          I don't know about you, but when I hear the word "casserole," I instantly think of comfort food.  And as a self-proclaimed "cook," I also associate casseroles with an easy and relaxing cooking experience.  Trust me, I love to cook, but I will never ever complain about a simple and [...]

          Before this meal, I had only ever heard of stuffed peppers.  I saw them on menus at restaurants, in recipes in health and cooking magazines, and on television cooking shows.  Despite their frequent appearance in the food world, I must admit that the idea of eating a whole pepper was [...]

        You may remember from my recent post for "Meatloaf" Veggie Burgers that one of the only foods that I really miss since becoming a vegetarian is my dad's meatloaf.  I have developed a great alternative with my Vegetarian "Meatloaf," but wanted to spice things up a bit (literally) and make a Mexican [...]

          I know what you are probably thinking..."for a girl who never used to like mushrooms, she sure does post a lot of recipes with them!"  And you would be right.  I fully admit that my taste buds were steered wrong in the past.  I was fooled by the strange looks [...]
