Who Needs Meat?

I feel so good after eating a delicious vegetarian meal, but I haven't found a wide range of dishes that are truly satisfying. Until now. 

This is one of those dishes that you can enjoy completely and after eating it there will be no thoughts of how nice it was to have eaten a vegetarian meal. Those thoughts won't exist because you won't even know that you didn't eat meat. 

I think it's because there are so many flavours happening in one yummy dish that I don't miss the meat, but I'll let you decide yourself after eating it. Read on for the recipe. 

Dill-icious

Dill is very much like cilantro in the sense that you either love it or hate it. I am in the love it field and embrace the flavour with open arms, especially when it comes to salmon. I love dill paired with salmon!

Today's recipe is a perfectly dill-icious sauce to serve with salmon. The only thing you should remember when you're making it is that it's really important to use Greek yogurt or your sauce will be really thin. 

Homemade Nutella

Sometimes the best things in life are free, or at least less than if you bought them already made. Nutella has always been one of life's little treats and now I've learned how to make it at home. 

I love smearing my toast with this chocolaty goodness in the morning and the little specks of salt from the real hazelnuts make the extra amount of work to make it from scratch worth it. 

Come on, you know want you want a bite. Read on for the recipe! 

A Whale of Kale Goodness

I don't think that anchovies, a tiny little tin of them, can count as meat. To me it's more like using chicken stock, just a little flavour enhancer. I know true vegetarians won't agree with me, but for me it works. 

Do you want to know the real best part of this meal, a part no one can argue with me about? It's that this dinner took only 20 minutes to get it to the table. And that included the prep time! 

Celebrate!

I don't have anything specific to celebrate right now, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't celebrate. I think that celebrating is something that should be done on regular basis. Maybe I'm only celebrating a beautiful day or the fact that I finally got caught up on laundry, but I'm celebrating all the same. 

This lasagna was inspired by a recipe I found on Chatelaine's website and they called it Celebration Lasagna. I wasn't sure why it was named that until I took my first bite. 

Thigh in the Sky

Some sauces taste so good that I don't want to try making them. I expect that they'll be difficult and have too many ingredients.

Today's chicken thigh recipe proves that not all great sauces have a lot of ingredients nor are they always hard to make. Plus, the best part is that there's no cream in this sauce, I really thought something this good would have cream!

Not Your Grandma's Gremolata

This is one of the most eye catching meals I've made in a long time. I'm not trying to toot my own horn (not much anyway) but I think it looks really pretty and colourful. 

This is my second recipe of the week for chicken thighs and its completely different from the stuffed chicken thigh dish I shared a few days ago. So I hope you don't let a big container of chicken thighs scare you the next time you see them on sale!
