Crispy Chickpea Pantry Pasta Recipe

Kristen — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 15:51:08 +0000

This Crispy Chickpea Pantry Pasta recipe is a simple, vegetarian dish full of wonderful flavors and textures.

This week I’ve become hooked on the Bon Appetit TV channel. Leah and I are cat-sitting for some friends and this is the only channel we can figure out how to watch on their complex TV system, and I’m not mad about it.

Every time we leave the cat to return home, we have a list of new recipe ideas we want to try and dishes we want to eat! This Crispy Chickpea Pantry Pasta recipe adaptation is one such inspiration. I’d never thought about putting chickpeas with pasta, until now. The result was an amazing and easy pantry pasta dish!

Healthy Veggie Avocado Lettuce Cups Recipe

Kristen — Fri, 29 Jul 2016 06:13:45 +0000

Here’s a heathy, veggie and California Avocado lettuce cup recipe, perfect for summer!

My friends at California Avocados challenged me this month to create a vegetarian recipe, showcasing their avocados. Here’s the deal…since I am currently all about the protein and the veggies, I knew that if I just shared a vegetarian recipe, my family would most likely not eat it. Considering I’m all about making what my family will eat and not being a part of food waste, I decided to create a recipe that can easily be adapted as vegetarian or can be pumped up with some protein. My husband thinks if it doesn’t have meat of some kind, it’s not a meal 🙂 (Can any of you relate?)….

For My Kids {Simple Roasted Vegetables Recipe)

Kristen — Fri, 26 Feb 2016 02:16:08 +0000

A simple Roasted Vegetables Recipe, a family favorite almost too simple to share.

Sometimes I forget why I started this blog. I get caught up in the business of it… the money making, social media-ing, sponsor touting, craft honing, etc. I forget that the reason I started Dine & Dish almost 10 years ago was to have a space on the web to leave legacy behind for my kids. I wanted to create a place where they could always turn to to get a taste of home, no matter how far away they were. My focus was not to see what special words I could use to get to the top of a google search, or picture I could create to get the most likes and shares on Facebook, but instead my focus was to an audience of 4…the kids I’m raising today.

So, when I share recipes like this roasted vegetables recipe, I feel a little silly. I mean, I understand roasted vegetables are not a difficult thing to make and many people know how to make them. However, my 4 kids don’t yet, and someday in the future they may want to know how their mom made the roasted vegetables we have so often for dinner, so I’m going to share it here….

Meatless Made Easy: White Bean Shrimp Chili Recipe

Kristen — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 18:32:56 +0000

With the Lenten season upon us, it’s the perfect time to swap out meat for shrimp in your chili! Give this White Bean Shrimp Chili Recipe featuring Bush’s White Chili Beans a try!

For those of you who participate in the Lenten season, you know that the sacrifice of meat on Ash Wednesday and every Friday during Lent is upon us.

It always cracks me up when people refer to giving up meat as a sacrifice. Maybe back in the days of Jesus, fish and seafood tasted horrible, so it was a sacrifice. But now? Now with all the different varieties of seafood available, the plethora of seafood recipes to follow, the spices to enhance, etc. meatless is not a big deal. Plus, even when you can’t have meat, you can always have beans! Now ask me to give up beans and that would be considered an absolute sacrifice. …

Chickpea Salad Sandwiches Recipe

You won’t miss the chicken when you replace it with Bush’s Garbanzo Beans in this flavorful Chickpea Salad Sandwich recipe!

Oh friends…I am so excited to share this recipe with you today!

As you know, school is back in session for us, which means I’m no longer responsible for feeding my pesky kids at lunch time. Lunch time gets to be all about me, myself and I. It means no more “kid friendly” lunch food…instead I get to eat what I want and what I crave. I’ve recently discovered this is a big silver lining to my kids being at school all day. A little me time and a little grown up lunch time is definitely not a bad thing! …

Thank you all so much for sharing your favorite mushroom recipes over the past 2 weeks. With your help, we were able to bring awareness to The Mushroom Industry’s initiative to “Go Pink” for breast cancer awareness! As you know from my earlier post featuring my Creamy Mushroom and 3 Bean Soup, this is a cause close to my heart. We’ve been swapping out meat for mushrooms in some of our favorite recipes to give our meals a healthy boost with the wonderful benefits of mushrooms.

Below, you’ll find links to some wonderful recipes featuring fresh mushrooms. But first, congratulations to Donna from Cooistry for winning the random drawing for a gift card and mushroom apron from The Mushroom Channel. Donna shared a wonderful recipe for Mushroom Stroganoff, which is a perfect example of swapping out meat for mushrooms in a classic recipe! Now, on to the wonderful collection of Mushroom Recipes!

Grilling Season is Now! {Recipe: Marinated Grilled Sweet Onions}

Kristen — Mon, 23 Sep 2013 03:03:16 +0000

Marinated Grilled Sweet Onions are one of the easiest grilled side dishes you’ll find. Thanks to my friends at McCormick spices and seasonings for sponsoring this post.

I always get a chuckle when people say that Labor Day is the official end of grilling season. Anyone who believes that doesn’t know my husband. I’ve known him to be out manning our ghetto grill in 3 feet of snow. A little cooler weather isn’t going to stop us from enjoying some of our favorite grilled foods! …

Football! {Recipe: The Best Black Bean Veggie Burgers}

Kristen — Sat, 31 Aug 2013 18:24:50 +0000

Are you ready for some football!?

And no, I don’t mean the NFL. In this house, we’re all about College Football! College football season starts this weekend and I’ve got a few excited guys here, ready to hunker down and spend the day cheering on their favorite college football teams. (Go K-State!)

While my boys were immersed in football, I thought I’d play a dirty but delicious trick on them. I told them we’d be eating burgers at half time and to be ready because they were so good! Instead of bringing down the burgers they were used to, I switched things up and made Black Bean Veggie Burgers using Bush’s Black Beans. …
