Pumpkin & Pomegranate

I was really hoping to have a fabulous pumpkin cake recipe for you today.  I went to work on it yesterday after work as I have been out of my mid morning snacks for about a week. What I like to do is to bake a loaf of bread or muffins, or something of that [...]

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I definitely had a productive one., at least partly!
Friday evening I went to my friend and neighbors’ house to buy some of their amazing produce. They have a yard to envy. They live outside the city a bit and their entire yard was planted with edible landscaping. They [...]

I promised a soup extravaganza, but really one of them was much more stew than soup. Not that I cared, it was so good I think it might just be my “stew of the season”.  My neighbor (his driveway is the drop off spot for the CSA boxes) came by with “extras”, as he does [...]

Today’s date makes me giggle a little. It’s very pleasing to my OCD brain that wants to add things up, divide them, square root them…etc. Oh and no I am not good at math. Such is life.
Right now I am at work, procrastinating spreading out my work so that I will have some work to [...]

The first stirrings of Autumn are here. We got a lot of rain this weekend. Much needed rain. To most of the country Seattle seems like a damp and dreary place. What most people don’t know is that our annual rainfall isn’t all that much. We have gone through a drought this Summer and last [...]

I have decided to make a little change. Originally when I started out I thought I just wanted to have healthy recipes here. I didn’t want confuse things with any information on fitness, or side health issues, and I assumed that people wouldn’t really care much about my daily eating or general weirdness. I have [...]

Taking a cue from Curly Top’s PBU and HEAB’s ABU I devised a way to get my beloved Cashew butter into a creamier state. Cashew butter is prohibitively expensive, and when I make it at home in my food processor it never gets to spreadable consistency. Mainly because thus far I have refused to add [...]

Last night was Wednesday, so as usual Matt came over for dinner. He has been wanting spanakopita, but with so much fresh produce from my CSA box he will just have to wait until another night. I am still working on ideas on how to mimic the Greek spinach pie without grain so I can [...]

I have had so much squash this summer you wouldn’t believe it. No complaints! I love the Zucchs and the squashes, but I have been running out of ideas for (quick) ways to prepare them. Most of my squash have had the same fate…either a slow roast and topped with vegan Parmesan, or a breakfast [...]
