This delicious and smooth beet soup is as tasty as it is gorgeous! It’s fruity and earthy and is served with a sweet apple-fennel slaw. I included directions for Instant Pot, slow cooker, and stove top! Have I ever told you that my favorite color is beet? I love the deep, purple-y fuchsia of a …
Friends. This Lentil Curry might be the only lentil recipe on my site. Wait, let me check… Yep. It is. I was never a huge fan of lentils until I had lentil curry once. There was something about that cozy, porridge-like texture that screamed comfort food for me. Not all lentils end up with that …

You know I love me a good salad. I also love bacon. And hard-boiled eggs. And candied nuts. Blackberries are probably my favorite berry, too. Making this salad dressed in maple dijon vinaigrette was a no-brainer when I saw it in Mary Younkin’s book, The Weekday Lunches & Breakfasts Cookbook. I’ve got the recipe down …
Do you get into lunchtime ruts, too? Actually I know you do because I get asked a lot what I eat for lunch, and most of the time my answers aren’t super inspiring. But I’ve got an inspiring idea for you today, friends — 5-Minute Cheesy Zucchetti Bowl and a review of a gorgeous cookbook.
