I have been so busy/stressed/uninspired lately that cooking at home, let alone new recipes has been but a figment of my imagination, but after a long, boring day studying macro economics I was craving a distraction so pursued the cupboards and dragged myself to the… Continue Reading “wild mushroom risotto”
This Middle Eastern-inspired spread is one of my new favorite recipes, and I have found the perfect gluten-free alternative to breadcrumbs! It’s another yummy recipe from Pure Vegan; a quick and easy, super-tasty spread you can have on any kind of bread as a snack… Continue Reading “muhammara middle eastern spread”
So, this hummus recipe has been set for disaster since I first thought I’d make it… I like hummus but I’m generally not a huge fan of beans (or at least my digestive system isn’t); however, my boyfriend loves hummus so I originally set… Continue Reading “hummus, the freshly cooked bean type”
I’m in love with Joseph Shuldiner’s new recipe book Pure Vegan. It’s beautifully presented (yes, I’m a sucker for sexy photos of food), and it’s all VEGAN and mostly whole-foods / plant-based, and by this I mean that not all the recipes depend on… Continue Reading “baked ratatouille”
It doesn’t happen very often, but sometimes I get a nasty craving for something creamy… and attending to this craving vegan-style has been easier than I ever would have thought! This dish is cooked, but if you want something raw, check out my chili… Continue Reading “creamy mushroom and leek pasta”
It wasn’t my intention to do two blogs in one day, but you have to strike while inspiration is hot, right?! My goal for 2013 is to try a new recipe every week, and given it’s Sunday of the first week, I had to… Continue Reading “spanish lentils and mushroom stew”
To be totally honest, family holiday meals in the chilly New England climate get me a little down. Being 100% raw was the worst – bringing raw burgers and a dehydrator to the ‘in-law’s’ was kind of embarrassing and no one ever really wants… Continue Reading “mushroom and lentil loaf”
So I know this recipe might get me in ‘trouble’ with some of my strictly raw friends, or those that don’t ever eat honey (or peanut butter for that matter), but sometimes I like to compromise a little so I can cook a meal… Continue Reading “peanut vegetable stir-fry”
Today was shopping day and organic berries and stone fruits are out in force, so we spent most of the afternoon eating the delicious selection of cherries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, grapes, apricots, and nectarines I so naughtily washed and placed on the counter. As… Continue Reading “moroccan quinoa pilaf”
Today I played gardener, handy(wo)man, cleaner, laundry-lady, interior (re)decorator, and yogi. Come 6:30pm however, I just didn’t have the energy to add grocery-shopper or gourmet chef to that list! I didn’t eat much all day – about 8 bananas, a dozen medjool dates, and… Continue Reading “hearty lentil soup”
