You may remember that, over 2 years ago (!) I fell in love with Kim O’Donnel’s The Meat Lover’s Meatless Cookbook: Vegetarian Recipes Carnivores Will Devour. Kim’s book inspired me to make tempeh for the first time and I’ve had success with everything I’ve made out of that book. This year for Christmas my sister [...]
We’re halfway through the month of January and so far, I’m feeling pretty good about 2013. I haven’t accomplished an earth-shattering number of tasks, but we’ve gotten together with some friends, I’ve made it to the gym a few times and I’m feeling pretty relaxed. But my class for this semester starts tomorrow and I’m [...]
My (just married) sister recently texted me and requested this post. Brian immediately told me that I’m unqualified to write this post, as I’m pretty bad at remembering to prepare side dishes as well. I tried to keep my suggestions in this post simple, but I’m sure I left something out. Feel free to add [...]
When you get your produce from a farmer’s market or CSA, it sometimes looks a little different than at the grocery store. For one thing, it’s not as perfect looking and usually not as clean, both of which I’m completely alright with. Straight carrots are highly overrated. But there’s also the issue of greens; supermarket [...]
I have a hard time creating original, or even semi-original, recipes. My Evernote account is now up to 2,334 notes, almost all of them recipes and every day new and delicious sounding ideas fill my Google Reader. I love to cook, but I don’t like to waste food, so I’d rather make someone else’s great [...]
As I mentioned a few months ago, I’ve been trying to make food during the weekend that Brian and I can take to school as a hot lunch. My favorite recipes make a lot of food with little effort and require few dishes or utensils at work. Last week I made Curried Brown Rice with [...]
Contrary to popular belief, I never set out to be one of those people who eats weird food. Healthier food, maybe. Homemade food, definitely. But I’m not really interested in being known for my strange food choices. In fact, I tend to shy away from trendy ingredients. So, while a lot of other healthy living [...]
Winter is quickly approaching (at least, that’s what they tell me, but it’s supposed to reach 80 degrees here today). As much as I hate winter, I’m definitely looking forward to the return of winter produce, especially squash. I don’t know how I survived the first 25 years or so of my life without eating [...]
After my weekend realization that fall is here and the onset of a head cold that makes me want to stay in bed all day, there was only one thing I could do: make soup. Luckily I picked up some excellent soup ingredients at the farm last week. I decided to use our CSA leek, [...]
As part of my blogging break, I’ve asked some of my friends to guest post. This post is from my new blend, Halley, who writes over at Blunder Construction. Today she’s sharing some of her favorite summertime recipes. Enjoy! Summertime and the livin’s easy… as long as I have the fans and A/C on full [...]
