Pumpkin & Pomegranate

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 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 [...]

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!

AKA Rain. It’s raining in Seattle again folks. Not that that will surprise anyone, though I do know it makes one Venezuelan beauty a bit teary. Personally I love this weather. I love the rain and what it brings. I am a big fan of moss, and green, and grey skies, cozy coffee shops, mushrooms, [...]

It’s official! It’s Fall! So for any of you who celebrate the equinox, I wish you a happy one! I took a rather blissful walk last night celebrating the change in season, and took a few photos along the way (sorry, it was dusk and the light was not working with me). I walked down [...]

I lived on a few dishes last fall, they were all fairly simple to make, healthy, and incredibly satisfying. This soup made many an appearance on my dinner table. The only change is that now instead of having fresh Grana Padano cheese melted on top, the soup gets a healthy sprinkling of vegan Parmesan. I [...]

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I definitely had a productive one., at least partly! Friday evening I went to my friend and neighbors’ house to buy some of their amazing produce. They have a yard to envy. They live outside the city a bit and their entire yard was planted with edible landscaping. [...]

I promised a soup extravaganza, but really one of them was much more stew than soup. Not that I cared, it was so good I think it might just be my “stew of the season”.  My neighbor (his driveway is the drop off spot for the CSA boxes) came by with “extras”, as he does [...]
