Thursday, May 14: Chickpea Shawarmas with Fries

Roasted up some potato wedges and chickpeas (both tossed with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and oregano), made a tzatziki sauce (creme fraiche since I was out of yogurt, plus fresh dill, shredded cucumber, garlic, and lemon), and halved a bunch of sweet lil grape tomatoes. Stuffed the chickpeas, tomatoes, and tzatziki in the softest pita, and served the fries on the side. SO good!!!

Monday, May 4: Lentil Ragu with Mashed Potatoes

I grew up eating (and LOVING) a lentil marinara sauce that we’d have with pasta. Tonight I made a version (adding in carrots, mushrooms, thyme, and red wine) that I ladled over super creamy marscapone-parm mashed potatoes. A lentil sauce that reminds me of my childhood + mashed potatoes = the ultimate comfort food!

Monday, April 20: Roasted Sausages, Potatoes, and Cabbage (Round 2!)

I don’t eat a lot of meat, but when I do, it’s Seemore Sausages :). Love these “broccoli melt” sausages, made with humanely raised pork, broccolini, pepper jack, and pepperoncini peppers. Tonight I served them with a huge pile of roasted tomatoes (that I tossed with the cheesy, spicy sausage drippings) and mustardy roasted cabbage. A great comfort food dinner!
