Rich Miso Mushroom Wine Gravy with Rosemary
This is a tasty vegetarian sauce to use on any vegetables, especially potatoes. Great as a classic gravy for stuffing, and meat-eaters will lap it up! Don't omit the miso, as it adds a rich, complex layer of flavor.

Mushroom Pesto Pitas
Once again, I found myself craving pizza, but I wanted something a little different. Since I love to experiment with recipes and I was playing around with basil this week, this is what I came up with. These are less like pizzas and might better be described as pita appetizers. They’re crunchy and delicious. You can use store bought pesto for this recipe, but where’s the fun in that?

Fakey Sloppy Joes
Eating Sloppy Joes is one of my favorite childhood food memories. I wanted, or rather needed, to come up with a vegetarian version of these messy sandwiches that would satisfy my memories and be good enough to serve to meat eaters. This recipe is a healthy alternative to the real thing and even my dad likes them.

Grilled Tilapia w/ Spicy White Sauce
I was born and raised in San Diego and fish tacos are a local favorite. I am a self-proclaimed "chef" and HAVE to try to make EVERYTHING at home, from scratch. I like to see if I can make a dish better than the "real" chefs out there. Now, I am not a fan of fried fish, so I decided to do a grilled fish taco and top it with that special white sauce that I added my own spicy twist to. You can choose your heat. I love spicy foods, so I add more than called for. The first time I made them, I made so much of it that I had to invite my neighbor over to help me and my boyfriend eat them up!! The marinade is very subtle, but adds a sweet and savory flavor to the grilled fish. That combined with the spiciness of the white sauce, crunchiness of the cabbage, and of course CHEESE makes this the perfect outdoor summer meal. Add some beer and margaritas to the mix and you have yourself a fun no-fuss dinner party!! They are always such a big hit, I automatically double my recipe!!
