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 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. [...]

A little housekeeping note. I am going to start replying to most of the comments in the comment section rather than e-mailing everyone separately. I will still do that from time to time too, but often the reply is something that others might benefit from, so don’t think I ignored you if you don’t get [...]

Yesterday was Cinco De Mayo so of course I had to make Mexican food. I re-did the Mexican quinoa (with a few minor adjustments, which I also made to the previous blog), and I also tried my hand at some Marissified enchiladas. I admit that this first attempt was not perfect. in fact next time [...]
