Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Montana from Pretty Lil Mudder, Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, Emily from Whatever Floats Your Oats, Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl, and Cassandra from Powered By Bling, to create awesome healthy recipes each week! Today’s theme = Vegetarian! Make sure you hop around to check out all the amazing recipes in this link up and feel free to add your recipes as well!

Installment #2 on my cooking adventures with Hira! This whole getting together on the weekend to make a ton of food is working out pretty darn well for the both of us! Our combined pantries are slowly starting to dwindle, so I think we’re on to something here. :O Recipe adapted from here!
