Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
The other day, my wife requested that I make Tomato Basil soup some time. Rather than just getting a can of it at the store, I decided it was high time to try my hand at a new recipe. So I sought out some recipes and found one that seemed like a good one (though let’s be honest, most every recipe was about the same). Well, I gave the recipe a go, and admittedly, it was a complete bust. I followed the recipe exactly, and the end result was bland and overly brothy. So I had to improvise and add in some last-minute magic. In the end, my off-the-cuff efforts were worth it, as the final product was one of the best Tomato Basil soups that my wife and I have ever had. If you’re in the mood for a good, flavorful, and healthy soup to warm you up, look no further. You’ll be glad you tried this recipe!
Healthy Homemade Lasagna (à la Loaf Pans)
Posted by Anthony on March 2, 2017 in Entree
Serves: 8 (2 per loaf pan)
Time: 45 min (active), 45-60 min (inactive)
Difficulty: Easy
A number of our friends have recently been in need of some freezer meals, and one of my go-to staples to provide is lasagnas prepped and delivered in aluminum loaf pans — a perfect size for 2 servings, so you’re not left with a boatload of leftovers in an enormous baking dish. Everyone who has received and partaken of these lasagnas has raved about them and how delicious they are, and most have asked for the recipe. Admittedly, this recipe never existed on paper until I was asked for about the 8th time for a copy of the recipe, as I just made it off-the-cuff. But here is the official recipe, finally documented outside of my head, for your making and partaking pleasure. Hope you enjoy!

Mexican Rice Enchiladas
Posted by Anthony on March 1, 2017 in Entree
Serves: 4
Time: 20 min (active), 45 min (inactive)
Difficulty: Easy
My wife found a recipe for no-roll chicken enchiladas a while back after having it at a friend’s house, and passed it along as a potential dish for us to try. With a little modification, I came up with the following recipe, which is a ridiculously flavorful and filling Mexican meal worthy of making again. And while it takes a bit of time to finish (mostly inactive bake time), the result is well worth it.

Posted by Anthony on January 12, 2017 in Entree
Serves: 4
Time: 35 min (Cauliflower); 60 min (Red Pepper Romesco Sauce)
Difficulty: Medium
My wife and I hosted her parents this past weekend, and I was jonesing to make a new recipe while they were here. I had recently received the book The Vegetable Butcher from some friends for Christmas, and was eager to dive in and make some of the recipes. So after a bit of perusing through the book, I landed on this recipe for Cauliflower Steaks, and decided it was a winner for first recipe to make from the book. I had previously seen recipes for cauliflower steaks, but had never actually made them yet, so this was a perfect chance to do so. The end result was nothing short of phenemonal — a recipe I’m sure to make again.
