Sweet Potato, Black Bean and Quinoa Cakes
I love the flavors and textures in these Sweet Potato, Black Bean and Quinoa Cakes. These make great appetizers or snacks and pair great with a sour cream-Dijon dressing. From the original site: The cumin and rosemary pair well with the sweet potatoes in this dish, and the walnuts do, too. They also add a bit of crunch to the soft cakes. The quinoa and black beans help hold things together and keep the cakes moi…

Back to School Lunch: “Sushi” Sandwich Wraps
My 7 year old is a big fan of sushi… and generally he is not going to get it for school lunches, he’s not a cheap date as it is! And I’ve seen all kinds of cute bento boxes and other clever lunches out there, but most of those seem way to much effort for my life! But turning a lunchmeat and cheese rollup into sushi rolls is definitely something I can handle. And no, I did not give these to my 2nd gra…

Mozzarella & Pecorino Romano “Stacked” Shells with Beef, Carrots and Celery
I’m known for never making the obvious and never doing the same thing everyone else does. I try to get creative every time I cook and this recipe is no exception. I started cooking without a game plan — I simply started to chop up a few veggies and let the rest happen naturally. It’s a bit scary to cook this way, but sometimes the stars align and this is the beautiful and delicious end result. S…
Perkedel, Potato Corn Beef Patty
These potato patties are crispy on the outside & soft inside, really delicious. I like adding Corn Beef to my recipe but the meat is optional. You must try these if you haven’t & they’re not difficult to make at home. You could also mould them into cartoon shapes for fussy kids to make a lunch box for them!
