Broccoli & Quinoa Orange Chick’n [giveaway]

Name a vegan meal that’s more simple than an Asian stir-fry.  Go on.  I dare you to come up with something more basic. I’ll take it a step further.  How about a stir fry that’s got all the flavor of a restaurant dish but is ready in under 30 minutes? Now I have your attention. Guess what they are carrying at Costco now!?!? You guys.  This is huge.  Gardein’s Mandarin Orange Crispy Chick’n is now being sold in the frozen section at Costco. The chicken is separate from the little sauce packet.  They were all… Read more >

Just two scones

I’m not sure if it’s just me (it wouldn’t be the first time…), but sometimes I bake things and get sick of them after a few servings.  Maybe that sounds lame – it’s just that I don’t necessarily want to eat banana bread every day for weeks in a row.  I like diversity.  I want to be able to have oats or toast or grits or something else in the morning without worrying about my precious baked goods going bad.  Most of the time I end up freezing the leftovers (imagine how great of a… Read more >

Holiday leftover solution

I realize certain things are not meant to be photographed.   Stew is one of those things.  [Same goes for certain angles of my pregnant body.  And the spider web situation we have going on in the front yard.  And Kyle’s closet.  No seriously, it’s out of control.]   Maybe Ansel Adams could make this look tasty, but I am working with an iPhone at 5 am in a poorly lit kitchen.  Natural sunlight, what??  Just trust me.  It’s good.   Leftover Crock-Pot Stew [vegan, gluten free] Ingredients: 2 tbsp olive oil 1/2 yellow onion… Read more >

As big as a head of cauliflower

  You know how I said I got a head of cauliflower at the farmer’s market this past weekend?  Well guess what?  Meant to be. Cauli meet Staub.  You two will be good friends by the end of the night.   Chunky Rosemary Cauliflower Soup [vegan, gluten free] Ingredients: 2 tbsp olive oil 1/2 large yellow onion, diced 1 large head of cauliflower, chopped into small florets 3 cups vegetable broth 1/2 cup chickpeas + 1/2 cup chickpea liquid (that it was cooked in or canned with) 1/2+ tsp rosemary (more to taste) 1/2 tsp… Read more >
