What do you like to eat with couscous?! In the past, I've had it with roasted veggies (like squash), and recently I've tried roasted eggplant, but it didn't quite hit the spot for me. I found a yummy couscous recipe with pine nuts, scallions and raisins, and am perfectly happy to eat just...

I have two jobs, and my second job finishes right around the time all the restaurants in my neighborhood close. ? I have to learn how to cook again, and I'm struggling. I need some help. I'm low on time and energy, so I need simple and/or save-able things that I can quickly make or reheat for...

I tried some angel hair and liked it a lot more than the penne! Thanks for the suggestions! ;)

I've recently discovered rosé sauce and I am hopelessly in love. ? But I had it with penne and some veggie crumbles (vegetarian ground beef substitute) and felt that these detracted from the sauce somehow. ? The crumbles felt too heavy and the penne just didn't seem right for the rosé texture...

That looks insanely convenient! Amazing what you can find in the spice aisle these days ??

Tomatoes are okay generally speaking (I love marinara as much as the next girl) but for some reason I don't like tomatoes in guacamole. Sundried tomatoes, same deal. I've had them in pasta dishes etc and never batted an eye, but trying them in guac made me decide to leave them out when making my...

Hello all :) I recently decided to give making my own guacamole a try. I found a recipe that I like but it includes one thing I just can't get behind: sundried tomatoes ?. So naturally, I tried going along with the recipe (red and green onion, lime juice, salt and pepper, cilantro), and just...

It just didn't feel right to me anymore. I figure when you feel guilty about something it's time to quit doing it. :) It's been a gradual progression. I quit eating pork in high school, and red meat my freshman year, poultry last year and seafood this year. But I don't hold anything against...

I went vegetarian this year and have recently started making an effort to eat "better," whatever that really means. Mainly, I've been trying to eat more veggies and protein and less pizza (cheese and bread). Basically this seems to mean salad (which I'm quite tired of at this point) or tofu...

Hi all, I went vegetarian earlier this year and am currently struggling to find some decent recipes. I've been pretty bad about just throwing a quick salad together or just making a cheese quesadilla. I desperately need more variety! And definitely more protein... but preferably not beans...

It's Americanized Chinese. But I still can't figure out what I'm doing... Almost every time my roommate and I order Chinese, I get Curry Chicken. I don't know if it's the same everywhere... but here, it's basically chicken, onion, green pepper, and some other vegetables depending on where it...

I went to the grocery store hungry one day and bought mushroom ravioli. I don't really know what I was thinking, I've never done anything with mushroom ravioli before, and now I have no idea what to eat it with. Red sauce doesn't sound super appealing for some reason. What kind of sauce would...

I've been eating a lot of tilapia lately. I put it in a foil "packet" with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic salt, and some spicy seasoning. I really love it this way, but I know I'll get sick of it soon if this is the only thing I ever do with it! What are some of your favorite ways to use tilapia?

Oooh jalapeno... I think we actually have something like that in the fridge... sounds like I have a plan for lunch tomorrow! :)

Jarlsberg. Hmmm. I've never tried it before! This sounds amazing though. It's kind of hard to go wrong with bread and cheese. :D
