Pumpkin & Pomegranate

Right before Halloween I headed over to a nearby produce market to check out their pumpkin selection. Obviously I love pumpkins, and to my delight they had my FAVORITE variety! The Fairytale pumpkin. This baby is a French variety and was the inspiration for Cinderella’s coach. I love it so much I keep pondering a pumpkin tattoo. [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

I had a wonderful photo of my Brussels sprouts on Thanksgiving, but unfortunately I accidentally deleted it while I was transferring photos from my camera to my computer. So Sad! So I had to make do with a photo of my Thanksgiving plate (sorry that it is a repeat!). I never liked Brussels sprouts until [...]

I know it’s too late for your Thanksgiving tables, but it really is quite delicious for breakfast or dessert anytime you can get your hands on pumpkin purée or a fresh pumpkin. I baked Matt the same pie but used regular sugar and poured it into a vegan crust. I had a bite of his [...]

I am sitting on the couch right now with the game on, well a game. I am not exactly a football fan, but I keep Matt company for the last couple of hours for college football Saturdays. I tend to be a tad distracting when I show him things from Regretsy ;-) Tomorrow we are [...]

I still read The Homesick Texan, the gateway blog for me. Before Lisa’s blog I had never even had an interested in reading blogs or being a blogger, but she opened my eyes to fantastic homemade refritos and the blogosphere. Most of her recipes are just eye candy as they have ingredients I don’t generally [...]

Exhibit A: So I’m having a little chocolate with my breakfast. What’s the big deal? That happens to be a big warm bowl of buckwheat mixed with cocoa powder, coconut milk, a banana, some stevia, a little vanilla, and a big dollop of Sunbutter. Thanks to Heather for mentioning this variety that is JUST sunflower [...]

As promised, here is the recipe I have been using to make raw pumpkin pie at Healeo. We only had one order for a whole pie, but we have been selling out of the slices quickly. After Thanksgiving I am going to move on from Pumpkin though. I haven’t tried this recipe in anything but [...]

After a long chilly & drizzly day I was craving soup. I crave soup a lot during the Autumn and Winter so this is no surprise. I sat at my desk at working taking inventory of my pantry and freezer at home.
