Worth Noting

9 Vegetarian Recipes That Aren’t Boring

Filed Under > Everyday

This summer, I’m pledging to think outside of the box when menu planning. And though I’m not a vegetarian, I’ll be setting aside at least one day a week to omit the meat, like #MeatlessMonday. But whether you’re vegetarian or not, you may agree that it’s easy to fall into a rut with the same old recipes of sautéed or steamed vegetables. With farmers markets in full swing across the nation, there’s no excuse for that, and there’s no better time than now to eat fresh and seasonally.  So today I rounded up nine vegetarian recipes that are healthy, seasonal and definitely not boring, all of which are inspiring me to get a little creative in the kitchen this summer. For more recipes, visit our Pinterest boards; we’re constantly adding delicious dishes to try. Cheers, Kat

10 Food Instagram Accounts to Follow

Filed Under > Everyday

It’s no secret how much we love Instagram in the WOM offices, so we thought it would only be fitting to share with you today our ten favorite food Instagram accounts to follow.  Give us a chocolate drip, an aerial breakfast shot or a sizzling skillet any day, and we’ll eat it right up.  The ten accounts in the slideshow above have our mouths watering just about 24/7, and they always collect a quick double-tap when we scroll through our feeds.  We know there are many, many more drool-worthy accounts out there, so tell me, who are we missing?
