    How to Make this Creamy Cucumber Pasta Salad:

    This is such an easy recipe, y’all. Seriously. Yes to Summer recipes that don’t require hardly any effort!

    1. First, begin by cooking your pasta according to the box instructions! Make sure to salt your water and cook the pasta until al dente. Once it’s done, let it cool! If desired, rinse cold water over top to stop the cooking and speed up the cooling process.

    2. While the pasta is cooling off, slice up your cucumber! Slice it in half lengthwise and then slice very thin slices of cucumber.

    3. Do the same thing with the red onion! Thin slices go a long way here, folks! While it’s not required, soaking the onions in cold water for a few minutes takes just a little bit of bite out of them.  .

  • Recipe: The BEST EVER Vegetarian Lasagna

    Recipe: The BEST EVER Vegetarian Lasagna

    Vegetarian Lasagna

    For all those out there that say a Vegetarian Lasagna can’t be as good as one made from meat, you’re wrong. So wrong.
    Once you have a good lasagna recipe under your belt, you know you’re getting somewhere in the culinary world.

    I will agree that lasagna needs a certain type of ‘meaty’ flavour, after all it was originally a meat dish. But that’s easily possible thanks to spelt grains or freekeh (very easy to find), which take on an amazing, smoky, deep flavour when cooked in stock. The pleasingly-chewy texture feels like the consistency of meat too, and is more than a replacement – it’s even better.

    As much as I love Meaty lasagna, when I had a slice of this veggie version, I really didn’t miss the meat. And so I now have one thing to say – to the veggie haters, this is the best lasagna ever. Best. Lasagna. Ever.
    Don’t believe me? That’s fine, taste is subjective anyway. But make your decision after you’ve tried it.

    Just find ready made lasagna sheets and this great lunch or dinner dish bursting with carrot, zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, pepper and herbs is all yours!

    This Vegetarian Lasagna doesn’t require too much time, either. While water boils and noodles cook, you can get through making most of the vegetable sauce. Then, all you do is finish the sauce, assemble and bake for 30 minutes or so.

    Bonus — I actually found this Vegetarian Lasagna is better the next day – score for make-ahead meals.

    Here’s how I made mine yesterday, but keep in mind you can use any lasagna recipe you love! Just roll the cheesy filling inside the noodles as shown below, place them in a pan (small or large, depending on your needs), and top them with whatever sauce you want.
