After a week of feeding the munchkin french toast and scrambled eggs for dinner, I decided it's time to restock my freezer with some quick, go-to meals. I've also been trying to figure out what to make with the ground turkey in the freezer and realized that my Turkey Meatloaf Mini-Bites would be perfect! The only problem … Continue reading Turkey Meatloaf Mini-Bites Revisited

Chicken Piccata with Pasta and Arugula Salad
When I was trying to decide what to call this blog, the first thing that came to my mind was "The Lazy Chef." This is because I am constantly looking for short cuts, taking the most simple recipes and making them even simpler. Sometime I find easier ways of doing things that don't compromise the … Continue reading Chicken Piccata with Pasta and Arugula Salad
Salmon Cakes with Lemon Dill Sauce
I am always trying to eat more salmon, so when I saw canned wild Alaskan salmon at Trader Joe's, I bought a few cans to give it a try. Problem was I wasn't quite sure what to do with it. In the back of my mind, I thought I'd heard of salmon cakes, something I'd … Continue reading Salmon Cakes with Lemon Dill Sauce
Beef Stew
Beef stew is one of my favorite winter meals. Every year I make it once or twice when I'm in the mood for something really comforting, and so in preparation for this craving I ordered grass-fed stew beef the last time I was stocking up on meat from my CSA. Last week, as I was … Continue reading Beef Stew
Vegetable Barley Risotto
Do you remember my Vegetable Risotto recipe? The one that I told you was delicious and healthy, with the exception that white rice has limited nutritional value? And then I said that I was going to make it with barley instead? Well, as you've probably figured out by now, I did it! I finally got … Continue reading Vegetable Barley Risotto
Garbanzo Burgers
Here we go with another recipe from my Weelicious list! While I often have a hard time eating whole beans because of the texture, once they are mashed up or pureed I am happy to indulge. Which makes these Garbanzo Burgers a great way to add more legumes to my diet. I first made this … Continue reading Garbanzo Burgers
Double Broccoli Quinoa
In the world of grains, quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a winner. It is easy to cook (similar to rice but faster), has the nutritional benefits of being a whole grain, and is even a complete protein (most grains are missing a couple of the essential amino acids, which means that while they are good protein … Continue reading Double Broccoli Quinoa
Mac & Cheese (with Squash!)
It should be clear by now that Kraft Mac & Cheese, as yummy as it might be, is not something I'd consider cooking for my family (sodium tripoly-phosphate? yellow 5 AND 6?). I have made the Annie's Organic Whole Wheat Shells & White Cheddar, and while I feel ok about the ingredient list, it just … Continue reading Mac & Cheese (with Squash!)
Turkey Meatloaf Mini-Bites
A few years ago, when the munchkin was just a far off idea in my head, I came across a blog called Weelicious, which has tons of baby/toddler/kid-friendly recipes. Even then I loved the idea of being able to cook wholesome, home-made food for my future kids, so I filed the site in the back … Continue reading Turkey Meatloaf Mini-Bites
Spinach Walnut Pesto
As I've already told you, we are big fans of pasta in our house. And while it doesn't take much to make it exciting in my view (straight from the fridge with nothing on it is just fine!), I do like to vary the ways I eat it. So far I've shared with you my … Continue reading Spinach Walnut Pesto
