Grated Raw Beet Salad with Jicama, Avocado, and Orange

Original Recipe from the Vegetarian TimesThis was a yummy recipe... seemed really fresh! It was my first time to ever use raw beets or jicama, so it was definitely new territory for me! I actually had never eaten either before... well, I'd had pickled beets before, but it seems that pickled ( Read more... )

The whole "packet of ranch" deal is a little out of the ordinary for me, but I thought I'd try it-- mostly to see if it was something my parents would like. It was ( Read more... )

Hello all!

In keeping with my New Year's "goal" to incorporate more vegetarian dishes into our meal plan each week, I made this recipe that was posted by the amazing cookie_chef.

I have made these twice now, and they are incredibly delicious. I thought I should share them with the world. Keep in mind... the title has the words "blue cheese", and thus these are not the healthiest burgers ever. I adapted this recipe from allrecipes.com. I have never tried the original, and thus can't comment on it ( Read more... )

If you like the Tuscan Soup at Olive Garden, then you'll probably like this knock-off of it. I've made it a lot of times now, and every time, I just love it. I thought I'd post for everyone ( Read more... )

This is the recipe for the cheese fondue I made for Valentine's Day. It is a Melting Pot recipe, and I found it here ( Read more... )
