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 [...]

The other day I got a present in the mail that I am SO excited about. The nice people at TofuXpress  sent me their tofu press to review. I love any new kitchen gadgets and within hours of the UPS man dropping this off at my door, I got to work on a tofu dish [...]

Funk went to the grocery store armed with our shopping list for the week and ingredients for the slaw. The only problem was, I didn’t write down the key coleslaw ingredient: shredded cabbage. Whoops! So I needed to [...]

Over the weekend, Funk and I had Jess and Tim over for a simple summer dinner party before going to a farewell party for Corinne, who is leaving Boston today for San Francisco. We’ll miss you, Corinne! I was inspired by some recipes I saw in Health Magazine to make for dinner: one for Warm [...]

When flipping through my most recent Vegetarian Times magazine, I found a fabulous chickpea and artichoke sandwich filler recipe that I tore out immediately. It’s been sitting on our kitchen table all week, so I put the recipe into action for dinner the other night. As usual, I made some slight alterations: I didn’t use [...]

When I was at Ward’s Berry Farm a few weekends ago, I noticed an odd looking little veggie called a Lemon Cucumber. I had never actually seen one of these before, but they seemed so familiar. Then I remembered reading a recent blog post on 101 Cookbooks about these little cukes and decided to buy [...]

The recipes for last night’s dinner were ones I randomly put together in my head, not having a clue how all of my ingredients combined would actually turn out. Sometimes these are the best meals to make, if you like getting creative in the kitchen. Last night’s concoction was a delicious success. I’ll call these [...]
