Kasha Varnishkes (Buckwheat Groats with Bowtie Pasta)

February 19, 2016 by Faith 10 Comments

Kasha Varnishkes (Buckwheat Groats with Bowtie Pasta) is a hearty, warming dish. Here the nutty flavor of kasha is paired with caramelized onion, earthy mushrooms, comforting pasta, the richness of butter, and a pop of freshness from parsley.

Winter! While most everyone I know is complaining about being cold, I’m sitting happily snuggled up in a sweater, wooly socks, sipping a hot drink to stay warm.

Winter foods, like roast chicken of all kinds, beef stew, and cheesy stuff galore (like bisque, cobbler, and casserole) are my happy place. And being from Buffalo, I don’t mind snow…even when I have to drive in it!…

Roasted Cauliflower and Pearl Barley Bowls with Creamy Tahini-Dill Dressing

April 22, 2015 by Faith 20 Comments

Who doesn’t like a good party, right? Friends, fun, food. There’s nothing not to love. Now, as a food blogger it probably comes as no surprise that I love bringing a dish to pass to a party. I usually have plenty of ideas on what will go over well. (Sports-centric = guy food, holidays = indulgence, and summer potluck = light and fresh!)...

Creamy Wheat Berry Porridge with Gingered Blueberry Topping {Vegan}

January 7, 2015 by Faith 13 Comments

We’re a week into the New Year, and I’m always curious as to whether people make New Year’s resolutions or not. I’ve noticed that people I talk to are split just about down the middle in their line of thinking; about half make resolutions at the start of a New Year and the other half says they try to make a resolution any time a change is needed....

Herbed Chicken and Brown Rice Spanakopita Bowls

October 3, 2014 by Faith 6 Comments

Thank you to Tyson Foods for sponsoring this post. I am happy for the opportunity to share brands that I believe in with my readers, and I hope you enjoy my recipe for Herbed Chicken and Brown Rice Spanakopita Bowls. I don’t know who first came up with the idea of a meal in a bowl (for some reason, I feel like it was a fast food chain!), but whoever it was is a food genius....

Two-Grain Vegetable Salad with Chickpeas and Feta

June 27, 2014 by Faith 6 Comments

“You want to make potato salad again?”, Mike asked me one day. We were headed to a potluck pool party later that day and he was apparently sick of potato salad. (I can’t blame him though; I brought our favorite potato salad to three different parties in the past month! Truth be told, I’m a little sick of potato salad too.)...

Bulgur Wheat Salad with Pomegranate + Walnut

October 4, 2013 by Faith 12 Comments

The first time I made this salad was last summer for a cookout at my parents’ house before Mike and I left for Kuwait. I wanted to bring a hearty salad, and I was trying to clean out my pantry and fridge when I found a bag of bulgur wheat in the pantry and a bottle of pomegranate molasses in the fridge. For some reason I thought combining the two in one dish was the best idea ever. As strange as this pairing might sound, it is pretty fantastic....

Millet Pilaf with Roasted Carrot + Fennel

April 29, 2013 by Faith 16 Comments

Millet is one of those things that doesn’t get a lot of action on the dinner table; actually, it’s probably more likely to be found in your birdfeeder. But (I’m going to try to convince you that) it’s a wonderful addition to mealtime too....

Wheat Berry Salad with Fruity Vinaigrette

July 9, 2012 by Faith 15 Comments

I had this salad for lunch four days in a row last week, and now that it’s gone I’ve been craving it.  It’s the sort of thing I could eat once a day all summer long and not get sick of.  Not only is it healthy, satisfying, and incredibly delicious, but it keeps amazingly well in the fridge all week (there’s nothing better than making lunch once and being set for four days…I think I’m going to make a double batch next time and be set with my hubby’s lunches too). But its addictive deliciousness is what keeps me coming back for more.  The secret […]...

Bean and Barley Salad {Vegan}

January 31, 2012 by Faith 23 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I prefer a romantic Valentine’s Day meal at home over a meal at most restaurants. That way you get to enjoy a quiet meal with your loved one in the comfort of your own home without any waiting or traveling…and I’m guessing the food is just as good (or better!)....
