Italian White Bean Dip {with Homemade Pita Bread}
I have a treasured folder where I keep paper copies of recipes. Some jotted down on scratch paper, others torn from magazines, and lots printed from the pages of fellow bloggers I admire. This morning I found this Italian White Bean Dip recipe that I had torn from a Weight Watchers hand out….months ago. Time to revisit.

Pappardelle with Lemony Thyme Roasted Mushrooms. When I saw this gorgeous Baked Lemon & Thyme Mushrooms recipe from Simple Provisions I knew in an instant that it would become a favorite. But instead of serving it as an appetizer with crostini, why not make it a Meatless Monday Meal.

Lemon Ginger Muffins
I was thumbing through a new cookbook and came upon this beautiful recipe for Lemon Ginger Muffins. It called for lemon and crystallized ginger which we had leftover from a Thanksgiving recipe. It was a sign. These muffins are delightful.

Roasted Lemon & Artichoke Chicken
Roasted Lemon & Artichoke Chicken. We were looking for an easy weeknight meal that could be made from ingredients already on hand. We like to keep boneless skinless chicken breasts in our freezer. We buy them in bulk, trim them of any fat, then lightly pound them to an even thickness before freezing them flat in bags of two. When we’re ready to use them we just thaw and create our meal.

Quinoa & Raw Veggie Salad
One of my ‘healthy eating’ work buddies brought in the most delicious salad to share. One bite in, just one….and I was recreating this salad in my mind to share with you. We decided to call it Quinoa & Raw Veggie Salad.
