We are big fans of the Frontera brand enchilada sauce so decided to give their other products a try. We used their taco skillet sauce to sauté some chickpeas, then layered them with spinach and cheese and made a quesadilla! It was delicious and added an extra kick so a standard quesadilla.

We were excited to come across a meat-free mulligatawny soup, inspired by one of our favorite classic Seinfeld episodes! What would Elaine think?

Since our trip to New York a few months back we’ve been planning to try our hands at Udon Soup. We finally found a good recipe on Produce On Parade for Veggie Miso Udon Soup!

Excellent recipe & simple to make, the only hitch is you need a good asian market near you! Home from work - 5:30pm Dinner Twonight - 6:15pm

A stick to your bones meal type of night...Coconut Curry Lentils & Potatoes. This is a great alternative to doing an overly fatty or starchy dish! We have made this previously but this time we tried green lentils which have a slightly firmer consistency than red.

Ingredients: (for two) 2 eggs 1 medium sized potato 1/4 cup cheese (shredded sharp cheddar above) 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp dried minced onion a dash of garlic powder salt & peper to taste Suggestions: a dash of cayenne or cumin to the potatoes will give them another layer of flavor if you want a little something more.

Delicious ‘post-ice skating’ mean! We went for a lovely afternoon in Philly, where we watched the sunset while ice skating at Penn’s Landing river rink. Then we walked the Market Street bridge to the Revolution House for dinner where we had shared their guacamole with malanga chips & calamari. Followed by C.J. having their pork sandwich(not pictured) and Kelsey had they house made veggie burger & wine!

As many people know the east coast of the u.s. has been hit with a huge winter storm and we spent the weekend snowed in! What better to do than make Pumpkin Pie Cinnamon Rolls? These are amazing and taste just as good as your favorite breakfast treat!
