The holidays are just around the corner, and everyone has their favorite dishes. One dish that I dream about throughout the year is my mom’s pineapple stuffing. While pineapple might not be the first thing you think of when it comes to stuffing, I promise it’s worth a try.  Typically, we think of stuffing as a savory dish made with chicken stock and seasoned with sage and thyme. But my mom completely changed my perspective when she started making this easy dish years ago. With just a few ingredients, you’ll have a rich and flavorful stuffing that tastes like dessert,…

Lentil lovers, these lentil burgers are for you! These hearty meatless burgers are made with familiar and wholesome ingredients, unlike many store-bought options these days. My Favorite Veggie Burgers are still my go-to, but these lentil burgers come in second. These burgers are flavored with grated carrot, fresh cilantro or parsley, onion and garlic, and spices, including chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Two eggs are optional (omit them for vegan burgers), but they provide extra moisture and a lighter texture. The recipe comes together beautifully in the food processor. Like my veggie burgers, these lentil burgers turn out best…

This recipe was inspired by Chipotle’s tofu option called “sofritas.” Have you tried it? I often order it on my burrito bowl for some additional plant-based protein. It’s hearty, saucy and spicy, and makes the extra three-dollar charge for guacamole worthwhile. I based this recipe directly on Chipotle’s ingredient list. Then, I played around with the amounts and the method until it tasted just right. Honestly, I like this version even better! It tastes fresh, flavorful and nicely spiced. Sometimes Chipotle’s sofritas are so spicy that they overwhelm the other flavors in my bowl. Continue to the recipe…The post Sofritas…

I’m always a fan of more adorable outposts for coffee, breakfast, and baked goods, and last spring Uptown Westerville added a prime example: Begin Cafe! Begin Cafe inhabits a small storefront on East Main Street, just off the main drag. The space has been lovingly refreshed in light creams, yellows, and greens, with a tin roof, tile backsplash and flooring, little cafe tables throughout. It’s just the type of place you want to hole up on a chilly fall day, especially when they’re rolling out seasonal lattes. Begin’s coffee menu covers drip coffee, pour overs, espresso, plus tea, chai, and…
