A mouthful, yes? But a delicious one, I assure you. Somehow the idea of a yogurt-basil dressing had cemented itself in my brain, but when I tried it, the dish just didn’t…pop. It tasted plenty basil-y on its own, but … Read More

This weekend, we headed out to Shenandoah National Park for a little camping night, a morning of hiking, and then down to Roanoke, VA. Camping with the smalls is always an adventure; so fun and lovely and cozy and yet … Read More
We love enchiladas over here. And they are a rather excellent way of using up large amounts of CSA veggies. And infinitely customizable (don’t like mushrooms? don’t use them. have some random hakurei turnips like I did? throw them in). … Read More
Having been a vegetarian my whole life, I’ve gotten my fair share of, “So… what do you eat? Lettuce?” (I generally want to respond with, “What do you eat? Flesh?” I am nothing if not terrifically mature.) As much as … Read More
On Thursday night, we were planning to go camping in the beautiful Shenandoah’s in honor of my birthday on Friday. Dan surprised me with a spot picked out months ago before it filled up right at the top of a … Read More
We went strawberry picking. Not that first time. Again. Because of course everyone needs to pick nearly 20 pounds of ripe and delicious strawberries over the course of a week and a half. Needless to say, I’m scrounging out all … Read More
Summer’s in full swing and we’ve already kicked into some fun little travels. Pittsburgh First up was Pittsburgh to visit Dan’s brother and his family. It had been a while since we’d seen them, and oh, did we have fun. … Read More
I used to think I didn’t like fajitas. Not really sure why? I mean, lots of colorful veggies and tortillas and toppings? Not much to go wrong. I finally had them again a few months ago when we were in … Read More
We’re pretty simple when it comes to dips. Fresh salsa, guac, done. But this dip. THIS DIP! It is so good. I made it for Dan’s birthday shindig this year and I had at least 4 different people ask for … Read More
What, you don’t have ice cream for dinner? This was actually Mother’s Day dessert, c/o my husband who knows me all-too-well, but I easily would eat it for dinner. And it’s vegetarian. And, quite possibly, the best ice cream I’ve … Read More
A mouthful, yes? But a delicious one, I assure you. Somehow the idea of a yogurt-basil dressing had cemented itself in my brain, but when I tried it, the dish just didn’t…pop. It tasted plenty basil-y on its own, but mixed with the rest of the ingredients, it was just sort of blah.
So I tinkered with it and made it into more of a yogurt pesto to pump up the flavor, and oh, the flavor, it was pumped. I love that the yogurt made it moist and cool without being overly heavy for the 90-degree-and-humid temps we’ve had this week. With the addition of the beans, it was a perfect one-dish meal, but is also great alongside a big green salad and baked potato. Delicious hot and cold and probably with any random CSA veggie of your choice.
