Chocolate Chia Pudding

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Averie has done it again. She's made another recipe I have actually made twice. Not only is the Chocolate Chia Pudding delicious and reminiscent of tapioca, it contains a whopping (approximately) 12 grams of fiber per serving (each recipe makes one serving). I and many other nutritionists ...

Vegan Almond Poppyseed Muffins (with photo)

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Some folks go crazy for lemon-poppyseed.  Not me.  I go for almond.  Yesterday, as part of my Simple Pleasures Initiative (which I'll discuss in a later post), I bought some poppyseeds in the bulk section of the local natural foods store.  Today we're having these muffins for lunch.  I couldn't ...

Veggie Pot Pie

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

I know I've blogged about pot pie before. But I just love it so much. Today I had a bit of extra time, and decided to make potpie from scratch. Homemade whole wheat pie crust loaded with carrots, peas, white beans, potatoes, corn, celery, onion, and herbs, ...

A really fun Christmas gift from Hubs

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

At Christmas Hubs told me: You're getting a surprise on January 17; you need to be available from 4 pm to midnight. Oooh, what could this be? Oh what joyous communal fun!  It was a Indian cooking lesson with a chef from our local vegan restaurant.  He and two other of our ...

Vegetable Pot Pie

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

I am so proud of myself.  I made veggie pot pie without a recipe, and even made the pie crust (I used a recipe for that).  I just dreamed it up out of my own head.  Whole grain crust filled with cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, peas, onions, and garlic in a ...

Good Suppers Make Winter Worthwhile

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Winter and I are not friends.  But it does make hot, hearty suppers especially enjoyable.  Imagine this:  savory french onion soup with slow-caramelized onions and rich hints of tamari and mustard, rustic wheat bread from the co-op, a sweet and tart coleslaw of winter greens and veggies, and a glass ...

It’s in the Freezer!

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Seeing photos of everyone's fridge/freezers across the vegan blogs lately inspired me to clean mine out. I am not a good photo sharer, so I didn't even bother with that (although once my new laptop comes in I might get better at photos).  But I did make room! A few years ...

Pumpkin Cranberry Scones, Lentil Soup

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

This evening I was feeling industrious and decided to cook some Vcon recipes I haven't tried yet.  Maybe you've noticed that the only cookbook I ever use is Veganomicon.  That's partly because it's the only vegan cookbook I own (I have asked Santa for another one for Xmas.  Which should ...

A Chili Day

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

It's 48 degrees out, and rainy. Which makes us hungry for chili. So I thought I'd share my very own recipe for "Slap Yo Momma Sweet Ass Super Veggie Chili". The Beans: 1 cup red kidney beans 1/2 cup black beans 1/2 cup red (or pinto) beans *I use dry beans cause they're ...

McDougall-worthy Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

For all the McDougall-izers (of which I am only half-heartedly, occasionally), here is a cookie that will make your heart happy.  If you want, instead of putting them on a cookie sheet, you can put them in a muffin-top pan. 1 Spice cake mix (this is how my mom does it, ...
