Spinach Ricotta Vegetarian “Meatloaf”

Spinach Ricotta Vegetarian “Meatloaf”


I recently came to the conclusion that it’s almost impossible for me to take a decent picture of a meatloaf.
I’ve tried and miserably failed.
Which is one of the reasons why I only have one other recipe for meatloaf1 on this blog (not pretty, but so very delicious.)
However I feel that even though a meatloaf is not a photogenic dish, one should never judge a dish by the way it appears — no matter how bad the picture is.
In this case, for instance, what this Spinach Ricotta Vegetarian “Meatloaf” lacks in looks, it makes up for in flavor. Trust me.

Mom’s Baked Turkey Meatballs

Mom’s Baked Turkey Meatballs


Growing up, my mom made the best meatballs in my opinion. I don’t know/remember if she took the recipe somewhere, tweaked an existing recipe or invented it from scratch (most likely is the former), and I’m not going to pretend these are super authentic Italian meatballs. But I grew up eating them and for that reason alone they hold a special place in my heart.
Mom would make these using either ground beef or ground turkey. I always preferred the turkey version — because I could actually taste the other ingredients in the meatball, not just the meat. But the beef version was also pretty spectacular.

Salt, Pepper & Paprika Potato Wedges

Salt, Pepper & Paprika Potato Wedges


I’ve been making these spicy potato wedges for so long, I can’t even remember (most likely I was still in college.)
To be honest, I can’t believe that after all these years of blogging I haven’t told you about them yet, you should revolt or something. Just kidding, please don’t.
I don’t even remember if I found the recipe somewhere or someone told me about it or if I just experimented on my own.
It’s as simple as it gets: Potatoes cut into wedges, oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, pop in the oven, and voilà: awesomely crispy, packed-with-flavor, potato wedges.

(Vegan) Easy 3-Minute Brownie In A Mug


I’m gonna start this post by admitting that I already have a recipe for a chocolate brownie in a mug on this blog .
Which begs the question: do we need another one?
The answer is: yes, we do.
Let me tell you why.
First off, there’s no such thing as too many brownies— we can all agree on this one, am I right?
Secondly, this recipe is drastically different from the other one: it’s eggless, dairy-free, nut-free, vegan and not really paleo. But it’s still so very delicious, simple, quick, and easy to make.
So why not?
