Cornmeal Fried Cod Rice Bowl

July 12, 2023
Cornmeal Fried Cod Rice Bowl

At a certain point, we cycle through the same meatless meals every month or two. Specifically, our fish entrees. We have only so many salmon, white fish, shrimp, and fish tacos to go around. I love them all, but adding this cornmeal fried cod rice bowl, gives me more time between the last salmon dinner and the next. I went out to lunch at a place called Fieldtrip and ordered…

Blackened Salmon and Corn Salsa Rice Bowl

May 10, 2023
Blackened salmon

My new favorite salmon dish is here. It’s light, yet satisfying, savory, and flavorful. Who knew that a blackened salmon with corn salsa would slap? Blackening the salmon is the hardest part, mostly due to the smoke it causes (just us?), then everything else is really easy. Whenever my sister-in-law visits, we’re always trying to figure out what hearty vegetarian dish to make. We usually stick with salmon or some…

Thanksgiving Baked Ziti

November 20, 2022
Thanksgiving Baked Ziti

What makes this a Thanksgiving baked ziti? I make ziti for Thanksgiving. With a handful of vegetarians in my family, I need to find other mains for the plate that aren’t just vegetables. So we get Thanksgiving baked ziti. What I love most about mid-to-late November is bringing my family together and cooking for them. I enjoy putting together a family dinner. I show you that I love you when…

Spicy Honey Butter Glazed Carrots: Cooking Through Cravings

November 8, 2022
glazed carrots

I had to introduce more vegetables to my Thanksgiving spread. We make brussel sprouts way too often, and I needed a vegetable that wasn’t spinach or kale. Carrots were my first thought, but they’re also our least favorite vegetable. So a flip through Cravings, led me to these spicy honey-butter glazed carrots. I did not make nearly as many carrots as the recipe. Like I said, cooked carrots are our least…

Collard Greens

November 4, 2022
collard greens

A few years ago I decided to make collard greens for Thanksgiving. It had been a while since we had greens at our family dinner, and I had never made them before. For my first experience, it was quite the process. Now, I prep and cook those collard greens in no time. There was one year I looked at the Thanksgiving spread and thought, “There is nothing green here. Just…

Kale Salad: Cooking Through Cravings

Kale Salad

This kale salad is really as basic as it looks, but we loved it. To be honest, we tried this recipe to make the croutons, haha. They were really good and are the star of the salad. If you’re looking for a lite, yet seemingly hearty salad, this may be for you. Lilies and Loafers has affiliate relationships, so we may get a small share of revenue from your purchases.…

Salmon Quinoa Salad: Cooking Through Cravings

May 29, 2022
Salmon Quinoa Salad

The literal secret sauce in this salmon quinoa salad recipe is the carrot-ginger-miso dressing. It was a surprising and bright addition to the dish overall. This meal makes a perfect dinner in the summer. When we’re meal planning for the week, we like to balance with meat, fish and other vegetarian options. We started doing that a few years ago when we realized our entire week was filled with chicken…

Roasted Red Pepper Pasta: Cooking Through Full Plate

May 27, 2022
Roasted Red Pepper Pasta

This is one of Liam’s favorite meals to eat and help us make in the kitchen. He loves a bowl of roasted red pepper pasta and we love it, too! Why do we love it so much? It’s easy to make, delicious, and when you’re bored of tomato-based sauce, this spices things up. To be honest, I was hesitant to make this. I love red peppers, however, the idea of…

Fajita Shrimp Tacos

Fajita Shrimp Tacos

Every once in a while, Pinterest spits out a recipe I actually want to try. I can’t stand the number of easy gooey-just-like-crack-poke-cakes that are sent to me via the algorithm. Well, maybe I should stop clicking on them to understand what makes them a crake-poke-chicken whatever. Recently, we were in the mood for tacos and these fajita shrimp tacos spoke to me. I am always down for Taco Tuesday…

Roasted Salmon and Vegetables

November 15, 2021
roasted salmon and vegetables

Every once in a while, we just get sucked into one channel for a few weeks. A little over a year ago, we were watching Food Network all the time. The last time we did that was during my entire parental leave with Liam. One day, I was watching GZ make a really delicious-looking meal on the Food Network. GZ was making a one-pan roasted salmon and vegetable dinner. The…

Black Bean Soup

May 3, 2021
black bean soup

This last year has been filled with all the comfort food. Brian’s go-to comfort food is dessert. Exhibit A. I love a hearty meal; one that warms the soul. One of the meals that gets us through the falls and winters is this black bean soup. It’s the epitome of comfort food: hearty, warming, flavorful, and delicious. I originally wanted to make this soup because my mom loves black bean…

Ramen Noodles

September 9, 2020
Ramen Noodles

I grew up eating ramen noodles when I was younger. They were my go-to after school snack. I would make them in microwave and eat them while doing homework. I never added anything else to them, the broth and noodles were enough for me. The first time I had homemade ramen with all of the bells and whistles was with a group of college friends in the East Village. It…

Bulgur Salad

July 15, 2020
bulgur salad

Last summer, we had an indoor BBQ for the Fourth of July where we made this delicious bulgur salad. We had never made bulgur wheat, and to be honest, I was a little nervous. However, Martha Stewart for the win! The bulgur wheat seemed odd, the thought of cherries, lemon juice, and walnuts made me think twice about making it. But then why would we make this? TO TRY SOMETHING NEW!…
