I did.  I’m not even sure how I originally became a crockpot owner.  Probably something my mom gave me.  Anyway, I never had success.  How is that even possible?  I was like some sort of slow cooking idiot or something. 

Eventually I graduated from a ’Slow Cooking for Dummies’ [...]

Leslie’s Eats: Week of 5-6-2012

You’re back for another peek at my food diary log, huh?  Hmmm… no freshly painted walls available to watch dry?   Excellent, I’m good with that.  I feel like I need to warn you, though… my kids were gone Wednesday through Friday (visiting their grandparents- woot woot!)  and my husband was working Monday, Wednesday and Thursday night.  When [...]

Leslie’s Eats: Week of 4-22-12

Hmmm… so we’re back to ME confessing telling you about what I ate for the week, huh?  I gotta tell ya…  you’re going to see a lot of the same-ole-same-ole.  But, hey… maybe it’ll inspire and / or amuse you anyway.  Or you can at least see that eating real food is not hard.  (Even [...]

Veggie Packed Meatballs

I was the only one home for dinner tonite and even though I didn’t feel like cooking anything… I did.  I did it for you, dear reader… for you.  And also so that my husband would have something to take for lunch tomorrow.

So, if you don’t feel like cooking (or even if you do), here’s [...]
