Cheesy Enchilada Orzo
Cheesy Enchilada Orzo is a simple southwest style meal that is filling, packed with a great blend of flavors and textures, and will satisfy any Tex-Mex cravings! It’s a vegetarian dish that is loaded with tender veggies, chewy orzo, and a spicy sauce. Think deconstructed enchilada…there is no burrito or shell. All ingredients are mixed in a skillet and combined with a traditional enchilada sauce. It’s also a one-pot meal that is easy to make (less time in the kitchen is always a win for me). The recipe can be found here. Start by doing all your food prep; chop the bell peppers, drain the black beans, and green chilies, cube the cream cheese, etc. Set all ingredients aside. Add the bell peppers and corn to a large skillet. Heat over medium-high heat and cool until softened. I used frozen corn and did not thaw it first. If you use canned corn, make sure to drain the … Continue reading

Greek Orzo Stuffed Peppers
Stuffed Peppers are a favorite at my house. There are so many possibilities for stuffed peppers so you can really cater the filling to meet any dietary need. Our recent craving has been for Greek Orzo Stuffed Peppers. They are quick to make, fairly simple to assemble, vegetarian / vegan, healthy, and tasty 🙂 You can make this dish more colorful by using a combination of green, orange, red, or yellow bell peppers. I’m partial to red bell peppers for no particular reason so that is what I choose to use. I typically serve these as a main dish, but they could easily be a side dish if served with other items. Look for medium to large bell peppers because they are easier to stuff and hold more ingredients. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees. Cut each bell pepper in half, length … Continue reading

Lemon Orzo with Roasted Vegetables
Lemon Orzo with Roasted Vegetables is not your typical pasta salad. It’s packed with texture and flavor yet is very light and refreshing. It works well as a side dish or as a standalone meal. I think it’s best served warm but room temp or chilled is also fine, it’s all about your preference. The vegetables are delicious when roasted because they are slightly caramelized. I like to use bell pepper, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and red onion but you can substitute any veggies you like – eggplant, zucchini, squash, mushrooms, etc. You can really make this your own by using the veggies you crave. You can also top this salad with pine nuts for a little crunch or some crumbled feta cheese. If you choose to skip the cheese, this is a great vegan based dish. Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees and lining a baking sheet (or … Continue reading
