Hi, I’m Beth, and I’m a carbivore. You read that right. Show me a carb, and I will want it. Need it. CRAVE it. Especially if that carb is a potato. It’s a bit of a problem. But if a potato could be the star of the show, the main event, the center of my plate,…

How to Cook Spaghetti Squash
Note: The original version of this post was shared in June 2014. In that time I’ve nerded out about spaghetti squash like I never would have imagined, learning a ton in the process, and many fantastic people have shared their knowledge in the comments. If you want to see the original post, check it out…
Roasted Winter Slaw
Roasted cabbage has been on my “to-try” list for years, literally. And for whatever reason, it wasn’t until recently that I finally gave it a shot in this roasted winter slaw. An experiment/idea with low risk, since cabbage is cheap. And yet…when I pulled the tray of perfectly roasted cabbage out of the oven, I…
Fall Roasted Vegetables
You guys, it’s November. To quote one of my new favorite television characters, Eleanor from The Good Place, “What the fork?” I mean, seriously. How are we already talking about Thanksgiving? Halloween already feels like it was a long time ago. Speaking of…these two. The cuteness is almost too much to take. Oh, and that’s…
Easy Roasted Chickpeas
My oven is broken. I cook for a living, so this is what they call a classic crappy situation. The oven turns on, and it heats up, but it can’t regulate the temperature inside. If I set it to 425F, it heats up to 550F and locks automatically. This is not what you want to…
Pressure Cooker Quinoa (Instant Pot)
If you’ve been hanging around these parts for a while, you’ll know that I’m a big fan of my pressure cooker. Specifically, my Instant Pot. And if you continue to hang around these parts for a while (yay!), you’ll either start using the Instant Pot you already have, or you’ll buy one and start using…
Buffalo Chickpea Lettuce Wraps
FOOTBALL! SPORTS! WEEKENDS! So, apparently, a lot of people get even more excited for weekends come the Fall. For many years, I was the opposite of those people. That’s not to say that I’m a tailgater now or anything, it’s just that part of my former job required me to know way more about football…
Vegan Southwestern Potato Salad
It’s been a year since I left corporate life, and there’s not much that I miss about it. But I do miss my boss, Dana. He was the best boss ever, not just because he was good at his job and helped me be good at mine, but because he ended up being my friend,…
Pressure Cooker Mexican Rice
Here’s a little trivia about me. I can’t roll my R’s. I know, I know, that’s pretty personal, but what I can I say? I’m an open book. Every so often, I get the urge to try again, in case my tongue has matured over the years and will suddenly just “know” what to do….
Super Green Spring Salad
Everything is green here and I couldn’t be happier about it. So I decided to celebrate in salad form with ALL THE GREEN THINGS. Ok, maybe not ALL the green things. But I think we can agree that a plethora of spring’s greenery is represented in that bowl. Verde, verde, verde. And now I want…
