Lately my Sunday evening routine, when it comes to making meals, involves my beloved rice cooker. In it, I can toss some veggies, spices, seasonings, and two hours later have a great grain dish waiting for us with leftovers for the next few days. It requires absolutely no stove or oven heat, which is key [...]

I started earlier in the day soaking the bulgur with equal parts bulgur and water. I really should incorporate bulgur into our repertoire more. It’s so insanely simple since you don’t even need to cook it! The bulgur soaks up all of the water in about an hour, and you’re ready to use it as [...]

This guest post is brought to you by the fabulous Robyn Webb who has a way with words when writing about food that has me craving whatever it is she describing. After reading this post, you’ll probably want to hop on the next flight to Australia to try the Salmon Salad she writes about. A [...]

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 [...]
