This is manicotti meats Mexico. I have no idea how these Spinach Florentine Enchiladas popped into my head, but it did. And now I'm thinking of what else I can enchilada-ize. Eggplant parm enchiladas? Lasagna enchiladas? Who knows what I'll come up with next. I honestly wanted Florentine, but didn't want to deal with manicotti or stuffed shells version of it. I thought, lasagna roll ups. Nah. What could I use? And then it hit me. Tortillas! Why not? So, I did. I keep trying to … [Read more...]
Pasta Carbonara
I have resisted making this. No. I’ve never made pasta carbonara. It’s full of eggs, and cheese, and fattening things. So, no. I’ve never made pasta carbonara…until now. I’m not entirely sure when where or why I decided to put this on the menu. I wasn’t even sure how it was going to turn out. I put it on for #MeatlessMonday. Yes. I know it’s supposed to have pancetta or something like that in it. And, well, ours wasn’t ENTIRELY meatless. Did you know that … [Read more...]

As opposed to those that don't have to work and will still get paid. How does that sound? Lovely! *sigh* The worst was last Friday when they told us we weren't … [Read more...]
Argentinian Style Tarta de Verduras
I honestly don't know how this came about. I mean, I think I did a search for meatless meals on Pinteresting and then just ran rampant. For the most part, I kept getting Tarta Pascualina in my search results. While that looks yummy, whole, real eggs, aren't in our diet. And I think it would lose something in the translation if we went to egg substitutes. Then, about 4 pages into the search results, I stumbled on verduras... I wandered aimlessly around those search results and got the … [Read more...]
