Beet, Orange, and Fennel Salad
posted by: Marissa in Salad, Vegan, Vegetables on 08 27th, 2009 | | No Comments »

This was not meant to be a blog posting. It was meant to be a quick and simple  salad for me to grab and take to work. It turned out so well that I just had to share it with you all.
The lettuce comes from my friend’s garden and it is amazingly tender. It isn’t [...]

Rainbow Chard with Beets
posted by: Marissa in Side Dish, Vegan, Vegetables on 08 27th, 2009 | | No Comments »

I bought the most beautiful rainbow chard I have ever seen last week. My friend who is the caretaker of the gorgeous chickens who lay eggs for me also has this fabulous garden (which I may have mentioned before). He is an incredible gardener, and sells me the most amazing produce. I am SO [...]

Even Better Pancakes
posted by: Marissa in Breakfast on 08 26th, 2009 | | 1 Comment »

Don’t get me wrong, I love my almond meal pancakes. They are delicious, full of good fats and protein, and they really hit the spot. They are a little dense though, and sometimes I just want something a little more delicate. Enter Coconut flour. Coconut flour isn’t as oil heavy or dense as almond flour, [...]

Cauliflower Au Gratin

I had 3 lbs of potatoes from my CSA box. Gorgeous golden potatoes and pretty little purples. Alas…I eat not of the potato. It’s one of those starches that just does not do a body good. Don’t get me wrong, there are some nutrients in them, mostly in the skin, but overall they are just [...]

I was gifted a few pounds of peaches from a friend’s tree, and with the success of my blackberry cobbler I had to try my hand at a peach cobbler. Sadly Matt isn’t a fan of peaches…oh well, I guess this one is all mine ;-)

I was feeling a little overwhelmed this evening. I have a lot of produce and ingredients in my kitchen, and I was feeling a little pressed to cook them all before they went to the dark side. Luckily I had some really interesting things to combine and came up with this Latin inspired dish that [...]

Pizza!
posted by: Marissa in Appetizers, Entree, Sauces on 08 13th, 2009 | | No Comments »

I love pizza. It’s one of the foods I could eat every day and not get tired of, but finding a way to make it grain (and dairy) free has been a bit of a challenge for me.  I have tried a few methods, and so far I haven’t found my “perfect” pie just yet. [...]

Seattle has been going through a serious drought of late. Before 2 days ago we had gone 26 days without rain, oh wait…we did get .2 of an inch of rain on Saturday, my mistake! So 2 days ago I set out to take my usual stress relieving walk and lo and behold but the [...]

Not So Blogworthy
posted by: Marissa in Entree, Health, Vegetables on 08 11th, 2009 | | 4 Comments »

I eat a lot of things that aren’t so blogworthy. Meaning they really aren’t worthy of a “recipe” and don’t quite make a good photo. Be that as it may, I eat them on a daily basis and I thought that some of you might enjoy a posting on some of these items. I apologize [...]

Vegan Italian Spice “Parmesan”
posted by: Marissa in Condiments, Vegan on 08 6th, 2009 | | 20 Comments »

I bought a bottle of Parma! a while back. I had just gone off dairy, and for the most part didn’t eat dairy much anyway…except for my beloved Parmesan cheese. Needless to say I wasn’t that impressed with Parma! I got a little sad after eating a bite as I knew it couldn’t take the [...]
