Pumpkin & Pomegranate

This is not a blog to boast about what a wonderful Valentine’s Day I had (though it was the best I have ever had), it is more a reminder to me of why I eat the way I do, and hey if you want to feel better yourself you might just test it out for [...]

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 started off my day with yet another bowl of gorgeously messy kasha, though today it wasn’t quite as messy as yesterday. I am really loving the PB in my bowl of appley goodness!

Sometimes I can be super duper lazy. I know full well that I can make curry from scratch. Hell, I’ve made Paska and full out Indian meals that took 4 hours to prepare. I have canned, I have made 12 loaves of bread in a weekend for Christmas presents, I have the ability to make [...]

I am a huge dork, let’s just get that out of the way. After making the glorious burgers a couple of weeks ago I decided that I needed to have them again, and SOON. But since Matt thought they were a bit “carroty” for him*(see note) I wanted to come up with a recipe that [...]

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 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. [...]

I have these amazing new friends with an incredible garden, and I have been fortunate enough to be able to purchase some of their fantastic organic produce at an extremely reasonable price. My fridge is jam packed with all different kinds of salad greens, lettuces, Asian greens, carrots, beets, etc. I am one happy little [...]

Yesterday I dropped off a pan of homemade cinnamon rolls for my friend who just had a little one. A gorgeous little one I might add. My friend was sweet enough to gift me some fresh herbs from her garden and as I drove home I mulled over s fresh sauce for some raw “pasta” [...]
