Stir Fry Veggies with Ginger Basil Dressing

Stir Fry Veggies with Ginger Basil Dressing

I got the inspiration for this dish when perusing Daisy Jane’s blog after being lead there by something or another on Pinterest (There’s a link to my Pinterest on the side bar, if you’re interested). I can’t quite remember why I was there initially, but this ginger-basil dressing that I found definitely wormed its way … Continue reading

Spaghetti Squash Frittata

Spaghetti Squash Frittata

Have you ever tried spaghetti squash? My first encounter with it was when I was a child (a very picky eater) and my parents sold it to me as actual spaghetti.

Lemon Basil! I discovered this in my CSA box and was so pleased! It smells amazing and tastes great in salads and as a water enhancer. It was also a pleasing addition to this refreshing lemonade. The combination of cucumber and lemon basil in this drink makes it a grown up lemonade, and I wouldn’t … Continue reading

Creamy Butternut Squash Baked Pasta

Creamy Butternut Squash Baked Pasta

Oh, my friends. This dish is wonderful. It’s like fall in my house (even though it’s only July). I received a butternut squash in my box this week and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Make the Winter Squash Lasagna from Deborah Madison’s book Vegetarian Suppers. I had a bag of whole … Continue reading
