Hello Darlings! After a brief hiatus, darling Heather from Better With Veggies has brought back her Meatless Mondays from A-Z challenge for round two! We are back to the beginning of the alphabet and this week, A is for Avocado. I happen to like avocados. They are full of good fats, lots of vitamins and nutrients, and are colloquially referred to as alligator pears- a pretty fabulous name if I do say so myself. However, as much as a foodie as I am, I’m quite weird about texture. ... Read More about Meatless Monday: Pestoed Mushroom-Stuffed Baked Avocados

Meatless Monday: Broiled Tropical Fruit Salad
Hello Darlings! One of the great things about winter is the abundance of tropical fruit available. If you’ve been reading ChickadeeSays for a while now, you know that fruit is one of the three foods that I could survive on (the others are cheese and bread for you newcomers- welcome by the way!). So, couple my sweet tooth with all of the tropical fruit cluttering up my kitchen counters, and you get a very tasty, and yet super simple Broiled Tropical Fruit Salad. Ingredients: - ...

Meatless Monday: Brie, Mushroom, and Asparagus Crostini
Hello Darlings! I love simple meals. When I was in college I worked at a sporting goods store across from a gorgeous Whole Foods Market. Starving, at the end of each shift I picked up a fresh baguette, a round of fresh mozzarella, and a bottle of wine (or six- if you buy six you get a 10% discount!) and made a simple crostini mean with a splash of olive oil and a dash of sea salt.

Meatless Monday: Butternut Squash and Zucchini Pasta with Dilled Vodka Vinaigrette
Hello Darlings! One of the (many) perks of having a mother who is in the process of getting certified as a Natural Health Practitioner is that I get to play with lots of fun kitchen toys. Vitamix anyone? So when I saw that this week’s ingredient for Better With Veggies Meatless Monday A-Z Challenge was vodka, my mind immediately flew to ‘spiralizer’ (I’m odd, I know). If you don't know, a spiralizer is a machine that slices ribbons from vegetables in a fluid motion, and turns out a product ...
