This was my second year having anything worth calling a garden, but still being the novice and poor planner that I am, we got off to a late start. Add in an unexpected “harvesting” of my first seedlings by some curious paws, I almost threw in the towel. Instead I casually tossed in a few beet seeds […]
I’ll never stopped being amazed that you can throw some fruit and nuts into a food processor and end up with dessert! I used strawberry-banana nicecream as the filling part, sweetened with a touch of maple syrup. For the crust I threw a big handle of nuts, it was a mixture of walnuts, almonds, and […]
My son is a seaweed addict. I don’t get it, I don’t care much for the fishy taste, I never was a consumer of sea animals but we have to keep an eye on our seaweed stash to make sure he isn’t overdoing it. We often buy the snack packs from the grocery store for […]
My go-to pancake recipe is the Puffy Pillow Pancakes from PPK. But every now and then I like to mix up the flavors. With left over canned pumpkin, I mixed it in the batter along with traditional pumpkin pie spice. You may need to add a touch more flour if the pumpkin made the batter […]
Let me preface first with that I’m the furthest thing from a mushroom person. I pick them out of everything, I just can’t handle the texture. My friend Mary of Nom Yourself insisted she could make a portobello steak that even I could make. We never got around to that challenge so I took it […]
When it comes to peppermint patties, I decided there are two kinds of people in this world – those who prefer an ooey, gooey center and then there’s the rest of us. I’ve just never been crazy about an oozy center in chocolates, like those weird chocolate covered cherries surrounded by that sugary goo, or […]
The flavors of India have to be some of my favorites – so warm and fragrant. I love a blend of these Ayurvedic seasonings on everything from roasted cauliflower to Indian street tacos. I really enjoyed it just as much on this encrusted tofu which we served with quinoa and a vegetable curry. Although basmati […]
I love falafel but it can often feel a bit heavy and not leaving me feeling my best. This oil-free, baked version is one of our favorite recipes from the Oh She Glows cookbook. I’ve probably made more recipes from this book than any other, definitely worth the very small investment.
Some time ago I was asking around for a new source for groceries. I was having a hard time making it to the Farmer’s Market, the upfront cost to the CSA was prohibitive, and I was driving over 30 minutes each way to the only decent grocery stores around making it quite an event. The […]
I woke up one morning after the holidays craving all the nutrients. I put together a balanced feast of green juice with celery, ginger, green apple, spinach, and mint, a simple tofu scramble, and half a slice of avocado whole grain toast with chili flakes and sprinkling of sesame.
