I made some gluten free, no knead bread! (replace egg with flax egg) I made some dairy-free vegan meltable monterey jack cheese! (from the Artisan Vegan Cheese book) Stick ’em together? Toast it up in a pan? You get a grilled cheese! And it even looks legit. BOOM.
Something new I discovered with my latest CSA share! I thought it was another kind of squash, but upon closer inspection and a detailed lineup of the packing list, I figured out these bad boys are “lemon cucumbers.” They look like lemons (ish) but taste like cukes! They are a bit on the seedful side,…
With a CSA, you get a ton of vegetables each week. What to do with all of them? I don’t want anything to go to waste, so at the end of the week, I generally just to a stir fry or noodle dish that uses up most/all of the remaining vegetables. Here’s a quick stir…
Not MS, but definitely medically hopeful – a breakthrough in cancer cell treatment out of Australia! Yay science!
I love me some fresh spring rolls! And have recently found a love for tofu satay. I wasn’t much of a tofu fan before, but, as I keep mentioning, when things change, so must I! It’s amazing how one adapts… Anyway, making your own spring rolls are actually pretty easy, especially when you have someone…
Summer is grilling season!! Even though meat is no longer on the table (unless you count fish, but I don’t, that’s more just fish, and meat is meat… Which probably doesn’t make much sense, but whatevs), there’s plenty to grill. M and I are not really fans of the portobello. But, times change, and so…
I attribute this find to “M” yet again! He’s been great at finding new recipes for us to try, plus he’s my trusty partner in the kitchen every day. We have a nice little groove going. It’s nice to have company while cooking. He found this one in Joanne Wier’s “From Tapas to Meze” cookbook.…
Yes – MORE dill!! Yeah! I know you’re excited, too. 🙂 I actually really like dill, so I don’t mind having to make many dill flavored things. I think I might try my hand at dill pickles, too… Anyhoo, M was off having dinner with work buddies or something, so I decided to make up…
Back to the recipes!! I thought I’d never have this salad again. It made me sad. But then I got happy when I learned about “Artisan Vegan Cheese.” It was a life changer. There is cheese again!! Hallelujah!! This is her adapted recipe, posted here, for the mozzarella. A couple things: the soy yogurt does…
I follow a blog called “Cranky Fitness” – the author is pretty humorous and honest about the trials and tribulations of working out regularly. Today she posted about training your brain – maintaining a positive attitude and such. This hit home, as it’s what I need to be doing, and what the MBSR class is…
First off, I’m not that great with words. I try to express what I’m thinking and feeling, but often it comes out in only somewhat coherent phrases. So that’s why I try to stick with just recipes and quick little blurbs. But every now and then, I’ll want and try to post something with more.…
We just got back from a long weekend (5 nights) in the SF/Bay Area. We’re looking to move to someplace sunnier than Seattle (vitaminD is important!), and SF/Bay is a good spot, for many reasons. It’s sunnier (although that can be said of most places in comparison to Seattle!), it’s got a good amount of…
I used to make a version of this all the time, but with sausage instead. Here, I’ve just replaced the sausage with mushrooms. Serve it with a side salad and you’ve got a filling, easy meal. The amount below makes about 4 servings (or 6 if you don’t eat much). 8 oz gf pasta (I…
Salads, salads, salads! You want to eat them, but you don’t want them to get boring, amiright? Here’s just a few of my favorite dressings to keep things interesting. A forewarning – some of these are very vinegar forward. I prefer it this way, not just to keep the amount of oil low (or gone),…
I’ve still got a LOT of dill (and chives) from the CSA… And they keep giving me more each week… So I’ve got to come up with more ideas! This time, a nice, light summery bean salad with a dill dressing. Mega easy! 4-5 T fresh dill, chopped 1 T fresh chives, chopped 2 stalks…
