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. [...]

Two weeks ago I went to the Farmer’s market in the University District here in Seattle. I brought with me $20 cash to buy 2 apples, an onion, and some collard greens. i have been getting my CSA box and so I just needed to supplement. Well, within 5 minutes I spent half my money [...]

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 [...]

Happy Memorial Day! I would like to take the time to personally thank all of the women and men who have sacrificed their lives serving the USA. I know that it is something that I personally could not do, and I am grateful to those who choose to wear the uniform. I hope that you [...]

I have had bread on the brain lately, and this banana bread was something I lay in bed dreaming about on Sunday morning. I mulled over it for a while and then dragged myself out of the cozy warmth donated to me by two sweet feline bodies, and got to work. I thought about having [...]

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 [...]

A few months ago there was an episode of No Reservations on the Azores. I had never even heard of the Azores and found it fascinating. I also haven’t been able to get their kale soup out of my mind, so when Matt mentioned a sore throat and that he would like soup for dinner [...]

Yesterday I was feeling in the mood to bake something. I haven’t baked anything in a while and since I decided to opt out of my 7pm yoga class because the sun was so glorious (and I needed to get to bed earlier than I have been) I had time to make these cookies. I [...]

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 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 [...]
