I purchased this product with my own money. I am not in any way affiliated with Quorn. These thoughts and opinions are my own. Quorn is something I had never heard of until my son decided he wanted to become a vegetarian. I was searching for a meat substitute to use once in a while…

Tofu Parmigiano
I haven’t talked much about my daughter’s school before but it is a big part of our days. She attends Connections Academy. It is not homeschool but also not traditional school. She has lessons given to her online and has teachers, in a building near Lansing, that hold lessons online a few times a week….
Refrigerator Spaghetti
Sometimes I need a quick meal on the table in under 30 minutes. This is it! The kids had lessons and needed to eat before we left for the night. Both of them were hungry and wanted food. I need to have a dish that is easy to put together and they will be happy…
Clam Chowder
I am glad my son has agreed to be a pescatarian, one who eats fish or seafood but not meat. It has been a huge adjustment over the past month and a half since he has decided to be a vegetarian. But, I really believe it has improved all our eating habits and made us…
Stuffed Portobello Mushroom Caps and Things I Want My Kids to Know Before They Leave for College
I have a list of things I want my kids to be able to do before they go off to college. This isn’t some grand list of trips and theories but of simple practical life skills that I feel they need to be able to do before I let them loose on the world. Do…
Tilapia with White Wine and Caper Sauce and My Memories of September 11, 2001
I have decided to write a little bit about today and my memories of September 11, 2001. My daughter was just about 16 months old. It was a sunny day in New York and she was playing in the living room. I remember clearly watching her play in the sun’s rays, chasing the bits of…
Faux Vegetarian “Big Macs” with Homemade French Fries
We eat at fast food restaurants about 8-10 times a year. Mostly we stop when we are traveling and need something quick while we are driving. Rarely do we stop at one to just have dinner. One of the things that my partner likes is a Big Mac from McDonald’s. Every time she eats one…
Vegetarian Sloppy Joes over Corn Bread
I love Fall. It is my favorite season. I always think of Back to School time as the real New Year’s Day. We get to start all over again. It is a new school year with new teachers, new clothes and a hopeful feeling for a great year. It transfers over to our house too….
Stir Fry with Asian Brown Garlic Sauce
A few weeks ago I hurt my knee. Nothing big but it takes 6-8 weeks of resting it to heal. If it does not heal after that then we start talking surgery. It will heal! I am trying to stay off it as much as possible which is difficult. In and out of the car,…
Southwest Sauce over Spaghetti
It is tax season in our house. Well, the last of two tax seasons actually. I prepare personal income taxes from February through April and then my partner works in a State Tax Department so her busy season is mid-August through early December. What that basically means is she gets up and arrives at work…
Slow Cooker Vegetarian Chili over Baked Potatoes
The other day my son and I went out to lunch downtown at The Food District as a special treat. He chose Macaroni and Cheese with Crab and Lobster and I chose the OB Glad Foccacia Pizza. My pizza was bacon, sausage, pepperoni, onion and tomatoes on foccacia bread. Both dishes were amazing! I was…
Vegetarian Shepherds Pie
As much as I find my son’s decision to become a vegetarian overwhelming to my menu planning and cooking in the past three weeks I think I have eaten more vegetables than I have in the past year. I have noticed that all of us are eating less processed foods and less sugary foods even…
