Some days all I want to do is throw a bunch of ingredients in a pot for dinner. Well this recipe is just that. Minimal prep, simple ingredients, quick, and absolutely delicious.
This one-pot lentil bolognese is packed with flavor, from fresh basil to sun-dried tomatoes. Enveloped in a rich, flavorful tomato sauce with lentils and topped with fresh basil and red pepper flakes. If you’re looking for a lazy, simple dinner meal then you’ve found the right recipe.
…During my time in Spain, there were many dishes to drool over. From vegetable paella, to creamy gelato…it was all some of the best food I have ever eaten. However, there is one dish that keeps coming back to mind, because it feeds my obsession with potatoes. Patatas Bravas!
Crispy, golden brown potatoes smothered with a slightly sweet, paprika tomato-based sauce. I have paired it with a garlicy aioli that will make this a match made in heaven.
The Bravas sauce pairs perfectly with almost anything. Smother it on a sandwich, top it on some freshly toasted bread, or throw a few dollops in a stew. The aromas themselves while making this will make you want to dive in right away.
This recipe is extremely simple and easy to make, it just requires some patience and an eager appetite.
Feel free to make your favorite aioli to pair with this, or use the recipe I have provided down below. Sprinkle with some fresh or dried basil, and you got yourself the perfect main or side dish. …
This is one of my favorite recipes that I have brought to you, because it screams easy, affordable, and accessible. It may not seem like it, but I haved provided you with a breakdown of the cost and how the ingredients are simple and easy to prepare.

I have partnered up with Compassion in World Farming USA to bring you this recipe. They recently launched their new campaign, Eat Plants. For a Change. They work to create a humane and sustainable farming system through encouraging people to consume fewer animal products. An interesting component of this organization is that their food business program works with food businesses to improve animal welfare. They strategize with these businesses, like fast-food chains, to improve the quality of life and care of animals in commercial farming.

It’s a few days after thanksgiving and I am sure your fridge is still stocked with leftovers. I’ve got bags of stuffing, mushroom gravy, brussel sprout salad, mashed potatoes, and more. That only means I have the ability to get creative in the kitchen with making leftover recipes!
I had a bunch of leftover brussel sprouts, toasted pecans, and cranberry sauce, so I utilized that and created this simple, yet delicious creation. A maple and balsamic laced sweet potato stuffed with balsamic roasted brussel sprouts, juicy cranberries, toasted pecans and topped with a tart cranberry sauce. The medley of these flavors is spot on.
Of course you may not have all the leftover food that I had to create this recipe, but any leftover roasted veggies will work to replace the brussel sprouts!
The way that you eat this recipe does count. Make sure to get in a peice of the sweet potato skin and flesh, a brussel sprout, pecan, and a bit of the cranberry dressing. You will thank me later! …
Now I have to say it is pretty hard to make tofu actually taste good. Tofu is so bland as it is, and unless you make it really crispy and marinate it for a long time then it will just taste like a wet sponge.
This recipe shows you that tofu can taste good and make you want to come back for more. By marinating it for at least an hour (longer is better, but I try to create easier recipes for you), crisping it up by baking AND pan-frying it, pairing it with a rich and delicious kaffir lime leave pesto….well it could not get better than that! …
