Reader’s request: For simplicity’s sake

  Nowadays I tend to post my more creative recipes as opposed to my thrown together quick plates.  But every time I show a random meal that I have mindlessly made up I get requests for them to continue.  I guess people just want simple.  Here is simple: quinoa, carrots, peas, and seitan.  Prep: Bulk quinoa from the rice cooker.  Frozen peas.  Log seitan made before the work week starts.  So the only thing I had to do when I got home was chop (horse carrots and seitan) and scoop things onto my plate.  It… Read more >

Potato Double Take

A long time ago I got a coupon for two Simply Potatoes products [part of the foodbuzz taste maker program]. I rarely hit up conventional supermarkets since I’m a Whole Foods snob, but I finally made it to the store to redeem the coupons.  I like free. I also like wheat free.
