A few years ago (during the vegetarian period), I unlocked about ten go-tos that I would put up against all comers.
Spaghetti squash is an entrée if you know how to cook. Using it as a pasta sub is an ingredient multiplier, but homemade pesto (or if you're in the right mood, roasted garlic and butter) is a killa.
Mashed rutabaga (or diced rutabaga hash with eggs), asparagus crepes, braised cauliflower and baked sweet potatoes with mango salsa.
The lady of the house is fond of the quinoa and turkey sausage, peppers and onions. She has excellent taste (but we knew that).
If you've never done it, a vegetarian month is a fun challenge and will make you a more balanced consumer.
boom, it's true.
Made this one for the first time last night, it was great too:

I know how to spell definitely.
DAMMIT BUCKETS, GIVE ME THE RECIPE, I WANT TO MAKE SOME CHILAQUILES AND I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW.
Yeah buckets, you best hurry up with that or the negrep train will be pulling out of the station. You can't dangle a chilaquilles carrot out there and not deliver. Chilaquilles are serious bidness.
Made the baked ziti recipe off Serious Eats. Bangin. Used their one-hour sauce recipe too.
Good lookin' out, posters!
Sweet potato and butternut squash hash
Ingredients:
1 cup diced sweet potato
1 cup diced butternut squash (I'm a trained-assassin with a chef's knife, but if that's not your thing, you can hurt yourself cutting a squash. Most decent grocery stories will have it pre-diced).
2 carrots, diced.
1 med onion, sliced.
3 cloves, minced garlic
2 eggs
three handfuls of baby spinach (or similar substitute green on hand).
Favorite cheese to finish (Whole Foods crumbled goat cheese is a personal favorite)
Herbs of choice to flavor as you sauté
In a cast-iron skillet (because you have pride in your humanity), sauté squash first in a generous coating of EVOO. After each 2-3 minute increment, add in the sweet potato, carrot, onions and garlic in echelon, moving the veggies regularly to insure even cooking on all sides, seasoning with S,P and herbs of choices. After about ten minutes and when the veggies have all softened, drop two eggs, salsa (if desired) and leafy greens. Once the eggs have cooked, finish with the cheese and plate. Great meal if you're looking to take it easy on birthed protein, but don't forget to holla atcha boy the next day on the OGB.
Anyone have a good recipe for a pasta dish that includes mushrooms? Not really looking for a stroganoff though...
I really enjoyed having 6 months of Emeals. The recipes are simple but taste good and it makes grocery shopping an absolute breeze.

So good. My wife hates mushrooms. She didn't like it, but I'm proof her tastes are questionable.
Anybody know what you call a field full of masturbating cows ?
Beef Strokinoff .
Get it ? Stroganoff = Strokinoff !
