YUM!  My husband and I ate this last night for our "date night".  Definitely something we will make  again.

(taken from allrecipes)

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped
• 2 ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped

Since I'm the only vegetarian during the holidays, I tried out a new recipe that I hope would be pleasing for all - and I desperately needed something that could fill me up since almost every side dish will likely be cooked with meat.

This was SO good.  I loved it and I can't wait to eat it again on Thursday.

miss_andromache requested semi-vegetarian meals to add to a dinner rotation, so I figured I would finally post this. I like to make it on Sunday night to cut up and reheat all week for lunch.

I can not stress enough that this recipe is a work-in-progress/add-whatever-you-have-around type of deal.

We had a chili cook-off at work today. This was not one of the winners but I enjoyed it so much I asked the maker for his recipe. I'm not sure I would go to the trouble to find the bison meat...

It's 15 degrees here, and I got to thinking- what do I always feel like eating when I'm freezing my fingers off? Chili. I bring two recipes, one vegetarian, one not, and no pictures since I haven't made either of them lately. My apologies. Enjoy anyway. :)

Had company coming over tonight and really didn't feel like cooking anything extravagant. This turned out quite well, especially for the ease of prep, and accompanied with ciabatta, herbed goat cheese, salad, potato leek soup that I'd made the other day, and parmesan risotto presented a decent meal for company despite the lack of effort ( Read more... )
