  Comfort Food

  Posted on March 26, 2012 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Vegetarian

    Hello you lovely readers :) Did everyone enjoy their weekend? Did you do anything fun? I certainly didn’t do a whole lot. REB is in Chicago for a few days for a conference and he left on Saturday and will be back on Wednesday night, late. I had a pretty low key weekend though, [...]

  Vegetarian Croque-Monsieur

  Posted on February 24, 2012 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  In keeping up with my obsession with Paris, I decided to make a vegetarian croque-monsieur. If you’ve never had a croque-monsieur before, it’s basically a glorified French grilled ham and expensive-cheese sandwich. Well ham is not so much our cup of tea, so instead we used tomato. Pin It It doesn’t take very long to [...]

  Lemon Grilled Tofu with Mediterranean Chopped Salad

  Posted on February 8, 2012 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Salads, Vegetarian

    The winter blues. OK scratch that. We haven’t really had much of a winter here, but it’s gone back to the weird, annoying cold weather. I swear, one day it’s in the mid-40s and the next it’s in the 20s. It’s also sad that I find 40-degree weather to be warm. Ah, Michigan. So [...]

  Salade Chèvre Chaud

  Posted on January 21, 2012 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Salads, Vegetarian

  Warm goat cheese salad. It was our favorite thing to eat at the Café Bosquet in Paris during our honeymoon. We’ve made this before, but we revisited it tonight and OH. EM. GEE. I won’t lie, it turned out even better. And tasted even better. So I thought it might be nice to re-post the [...]

  Tofu Piccata

  Posted on January 10, 2012 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  Tofu piccata was on the menu tonight! Once again, we went searching in the great Internet space to find another recipe that used tofu and REB found a recipe featured in the Vegetarian Times. It was actually a recipe made with seitan, but we had tofu in our fridge (like we usually do) so we [...]

  Tofu Marsala

  Posted on December 30, 2011 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  We had some leftover tofu in our fridge, so we decided to make something with it that wasn’t Asian-themed. Our usual go to is to make General’s Tofu, but we had that last night, so we wanted to find a recipe that used tofu differently. We found a recipe online for Tofu Marsala and it [...]

  Back in Paris

  Posted on October 17, 2011 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  Believe me, the photos from the trip are coming! I got through a lot of photos today from our first stop: Paris. I can’t stop thinking about Paris. I have been there before when I was 18 or 19 with my sister for three days. We packed too much into those three days and couldn’t [...]

  Eggplant Parmesan

  Posted on September 3, 2010 by Aparna B. in Italian, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  I’ve never made eggplant Parmesan before. So I decided to make it tonight. Couldn’t be that hard, right? It wasn’t. The recipe I made I thought would serve just us two, but I think it could have easily fed 3-4 people. Starting line up: •1 large eggplant, cut into rounds 1/2-inch thick •2 eggs, beaten [...]

  Tomato Bread Salad

  Posted on August 23, 2010 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Salads, Vegetarian

  I’m hanging on to every ounce of summer. I love fall, don’t get me wrong. It’s my favorite season, but there is one thing I absolutely love about the summer. I love eating fresh fruit and vegetables, but I especially love it in the summer time when you know it was grown fresh near you. [...]

  Truffle Mac and Cheese

  Posted on August 3, 2010 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Pasta, Vegetarian

  It was fancy dinner night in our household. REB found a recipe for truffle mac and cheese and so we tried it out. Now, I’m not a huge mushroom person. I’m warming up to the taste of them, but it’s a slow process. However since we’re vegetarians, we need to find protein in other forms, [...]
