Roasted Veggie Grilled Cheese

March 18, 2021 by Gretchen Blazer Thompson

Who doesn’t love grilled cheese? Add roasted veggies to make it a meal, even better!

You can roast whatever veggies you have on hand, but my favorite combination is zucchini, bell pepper, and onion. The combo is delicious and makes the sandwich feel heartier. Even better? You can roast the veggies ahead of time so the sandwich comes together in no time. Perfect for busy nights.

Black Bean Veggie Burgers with Cilantro and Jalapeño

August 25, 2020 by Gretchen Blazer Thompson

I like to think I’m a bit of a veggie burger connoisseur. I’ve ordered countless ones at restaurants over the years and tried even more recipes. It’s amazing how many bad veggie burgers there are out there! Many of the ones I’ve made have been the wrong texture or bland, until these.

These are hands down the best veggie burgers I’ve ever made. They’re flavorful, hearty, and the perfect texture. Dare I say these will even satisfy the carnivores in your life? Perfect for your next cookout or an easy weeknight dinner!

I love edamame, but the traditional steamed edamame with salt starts to get boring after a while.  That’s how this recipe was born.  About 10 years ago I was trying to come up with a new flavorful way to eat edamame and boy does this recipe deliver!  Garlicky, spicy, salty, three of my favorite food qualities.  10 years later and I’m still making it, so it must be good!

It’s quick, easy, and only requires 5 ingredients, all of which I always have on hand.  If you’re looking for a new weeknight recipe (let’s be serious, who isn’t?!), look no further!

You can serve the edamame with whatever you want, but I usually end up serving it with brown rice or potstickers.  Both of which I keep in the freezer meaning I’m less than 30 minutes away from a delicious dinner.
