Friday night grill
I’ve been in the home kitchen for maybe five minutes at a time the past few days, thanks to the majority of my time now being devoted to the work kitchen. After a week of quick salads and wraps, all I wanted tonight was some hot hot veggies and a few more complex flavors. Cue [...]

I love routine. In every part of my life. I love routine so much that I used to eat the same breakfast, same lunch, and same dinner almost every day. Luckily my best friend broke that bad habit and showed me the value of variety, and now those days are a part of the distant [...]

chard
I got an effing huge bag of swiss chard at the Trinity Church farmers’ market on Saturday. I made a salad with it yesterday (nothing special, just chard and strawberries with an agave-mustard vinaigrette), but I barely made a dent in the bag, so chard it was for dinner tonight. (No complaints here…)
I could have [...]

More Cake!
Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World is the best book ever. Okay, maybe not best book. Best dessert cookbook. Yes.
Sister threw a potluck last night, with a cover charge to raise money for her trip to the Amani Baby Cottage in Uganda. I intended to make the S’mores Cupcakes, but I had so much batter [...]

Pumpkin Ravioli
This is the second time I’ve ordered this meal at Mauh-Nah-Tee-See. Actually, it’s the appetizer size, and actually, it’s not the whole meal because it’s supposed to be covered in an alfredo sauce and lots of cheese. When I ordered it without all that crap the first time, the manager actually came over and told [...]

Cereal Oatmeal
I couldn’t decide between cereal and oatmeal, so I thought combining them would bring me to something in the vein of an oatmeal-granola combo. To my oatmeal (made with vanilla soymilk) I added almond butter, almonds, and my favorite vanilla almond cereal. The flavors were great; the texture was odd. The cereal on top was [...]

East Coast Eating
Vacation eating: so many opportunities…
But first, one last pre-trip meal. Simply to satisfy my curiosity, I decided to try a suspicious-looking product called soyrizo. Probably a mistake, but I’m glad I know now. I should have just stopped myself when the tagline on the package read, “Crumbles just like chorizo!” I don’t know about you, [...]

out of the office
So I’m currently on an extremely last minute east coast trip — New York right now and on to Vermont on Saturday. I won’t be posting until I return next Monday, but I can promise lots of good photos of both awesome New York restaurant food and homemade goodness. Until then…

it was a really big eggplant
I’m having trouble finishing this entire eggplant. No one else in my family really likes them, so it’s up to me to slowly work away at this beast… So, a little boring, but more eggplant…
Topped with hummus and my favorite spice. Along with corn, a potato, and salad from the garden with some homemade dijon [...]
