Sriracha Egg Salad - Day 5

Nick (newly obsessed with Sriracha) is making us Sriracha Egg Salad Sandwiches for lunch today. Looks delicious!

Mediterranean - Day 2

Tonight we went out for dinner at our local Mediterranean restaurant. They have the best falafel sandwiches but tonight we went for the mezza-style dinner (small plates or appetizers). Nick and I shared the following:
Baba Ganouj with pita
Spiced Green Beans in a tomato based sauce
Vegetarian Stuffed Grape Leaves
Feta Stuffed Dates w/ pomegranate syrup

It was super delicious and surprisingly filling. I think the grape leaves were my favorite. They are stuffed with a spicy mixture of rice and chick peas and served with a tangy yogurt sauce. I must learn how to make these!

Meatless March Day 1

To kick off Meatless March 2012 I'm making Curry Tempeh stir-fry for dinner tonight. I don't have an onion or mushrooms though so tonight's version will be garlic, asparagus, carrots and red pepper. I also don't have any prepackaged curry sauce so I'll be making some from scratch using curry powder and maybe some sriracha sauce.

I'll be serving it with jasmine rice and naan & hummus. Yum!

Meatless March

We've been wanting to try it for a while so Nick and I have committed to going vegetarian for the month of March. I've been "pinning" vegetarian recipes and I'll be posting some here to help us keep it interesting. If you're not already vegetarian/vegan, join us for the #MeatlessMarch challenge!

Gruyere Popovers

 I happened to pick up gruyere cheese recently simply because it's something I don't see often and had never tried it. It's a really nutty/bitter hard cheese and wasn't sure what to do with it. Then I came across this recipe over at Martha Stewart's website. I had recently acquired a popover tin and hadn't used it yet so I went for it and made these this morning. So good! And only 4 ingredients: flour, milk, eggs, cheese (well, and a pinch of salt).

I halved the recipe and only made 6 instead of 12. Served them cut in half with butter and jam.
