Here’s another vegetarian dish for you (actually, if you skip the cheese on top, it’s a vegan dish!)… You’re shocked, I’m sure! When I was…

Balsamic Roasted Pears
I don’t love salads… Especially ones with a lot of lettuce. I know that I have admitted that before… And, it’s pretty prohibitive when it…
Creamy Carrot and Potato Soup
I loooove this soup!
That’s what I used to tell my mom when she made this soup for me when I was a kid… And, now that I’ve made it myself, I’m still raving about how much I love this soup!
I guess I should start at the beginning. Long before Lonely Island proclaimed their love for being on a boat, there were Bert and Ernie… You know who I’m talking about – from Sesame Street! Perhaps this clip will jog your memory a bit…
I watched quite a bit of Sesame Street in my day. So, when my mom made this carrot and potato soup for me when I was a kid, I would walk around letting everyone know how I felt about the soup, Ernie style. In fact, my mom has a handwritten note in her cookbook that says “Jenny LOVES this soup!” (Yes, I was known as Jenny back then, too… And, there may be a few people who still call me that.)
Balsamic Glazed Skillet Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts
I am always looking for new ways to prepare vegetables. During the winter, I typically do a lot of roasting. Who doesn’t love roasted vegetables?
The thing is, sometimes I don’t plan ahead of time. Roasted vegetables take time and require preheating the oven. That’s when I usually turn to a skillet. Lately, I’ve been using my cast iron skillet a lot, and let me tell you, it preheats much more quickly than my oven does!
Last week, I received a sample of Tasteful Selections potatoes. It’s not often that I receive samples of fresh produce, so I jumped at the chance. From the moment they arrived, I couldn’t wait to start cooking with them. I was especially drawn to the Sunrise Medley that contained gold, red, and purple potatoes.
Sweet Potato Chili
Lately I’ve been in a bit of a cooking slump. I can think of lots of things that I’d love to bake, but since I cannot live on cake, cookies, and cupcakes alone (don’t I wish!), I’ve been forced to try to fight through my lack of inspiration and cook anyway.
When I’m feeling uninspired, I tend towards pizzas, frittatas, and soups… They are all of my “blank canvas” foods that lend themselves well to whatever’s in the fridge. I’ve found myself making a lot of them lately… Especially soups. The cooler weather that we’ve been having just begs for soup, if you ask me.
