Pumpkin & Pomegranate

I know I am nearly a month late for St. Paddy’s Day, but I’ve been a bit busy. Speaking of busy, HELLO! It has been months since my last blog post. Lots of stuff going on in my life, including a lack of interest in blogging! Not because I haven’t wanted to write, but because [...]

I bet you all thought I had run away and joined the circus :-) I went through quite a rough period, 2 breakups in a span of 4 months. A huge amount of growing, soul searching, etc. and now I am actually feeling like blogging again. There has been a lot going on with me. [...]

I get a CSA box, and I also find myself wandering aimlessly through the farmers markets pretty frequently. Rarely do I have a recipe when I go, and I don’t ever know what my CSA box will have it it until the day it arrives. So usually I just pull random things out of the [...]

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 [...]

I just found out that Hail Merry, the company that makes the yummy treat I tried in Texas over my recent visit has been nominated for the Vegetarian Times Foodie Awards 2010!! I am really really happy for them! I started following Hail Merry on Twitter because it is such a good company. I am [...]

I was in dire need of more breakfast breads. Well dire is a bit extreme, but yes I wanted some. I just got some strawberries from a groupon for SPUD so they seemed like the perfect thing to stick in a muffin. By the way, have I mentioned how much I love groupon? That site [...]

It is amazing what you can do with some random items in your fridge. Yes ladies and gentlemen (though I think I have very few gentlemen readers….odd that.) this is another post about what I can stick into a raw collard green leaf. This time it is leftover fava bean dip from last Friday night, [...]

I admit that I am a tad speechless right now.  I don’t know exactly how to describe this, except that it is truly scrumptious. A gourmet treat to behold. I had 2 slices for breakfast, but I could easily see this as a base for a little canape as well. The loaf is small, 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. [...]

Ice cream cravings have hit me with a vengeance. Since I shy away from agave and sugar, I have been left to my own devices. This isn’t new to me, as while I was on my big fat loss way I would often whip up a batch of “ice cream” made from frozen banana, almond [...]
