I’d like to thank Janel for giving me the opportunity to guest post while she is off enjoying her exotic and relaxing honeymoon. My name is Jess and I blog at A Fete for Food about cooking and eating healthy, local, delicious food when I can find it. In French, “fete” means party; my blog [...]

VegNews featured this recipe for Avocado Pesto Pasta a few weeks ago. When I clicked through it, I saw the chef behind the recipe masterpiece is one of my favorite vegan chefs, Chloe Coscarelli. She makes such decadent vegan recipes and takes head-turning photos of them. I knew it was a dish I had to [...]

Every few weeks when we grocery shop, Funk will toss some fake chick’n strips in the cart. I’m not a huge fan of these, as they’re pretty processed, but he likes them for their convenience and will incorporate them into a quick meal when I’m off kitchen duty. But when I got an email in [...]

I was recently invited to check out Tossed, a salad and sandwich shop in the Prudential Center in Boston. I’m a big fan of places that make those monster-sized salads with a whole slew of ingredients to toss in. Places like Cosi and other salad stars like it seem to be taking over food courts [...]

Usually around lunchtime I start thinking about dinner, if I haven’t already thought about it days in advance. But the other day around lunchtime, since I had no set idea for what to make for dinner, I started googling around and Tweeting asking for some creative tempeh ideas. Usually I’ll marinade it in some sort [...]

I’ve had wheat berries on the brain, big time. It’s like the universe knew, too, because as I was reading blogs last week I came across this one on Oh She Glows for Carrot Raisin Spelt Berry Salad (you can swap the spelt for wheat berries) which she adapted from Leslie Beck’s Carrot Wheat Berry [...]

  I’ve been on a whole grain kick lately and decided to re-make this favorite recipe I did a few months ago. Let me rephrase that: I’m always on a whole grain kick, but recently I’ve been trying to incorporate new whole grains (millet, bulgur, amaranth) into my diet. With some more red quinoa in [...]

Tonight Funk and I are heading to a Hanukkah party to celebrate night numero 3. Not knowing what kind of spread would be served, I decided to whip up a few goodies to bring to share with the crowd. I started by baking Mama Pea’s Dough Balls that have been taking over the blog and [...]

When I went grocery shopping this past weekend, I randomly tossed some avocados and a grapefruit in the cart. It wasn’t until I was thinking about what to make for dinner days later that I realized how tasty it’d be to combine the two, along with some grains and greens. Ingredients: 2 ripe avocados, sliced [...]

People have been telling me I have the best luck lately. I don’t know why. I mean, I guess, considering I won us a trip to Italy and our wedding invitations in the same week, but given some recent injuries, I feel like the unluckiest person on earth. And then I won again and I’m [...]
