The every-day eats

I am bad about taking pics of my daily eats (like I used to) but I get requests for them more than the “real” recipes…so here are  bunch of the quickie things I throw together on the regular.  From last week… Millet with sautéed spinach, baked tofu & avocado I made the millet in the rice cooker, sautéed the spinach with sesame oil and tamari, and used Wildwood tofu. I made extras.   I also re-made this salmon pasta, but in a HUUUUGE vat.   Lots of veggies to use up?  Throw them in!  I… Read more >

Savory Tomato & Millet Pie

  I’m not sure anyone will want to replicate this dish, but here’s what I did, in case you want to tweak it to improve upon it.  For the record, I usually don’t post iffy recipes, but this was still yummy, so I’m doing it anyway.  Just note the errors I made along the way and how you can possibly prevent them.    Starting with the crust. Are you kidding me Immaculate Baking Co??  I followed the directions for using their pie crusts to a “t” and as you can see from the above, I… Read more >

Sticky orange tempeh

When I say sticky orange tempeh, I mean it.  This is sticky sweet yummy.   Can you tell from the way the sauce coats the tempeh?    I’m not a tempeh lover…it’s just not my fave (unless someone else – like a vegan restaurant chef – prepares it).  So I was pretty surprised by how much I liked this dish.  I really really liked it.  I could eat tempeh like this every day of the week.  Seriously.   Sticky Orange Tempeh [vegan, gluten free] Ingredients: 1 block (8 oz.) tempeh, cubed (I used Lightlife’s organic… Read more >

The weekly menu

Since a lot of people have been interested in our budget friendly meal planning, here’s what we had this past week.  [Spoiler alert: they’re all really inexpensive dinners] Monday Egg noodles with teriyaki tofu, broccoli, & cashews The organic broccoli was leftover from one of last week’s dinners.  The roasted salted cashews are a pantry staple.  The egg noodles were on sale at WF (we used half of the 1 lb bag/$1.69).  The organic tofu was from WF (I baked the whole block/$1.69). As usual, the ‘fu was pressed for 2-3 hours, then baked for… Read more >

Sweaty Selections

This weekend was a (partial) work weekend.  And it was INSANELY hot.  Fall is nowhere in sight and while I usually love 90 degree temps, my hormones are not on the same page.  At all.  Our AC isn’t doing much of anything and so Kyle and I spent a large part of the weekend bitching about how uncomfortable and sweaty we were.  So productive. Anyway.  I did take pics of parts of the weekend, so I’ll share. Friday morning I had oatmeal with apples and almond butter.  Even though it was hot, it was the… Read more >
