Red lentil cauliflower curry, frozen and thawed from my extensive archive of left-overs, has the starring role on today’s lunch plate. To green it up a bit there’s the last of the CSA mixed greens, along with a bit of spinach sauteed with shallots and nutmeg and some Vegan Soul Kitchen pickled watermelon rinds, all [...]

Posted in Brunch, tagged Brunch, Chickpea cutlets, Enchiladas, Potato Chickpea Enchiladas, Potato Kale Enchiladas, Vegan, Veganomicon, Vegetarian, Viva Vegan on October 17, 2010 | 1 Comment »
So, as mentioned I’m a bit overwhelmed (in a good way) by foods at the moment. I recently bought Viva Vegan a great Latin vegan cookbook, and really want to cook from it,but also don’t want to stock my fridge any extra ingredients beyond what I already have. So I was leafing through that, and [...]
Well Stocked

So, this morning I picked up my bi-weekly CSA share. I was expecting mostly winter squash and tubers at this point in the season, but was happily surprised by green peppers, tomatoes, spinach and some other “summery” stuff, as well as squash, sweet potatoes etc. (Those red things in the lower left corner are the [...]
No meat, no potatoes

But still a fairly “meat and potatoes” kinda lunch. At least I think so. I rarely eat this sort of very m.o.r. American/ British food, but I wanted to use up odds and ends before I get my new batch of CSA veggies tomorrow. The chickpea cutlets are famously from Veganomicon. The green pea and [...]

This slaw is like crack and will enable you to eat not just your daily recommended intake of kale, but also about 2 gallons of nuts and oils in one sitting. I can’t claim any ownership to the original concept. Two years ago I got a somewhat similar kaleslaw recipe from my CSA, that had [...]

Even though I haven’t quite achieved my goal of cooking every recipe in Veganomicon (or any of my many other cookbooks) I broke down and bought two new ones. Terry Hope Romero’s Viva Vegan and Bryant Terry’s Vegan Soul Kitchen. Both of them are chock-full of amazing-looking recipes that I can’t wait to cook. I’ve [...]
Almond Milk How-To

I only recently realized it is super easy to make your own almond milk (and much cheaper than buying). The reason I found out about this was that I bought myself a masticating juicer (the kind that grinds rather than shreds veggies) and one of the selling points was nut milk-making. That said, it is [...]
Raw Avocado, Green Pea Soup
Posted in Blender, Dinner, Smoothie, Soup, tagged Avocado, Dinner, Green Pea, Lunch, Quick, Raw, Soup, Vegan, Vegetarian on October 13, 2010 | 2 Comments »
The two basic ingredients are avocado and frozen green peas (thawed). It’s quick, easy, delicious and very, very green. Here’s what you do: (Amount is for one person, based how much I’d like to eat in one meal, where the soup is the entire meal.) 1.5 cup of frozen peas 1/2 Hass avocado, or [...]
Pick yourself up and try again

I haven’t posted in a looong time. In fact I all but forgot about this blog. Busy with this and that. Life got in the way. Lately I’ve found myself in a bloggier mood, so I’m giving this food blogging thing another whirl. I won’t make any promises about grand plans or updating often, as [...]
