Lent is back and that means our Meatless Friday’s edition is too. We have an ongoing joke in our family about how my husband claims to “hate” Lent. He was born and raised Jewish so he didn’t have to stick to the no meat rule on Friday’s or giving up something for 40 days. Since we started dating both our birthdays usually fall around or during Lent. I typically give up all sweets and for some reason this bothers the crap out of him that I don’t eat birthday cake or any sweets used to celebrate our birthdays. Anywho, he…

Balsamic Glazed Baby Portobellos
0We have finally been going out on date nights and a few weeks we hit up Trulucks for their all you can eat stone crabs. I was quite disappointed in my final total, but marveled at our friends who took down 23 legs a piece. Believe it or not, one of the most delicious things about that meal was one of the side dishes…balsamic glazed baby bellos. Drooling just thinking about them. My husband and I were talking about them for days when we both agreed we could totally make them ourselves. Challenge accepted. Better-Than-Trulucks Balsamic Glazed Baby Portobellos Mushrooms…
Creamless Summer Corn Chowder
0
I love summer soups, and corn chowder is definitely one of those! I was inspired years ago when I was working and would frequent Panera for my lunch breaks. They make a kick ass corn chowder that would only make an appearance during the summer months and I scoured the internet to find one that would taste just as good and I didn’t have to spend $5 on it every time I wanted some. Back then I was on a healthy kick, so I came across a cream-less version and it’s pretty damn awesome! Light, crispy and packed full of…
Meatless Friday’s: Mayo-less Tuna Salad
0While visiting my sister-in-law in NY back in June, she introduced to me to one of the most delicious tuna salads I’ve ever had. AND it was mayo-less! I am all about the mayo-based salads, but this one really blew my mind. You can tell it was delicious because I haven’t been able to stop thinking about since my first bite and knew I had to try and re-create it. If you haven’t tried mayo-less tuna salad, please do yourself a favor and make this! It’s light, flavorful and the veggies add such a great crunchy texture. If I wasn’t…
Meatless Friday’s: Peach Cobbler
1I have had the worst cravings for peach cobbler this past week. The funny thing is I’ve never even had peach cobbler before in my life! Sure, I could have easily gone to Publix and buy it frozen, but its not just not the same as homemade. I wanted authentic, southern-style peach cobbler because it looks so damn delicious on T.V. or in pics. I of course went to good old trusty-reliable Pinterest and hit the jackpot! I found probably the easiest and most delicious homemade recipe for peach cobbler. Since I have nothing to reference it by, this is…
Meatless Friday’s: Flatbread Pizzas
1I love Flatout Wraps. They make awesome wraps and even awesomer flatbread pizzas! And yes, I said awesomer. They take 10 minutes and you can get as creative as you like. Throw whatever you got in the fridge on top and I guarantee it will taste delish! I had a bunch of stuff in my fridge that was nearing its time before it starts growing fur and got a few ideas for dinner. Whether you are having some company, a girls night in, an after school snack or a light dinner – you must try! BBQ Flatbread Pizza 1 Flatout…
Meatless Friday’s: Leftover Baked Spaghetti
1I am the worst at gauging how much spaghetti to make. I either make way too much or just enough for one bowl. No matter how much I try, I never seem to make the perfect amount. But the good part about it is leftovers! I usually make pasta fritatta, but this time I decided to try something different – Baked Spaghetti. I have been seeing a lot of recipes floating around online and of course Pinterest but I improvised with the ingredients I had in the house, tossed it all together and created a delicious baked pasta dish. I’m…
Meatless Friday’s: Veggie Quinoa Bake
0It’s no secret I’m into experimenting with quinoa. A few weeks ago I had my veggie drawer filled with some produce that was nearing the end of its days and about a 1 cup of cooked quinoa in my fridge that I forgot about on the stove and it became extra mushy. I didn’t have the heart to throw it out. I thought about making quinoa balls, or my usually quiona ‘mac & cheese’ but then I remembered the veggies and thought about utilizing those bad boys. Enter the Veggie Quinoa Bake. Cheese-y, veggie-y, and oh so good! My husband…
Meatless Friday’s: Crab Cake Sandwiches
0The last meatless Friday of Lent – had to go out with a bang! I have been craving Maryland-style crab cakes. Anything Maryland-style is good in my book. I lived there for 7 years and have had an obsession with old bay and blue crabs ever since. There’s one restaurant that I usually go to when I am feigning those spicy bad boys, but i didn’t feel like taking the 40 minute hike up north to West Palm, so I put on the chef’s hat and went to work. I whipped up some pan fried crab cake sandwiches last week…
