I’ve been meaning to make a batch of soynut butter noodles for awhile now. We used to enjoy sauces made from peanut butter fairly often, before we learned our son has a nut allergy. Now we only have soynut butter in the house. We make a lot of soynut butter sandwiches, but I hadn’t gotten…
Sautéed Fiddlehead Ferns
This Sautéed Fiddlehead Ferns recipe is an easy way to enjoy this spring seasonal vegetable. The appearance of fiddlehead ferns at the grocery store is a sign of spring for me.

The result was this hearty Grilled Portobello Mushroom Pasta recipe….

Linguine with Meatless Meat Sauce
I first came to enjoy tempeh, the cultured soy protein, when Jodi was eating vegetarian back in the early days of our relationship…and my cooking journey. Though many of the plant based meals I made then stuck with us after she evolved to an omnivore’s diet, tempeh is one of those things I hadn’t made…

Porcini Mushroom Risotto with a Nebbiolo
I’m loving the way we are making are way around the map of Italy for the new monthly Italian Food, Wine and Travel event started by Jen at Vino Travels.
