I have been having a lot of fun experimenting with recipes this year.

It originally began as me wanting to try one new thing a month,

but once I started looking and had my eyes open,

I just kept seeing more things I wanted to try. I'm recapping my

monthly experiments fully over at Substack, but I thought it would be fun to share some recent

vegetarian-themed picks, which are great if you just want something a little bit lighter,

want to save some money, not purchasing meat, just are vegetarian in general, and also because sometimes vegetarian

recipes are just based mostly on pantry staples, which is so incredible. My first

recommendation is a tomato lentil stew with crispy potato dish. It is delicious, very easy to put

together, largely made from pantry ingredients, and just very, very comforting.

This dish represented my first time making a crispy potato top layer. You kind of spread it out

like a flour starting from the interior, and now I basically want to add a crispy potato

top layer to everything I make.

The one non-pantry item is fresh dill, which I definitely recommend.

I first made this recipe actually in the dead of winter, and that dill was like a little

reminder of spring and hope.

My second recommendation is a crispy hulumi with tomatoes and white beans.
