I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Sunshine Sweet Corn. I received a gift card to purchase a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. I’ve made a fresh Tex-Mex Grilled Corn and Tomato Salad for you today, with Cinco de [...]
There seems to be a general lack of Paleo or even gluten-free Veggie Burger recipes around. When I saw “paleo” recipes with beans in them it reminded me of when my daughter was on a gluten & casein free diet and I couldn’t find any gluten-free veggie burgers in the store. It annoyed me. Now [...]
I wasn’t really planning a vegetarian theme here on Mom Foodie, but as I was writing up this carrot quinoa recipe, I realized that no meat has shown up in my recipes in almost two weeks. I guess Easter approaching has inspired me to make rabbit food…lol. No fears, my carnivorous friends, I have no [...]
I love Tex-Mex food & have been making my killer Mexican lasagna, for about 20 years now. I also often make simple casseroles from the broken tortilla chips my daughter rejects (she is a bit of a Prima Donna & snubs the broken crumbs). I just mix in some salsa and maybe some beans and [...]
This easy mushroom bruschetta recipe was made for my dinner a couple days ago. While my 5 year old has not yet cultivated a taste for mushrooms, I adore them, and often incorporate nutrient dense fungi into entrees as a flavorful low calorie meat extender or substitute . Since mushrooms are also an outstanding source [...]
I sometimes toss together vegetarian quinoa recipes for dinner, when I don’t feel like dealing with cooking meat. This Buttermilk Quinoa Casserole with Portabella Mushrooms came together last night on a whim. While I made it as a casserole, the quinoa could just as easily be simmered on the stove top, with the cheese stirred [...]
I love pretty much anything buffalo style, but am trying to trim down a bit for spring, so I needed a low calorie snack version tonight. This Buffalo Roasted Cauliflower recipe is super simple, just 2 ingredients other than the cauliflower. Cauliflower is low in calories and glycemic load. So it is a fantastic choice [...]
I wanted a healthy snack last night, so I whipped together a quick and easy Roasted Red Pepper Bean Dip. I had a roasted red pepper in the fridge from earlier in the week (if you haven’t roasted peppers before, it is very easy and the results are far better than store bought jarred ones [...]
I was craving butternut squash lasagna a few days ago, and lucky for me I had some steamed cubed squash on-hand from an earlier meal. That’s about where my “too lazy to go to the store” luck ran out… or so I thought at first. My cheese selection was mostly non-existent. I did have a [...]
Why a vegan gluten-free burger recipe, from someone who doesn’t follow either diet? I like a challenge, and it really bugged me, that while my daughter was on the gluten-free diet, I couldn’t find veggie burgers for her. I was also surprised how many of the ready-made veggie burgers on the market are actually not [...]
