Avocado toast on sourdough with feta

5 Delicious Meals Lately

written by Parita 14 Comments

I absolutely love sharing recipes and meal ideas on the blog.  But if I were to be honest, recipe posts aren’t necessarily my favorite to write.  They just take so much time between the photographing, the exact measurements, all the detail, etc.  But I do it fairly often because some meals are too good not to share!

While I won’t be outlining exact recipes in today’s post, I thought I’d do a roundup of some delicious meals we’ve had lately.  And I promise I’ll share as much detail as possible!

Avocado toast with feta

I cut a huge piece of sourdough bread in half, toasted it, and topped it with avocado mash and a little bit of feta.  The avocado mash included 1/2 a small avocado, a little lime juice, and S&P.  So much yum!

Zucchini meatballs, roasted Brussels sprouts, and sourdough toast

I made this the other night, and it was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!

I made the “meatballs” using this Skinnytaste recipe.  My only changes were to add an extra clove of garlic and two small jalapenos.  A definite must make!  The roasted Brussels sprouts were quartered, coated in a little olive oil, S&P, and a drizzle of maple syrup, and roasted for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees.  The toast is self-explanatory.

I blogged about this last week and had to mention it again because it’s that good!  Comfort in a bowl I tell you.

Veggie and refried black bean enchiladas

This was totally a semi-homemade meal.  My friend Trader Joe’s helped me out a ton!

The enchiladas were pretty typical – tortillas, refried beans, sautéed veggies of choice, and enchilada sauce.  The “cream” sauce was what took the dish from good to great.  It beats a thick layer of real cheese or sour cream any day!

This soup recipe comes from my Oh She Glows cookbook (one of my favorites btw!).  You can find the recipe here, but I still highly recommend buying this cookbook.  Yes, it’s a vegan cookbook, BUT all of the recipes are hearty, filling, and so flavorful.  Well worth the investment!

Well, that’s all I have for today!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend full of delicious food and lots of laughs. Smile

Tell me about your favorite meal lately!  I could honestly talk about food all day long.

Let’s Catch Up

written by Parita 6 Comments

I’m not sure if I mentioned this or not, but I was in Atlanta last week for a work training.  It was a great and exhausting few days.  I had every intention of blogging, but all I wanted to do was sleeeeeeep! 

Now that I’m all rested, let’s catch up!

1.  My time in Atlanta was great.  Not only because the training was helpful but I also got to see my parents.  They drove down to my hotel on Wednesday night after work to spend a couple of hours with me.  They are the absolute best!  I may have shed a few tears after they left!

2.  I got an iPhone 6.  Thank goodness because my 4s was most definitely on its way out.  The alarm clock feature stopped working, and my battery would die at 50% charge.  So frustrating!  I like the 6 more than I thought it would.  The best part is that it’s super fast and light.  I love how the keyboard is nice and big, which means I avoid as many embarrassing typos as possible!

3.  Friday night was date night at a new-to-us sushi restaurant.  Vishnu’s elaborate baked roll was apparently perfection.  My veggie roll could have used some work.  For one, there was waaaaay too much rice.  Luckily, the age tofu and miso egg drop soup appetizers were great and filled me up!  And a full glass of wine doesn’t hurt either.

4.  You guys!  Order the Oh She Glows cookbook NOW!  It is a vegetarian/dairy-free eater’s dream come true!  I love how Angela only uses real/fresh ingredients and tons of herbs/spices in each and every recipe.  I made both the lentil walnut meatloaf and the peanut butter/chocolate chip energy balls this weekend!  LOVE LOVE LOVE!  I can see this being my go to cookbook!

5.  I found dairy-free chocolate chips at Target!  There are no words for how excited I was to find these Enjoy Life Foods dark chocolate chips.  All I can say is YAY!  Dairy-free chocolate desserts here I come!

6.  My 2014 travels are winding down.  My last trip of the year is TODAY!  I’m flying to DC for a work related meeting, and then it’s two more weeks of work before a whole 12 days off!!!  I. Can’t. Wait!!!  I’m just a tiny bit excited about this.  Haha.

Now that we’re all caught up, have a great Monday!

Catch me up!  What’s going on in your life?
