I love the farm where I get my farm share each week. It’s thanks to them that I’m redoing this cauliflower curry recipe. This is my second year getting having a farm share from B & B Farms, and I still love going and getting […]
I don’t write a lot about vegetables. I’m clearly more of a sweets person. But this bright, flavorful Corn and Green Bean Salad with Lime is too good not to share with you. We love it. It’s a warm, all-vegetable salad, made mainly from frozen […]
This recipe isn’t particularly seasonal. Sweet potatoes are a fall vegetable, right? But then again, with the unseasonably cool weather New Jersey keeps having, a warming Sweet Potato and Peanut Stew sounds pretty hot right now. This thick and creamy pureed stew is warm and […]
This Slow Cooker Southwestern Bean and Barley Soup is a delicious and easy vegetarian meal. It’s been too long since I made it, and I’m so glad I tried it again! I originally wrote about this recipe in 2010 – it was #337 of my […]
This delicious recipe for roasted chickpeas and sweet potatoes is one of my favorite vegetarian recipes. It’s bright and hearty. Since everything cooks in the oven, it’s perfect for warming your house in the winter. We can all use more go-to vegetarian dinners, can’t we? […]
Honestly, I’m in a cooking rut. For every delicious dessert I write about (and I don’t even write about those frequently nowadays), there’s several evenings’ worth of dinner that I’m not interested in cooking. I can’t make a weekly dinner plan to save my life […]
I want to like lentils. They’re inexpensive, healthy, and quicker to cook than any beans around because you don’t have to soak them. I don’t use them often in part because I don’t know what to put them in. I’ve only made a few lentil […]
This recipe, Chickpeas with Spinach, has been one of my favorite quick meals to make recently. Originally an appetizer, I decided it looked substantial enough for a meal. I felt the same way about the version of it I made several years ago, too. That […]
Summer has been very hot in New Jersey this year. I don’t think it’s usually quite this hot, although I don’t know for certain as it’s only our second summer here. When the heat rivals summer in the Midwest, meals for us usually consist of […]
This One-Pan Farro with Tomatoes is one of my favorite new dishes. It’s vegan and takes only 10 minutes to prep before putting it on the stove and walking away!
I’m Leona. My superpowers are keeping my family stocked with cookies, and eating those cookies.
Thanks for joining me here for some of my favorite recipes! Mostly sweets, of course, but sometimes I bake bread and make other things, too.
