Marinated Eggplant with Orzo

November 20, 2020 by Nicole Coudal 6 Comments

Eggplant. Love it?  Hate it? Feelings about this funny-looking vegetable seem to be all over the board. If you love it, you happily gobble up garlicky Baba Ganoush or Caponata; you savor creamy Moussaka or veggie-filled Ratatouille; and you adore eggplant Parmesan. . . But if you’re not a fan, you may object to its…

White Beans with Pancetta

November 5, 2020 by Nicole Coudal 4 Comments

Temperatures dipped in Florida this week, so I opened the windows and started making soup, cookies and casseroles, because I love having something in the oven or simmering on the stove when cool weather arrives.  I also dug through cookbooks for inspiration and found a recipe in Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home: A Cookbook…

Veggie Fried Rice

October 15, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

When I was a kid, going out for Chinese food was a big deal.  Back then, there wasn’t a Chinese restaurant on every block, but in the suburbs of Boston, we knew where to go, and after 40 years I still remember the aromas that greeted us at the China Plaza.  The place was decked…

Mushroom & Leek Galette

September 24, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

If you don’t like mushrooms, you may want to move on from this post, because it’s all about the delicious fungi, and I simply cannot hide my adoration for them!  But if you decide to keep reading, that would really be great 🙂 In my effort to reduce meat intake, I’ve been poring through vegetable-forward…

Muffin Tin Herbed Potato Stacks

August 28, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

Have you heard of “COVID Cooking Fatigue”? You may not have heard about it, but I bet you’re feeling it!  That’s because many of us these days are preparing 3 meals a day at home, 7 days a week.  I don’t know about you, but it seems like whenever one meal is finished, I’m already…

Stuffed Portobello with Tarragon Crumbs

June 19, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

Prior to the mid-1990s, the concept of Portobello mushrooms on our home dinner plates was pretty much nonexistent.  We really only heard about these Italian-imported, fancy mushrooms from waiters describing the ingredients in our dishes at high-end restaurants, or we may have spotted them in natural food stores but had no idea what to do…

Roasted Radishes with Butter & Chives

May 7, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

Buying veggies directly from a farm is just plain fun. Many farms even utilize a Consumer Supported Agriculture (CSA) model in which you purchase a membership, and the farm, in turn, supplies you with a box of veggies each week (and sometimes it’s a surprise what’s in there).  It’s a great partnership because you support…

Chickpeas and Pasta

March 27, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

This week I dusted off M.F.K. Fisher’s How to Cook a Wolf.  It was published in 1942 and opens with a quote from American humanist Charlotte Perkins (Stetson) Gilman: “There’s a whining at the threshold, There’s a scratching at the floor.  To work!  To work!  In Heaven’s name!  The wolf is at the door!”   It…

Ricotta-Stuffed Chard

January 24, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

Many years ago I enjoyed delectable manicotti at a tiny Italian restaurant in Charlotte, NC.  I thought it was a little ‘interesting’ that there could be such an amazing dish in the southern city I called home for a short time, but when I learned that the chef originated from Italy, it all made sense…

Sauteed Collards with Lemon

January 9, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

We’re officially back to healthy eating at my house, so you can expect to see posts over the upcoming months highlighting fresh veggies, warm/cozy soups, and tasty snacks!  I think it’s safe to say that most of us are relieved the holiday hoopla is behind us, so I hope you’ll find something interesting here to…

Sweet Potatoes with Chipotle Cream

November 15, 2019 by Nicole Coudal

It seems like the humble sweet potato (or yam) is on just about every Thanksgiving table.  Who would have thought that a root vegetable with origins dating back roughly 5,000 years would still be so revered? If you’ve ever grown them yourself, you know how fun it is!  This marks my second year and my…

Curried Lentils & Rice

October 15, 2019 by Nicole Coudal

Several years ago, the documentary Forks Over Knives hit the streets.  It was all about the benefits of eating plant-based (vs. animal-based) food in order to ward off cancer or other unhealthy stuff.  I didn’t watch it until recently, when I re-upped my Netflix subscription, and I found it eye-opening. . . I believe there are…
