10 Vegetarian Thanksgiving Ideas
Are you still deciding on your Thanksgiving menu? (I won’t judge.) I’m not preparing the whole meal, because we’ll be at my parents’ house this year, but I am bringing a couple of dishes. Since I’m a vegetarian, I’ll be skipping the turkey and gravy. I’ve never felt deprived on Thanksgiving, though. My family’s traditional sides […]
Zucchini Corn Pizza
I was one of those kids who adamantly did not like zucchini. Even though I don’t think I had even tried it, and I definitely couldn’t tell you what I didn’t like about it. But if zucchini was in something and I knew about it, I wasn’t eating it. Now I have a strong suspicion […]

Cherry Tomato and Chard Pizza Margherita
The cherry tomatoes in my garden are finally ripening, and now I have the fun of figuring out how to eat them all. This weekend I grabbed a bag of pre-made pizza dough from Trader Joe’s and put ’em on a pizza, along with some chard and basil from my garden. That’s about as local […]
