White Bean & Basil Hummus
This White Bean and Basil Hummus is a yummy summer twist on the classic chickpea dip. The white beans give the dip extra creaminess and the basil, garlic, and lemon add tons of flavor! Ok, it’s “dad joke” time. What’s the difference between black-eyed peas and chickpeas? One will sing us a song and one…
Chicken Broccoli Calzones
Nick goes through phases on what he likes to eat for lunch. Currently, he is sick of sandwiches and only wants dinner leftovers. Which is hard considering a 4-serving meal barely feeds two of us and leftovers are hard to come by! One night I was going to make pizza for us, when I realized…

Black Bean and Quinoa Enchiladas

I pinned this recipe a while ago, but hadn’t made it since it’s vegetarian (minus the chicken stock, which could easily be replaced by veggie), and my meatatarian would probably be skeptical. But then one night I didn’t feel like going to the supermarket, didn’t…
