Dough recipe here.    I was really in the mood for a kale salad on the side, but we didn’t have any kale.  I could have just used spinach, but I wasn’t feeling it.  Luckily I had these kale chips on hand.    These kale chips are so good.  They snap off like deliciously fresh, crispy baked greens, and the nutty tahini coating makes them melt in your mouth like… Read more >

Time and a half

Just plugging along as per usual – work work work with free time filled with potting plants and cheering on my husband.  And eating.   I’ve been poking my head into the Food Revolution truck every day on my lunch break to see if Jamie Oliver is there…still no sighting though.  I really want to show my lunches off.  Or ask for a job.   This was a salad with spinach, quinoa, & blackened tempeh.  So I think he’d be a fan….
