  RLB’s Warm Pasta Salad

  Posted on June 25, 2010 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Pasta, Salads, Sides, Vegetarian

  REB’s brother makes the most amazing warm pasta salad. We’ve made it a few times and I’ve posted pictures of it on Flickr, but I decided it was time to post the recipe since I actually asked REB to tell me how much of what he put in. This pasta salad evolved when REB and [...]

  Tindora Curry (Kundru)

  Posted on June 21, 2010 by Aparna B. in Food, Indian, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  I made Tindora Curry or Kundru (as it’s pronounced in Telugu) tonight. It is definitely not my favorite, but REB absolutely loves it after he had it at my parents house. My mom, of course, makes it the best, but I tried tonight and it actually turned out pretty good. So good that I even [...]

  Stuffed Crust Pizza

  Posted on June 4, 2010 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  Made homemade pizza tonight. Have I mentioned how much I love to do this than ordering in? I mean, it’s so simple to make your own dough! Ah, the little things in life. This time we opted out of making individual pizzas and just made a bigger one and saved the rest of the dough [...]

  Tofu Lo Mein

  Posted on May 29, 2010 by Aparna B. in Asian, Food, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  Had some tofu in the house and I didn’t want to make stir fry since we eat so much rice in this household! Substitute spaghetti and you got some lo mein! Here’s what you need: •1 pound spaghetti – although we probably should have used 3/4 of the box. And whole wheat. •1 package of [...]

  Mexican Lasagna

  Posted on May 26, 2010 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Mexican, Vegetarian

  If anyone has seen my recipe for the vegetarian enchiladas, this is basically a variation on it. When I’d make the enchiladas, I’d roll them up, pour the sauce over the whole thing, bake it and then when we’d try to cut into it, it was hard to find where the individual rolled up tortillas [...]

  Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers

  Posted on May 25, 2010 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  One of my favorite dishes when I ate meat was stuffed bell peppers. I loved the way the rice, tomatoes, spices and meat all married together to make a delicious meal. I made the same dish tonight, only I made them vegetarian. In an effort to be more healthy, REB and I started cooking at [...]

  Once-Every-Two-Months Garlic Cream Sauce

  Posted on April 7, 2010 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Sauces, Vegetarian

  You’ve been warned. REB and I had some tortellini in the fridge, which we decided to make since it’d be quick and it was getting late into the evening. It was store-bought tortellini because I don’t have time to make fresh pasta. While we’re on the subject, if someone wants to buy me the pasta [...]

  Rainbow Pasta

  Posted on March 11, 2010 by Aparna B. in Food, Italian, Main Dish, Pasta, Vegetarian

  Michigan has graced us with four consecutive days of beautiful Springtime weather. This wouldn’t be such a big deal, except, this time last year it snowed for the last time for the season. And it snowed a LOT. I know it’s coming. I know it. We always get one more dump of snow and then [...]

  Mattar tofu

  Posted on January 31, 2010 by Aparna B. in Food, Indian, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  I make a lot of Indian curries. There is one that REB absolutely loves, called mattar paneer. However, I don’t make it that often since it’s pretty much the most unhealthy thing one could eat. Paneer is a type of cheese, similar to feta, but it’s really bad for your health. Not only that, but [...]

  Easy Peasy Baked Mac and Cheesy

  Posted on January 23, 2010 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Pasta, Vegetarian

  The ultimate comfort food, and just so happens to be one of (out of many many many) my favorite foods EVER. Pasta and cheese? Yes, please! I don’t make it that often because it’s obviously not the greatest thing for your figure. But when it’s the weekend, and I need that ultimate comfort food, this [...]
