Easy Cheesy Spanish Rice

I have thing for rice. Or noodles. Whichever. I love them. Or bread. Or potatoes. Maybe I actually just  have thing for carbs?

Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

I’m just going to say it. I hate cauliflower. I don’t like the smell or the taste or the texture. I don’t even really like the color. I don’t know why, but I’ve always had an aversion to cauliflower.

Vegetarian Crock Pot Fajitas

Every month my husband’s office assigns someone to bring bi-weekly lunches. Lunch is every other Monday during an office meeting. That person can make lunch, have lunch catered, assign a potluck or ask everyone to bring their own lunch. January just happened to be my husband’s month. It always fun (and a little nerve wracking) to provide a meal for around …

Crock Pot Lentil Sloppy Joe

I’ve been a vegetarian for a few years now and one of the things that I really miss is Sloppy Joe. I know, I know… You’d think I would miss steak or bacon or something really meaty. And I did, at the beginning. But now that it has been so long, I only want those comfort foods that I adored …
