I made my own coconut butter last night! Long gone at my days of wishing I could just pay for a $9 jar of white glory! Here’s the thing though. 2 cups of flaked coconut turns into about 3/4 cup coconut butter so honestly $9 isn’t all that bad of a price. I didn’t take [...]

I mentioned in a previous post that I am supposed to eat seaweed everyday. I love seaweed salad, but they usually have sugar in them. So do many of the roasted nori snacks, and I don’t find just plain seaweed to be all that palatable. I was at Whole Foods last Saturday and came across [...]

I have been experimenting again. I loved my last batch of nut butter so much I had to add even more goodness. For those of you who aren’t into twitter (or who don’t follow me) I made a batch of Brazil nut- cashed butter last week and it was divine. I used 8oz of each [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I need to start off this post with a little edit of the previous posting. I was over hasty when I said I quit my part time gig. I spoke with the owner of Healeo this weekend (he hadn’t gotten my message about not being able to make it work) and we discussed it. We [...]

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 [...]

Just wanted to let you all know that there are many vegan bake sales going on around the country to benefit Haiti. I will be baking vegan morning glory muffins for the Seattle bake sale this Sunday at Neptune Coffee on Greenwood. My muffins won’t be gluten free or grain free (as I have found [...]

Zahrah is Arabic for “Blooming Flower”, and that is a beautifully descriptive name to give such a wonderful dish. For New Years Eve dinner Matt took me to this great little restaurant in Bellevue. For those not familiar with the area, Bellevue is East of Seattle, on the other side of Lake Washington. We had [...]

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, [...]
