Pumpkin & Pomegranate

I have been mulling over pizza crust ideas for some time now. I love pizza. I love it for dinner, but I think I might like even more for breakfast. I have tried various other pizza crusts and none of them really hit the spot. I did the almond flour crust, which was good but [...]

Sometimes mishaps in the kitchen turn out to be delicious creations. Last weekend I had grand plans for Cajun quinoa burgers. Unfortunately for me at the time they turned out more like pancakes than burgers, but they still tasted fantastic. We just doubled them up and carefully transported them to our respective buns and plates. [...]

Yesterday was Cinco De Mayo so of course I had to make Mexican food. I re-did the Mexican quinoa (with a few minor adjustments, which I also made to the previous blog), and I also tried my hand at some Marissified enchiladas. I admit that this first attempt was not perfect. in fact next time [...]

I have some odd little quirks. For some reason I LOVE when I get down to the bare bones in my pantry/fridge/freezer, and I equally love stocking it back up! Lately I have just not been in the mood to drag my butt to the store, and so it has been a bit of the [...]

Yes it’s a little late for Fat Tuesday, but those who do not fast for Lent don’t really care. Then again it is MEATLESS jambalaya, so I be the Pope would approve anyway! Meatless doesn’t mean flavorless. Grain free doesn’t mean you are giving something up. This stuff was mighty tasty. The only thing I [...]

I haven’t always been a fan of Indian food. When I was younger I tried some from a buffet and did not appreciate the spice combination so I shunned it for years. I am an adult now, and I recognize that I may have been overhasty. There is such variety in Indian cuisine I couldn’t [...]

My father has a dear friend who is from Guatemala. When I was a child we went to his house for a dinner party where we were served a fairly simple looking black bean soup. The soup was puréed, and had a drizzle of cream on the top. I couldn’t have been older than 10, [...]

Yesterday I posted all about my brunch at Plum Vegan Bistro and I ended by mentioning the recipe I tried out Sunday night. I felt that it was just way too much for one blog post, so it continues. My Sunday was a day of vegan goodness! I admit the whole day wasn’t vegan as [...]

I had to try out my new harissa spice mix from World Spice Merchants. I liked it so much in this stew that I am going back this weekend to buy some more blends. I wish the internet was fitted with smell-o-vision, I would stream live from my kitchen and you all would have drool [...]

Whoever invented the oven, I could kiss you! I have been really into my roasted veggies this week and I just had to share yet another photo straight from the oven! That is 1 delicata squash, 1 bunch broccolini, and 1 bulb of garlic, roasted to perfection in some extra virgin olive oil. Perfect Fall [...]
