Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
Since my beau was out with friends last night, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to try a new recipe that, because it was meat-free, I knew wouldn’t be up his alley. Now, hearing that a supper is vegetarian is almost enough to scare me away, too, but this quinoa bowl is pretty…

My go-to shrimp accompaniment is pasta. But I’m trying to be healthy on weeknights (ugh, kill me) and I’d already had pasta the night before so I felt I’d hit my quota and needed to slow my roll. Instead, I made a salad, but I jacked it up with lots of Southwestern flava so I…

I use the term lasagna loosely here. Basically, what you’re going to do is layer zucchini, tomato, tuna, and cheese.
