When looking for some meals to make for the week, I kept pulling up curry recipes. I must be in an Indian food phase (works for me!) because I have two on the docket for the next few days. The first one I made is this Indian Spiced Eggplant and Cauliflower Stew from Eating Well. [...]

The picture of this gorgeous looking purple cabbage salad caught my eye as soon as I received the recipe email in my inbox from Vegetarian Times. I made a big container of this salad, nearly doubling all of the ingredients so we’d have a big batch. The great thing about most of the ingredients is [...]

I love cold grain salads, and Funk prefers them hot. What’s a gal to do? Make them the way I like ‘em. Hey! I’m the chef of the house! If he wants it hot, he knows where to find the microwave. This salad, though, is best cold or at room temperature and it is bursting [...]

This is one of those dishes that I really wish I had someone to share that first bite with so we could high-five each other about how amazing it tastes. Two nights a week Funk is geeking out at MBA school, and on those nights I usually just make myself a massive salad, or a [...]

I didn’t think I’d love Pinterest as much as I do, but I’m hooked. I’ve been slowly adding recipe pictures to my boards of things I want to cook, and love the image inspiration. When I came across a photo for this Quinoa Kale and Apple salad, I knew I’d love it (sans feta cheese [...]

Every few weeks, Funk organizes a meeting at his work for a handful of people. One week he made mention that it’d be fun if he brought in some tasty treats to share with the group (translation: please send me to work with food), and added that it’d be a good way to show others [...]

These are so easy! And delicious. I couldn’t stop patting myself on the back during dinner, giving compliments to the chef (um, that’s me) for this meal. Ingredients: Crunchy taco shells – I used Trader Joe’s 1 package tempeh, diced into small pieces a few teaspoons taco seasoning shredded cabbage olive oil salsa In a [...]

Over the weekend, Elizabeth, Jess and I joined another nutrition-nerd pal for brunch at Veggie Galaxy in Cambridge. This was my second time at VG and I was SO excited to go back. Funk and I recently went for lunch and I enjoyed a delicious vegan “omelet” with Taza hot chocolate. Before I even got [...]

On Friday night, Funk and I had date night at a restaurant in Somerville I’ve been meaning to try: True Bistro. It opened within a year or so, I believe, and is a straight-up, all vegan restaurant. In fact, it’s the only all vegan restaurant I can think of in the area that doesn’t serve [...]

When it comes to most recipes, I usually don’t make the same thing twice. I like to experiment in the kitchen and get bored eating the same thing over and over. But when it comes to chili? I don’t stray. I know what I like, and it’s Eating Well’s Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili. It [...]
