kur delights [giveaway]

A few weeks ago I got a package in the mail from kur organic superfoods.  Their Delights were a big hit at Expo East, but since I wasn’t able to attend, they were kind enough to send me a sample of all 3 delicious flavors. Coconut Creme Dark Chocolate Mint Brownie There’s plenty for the company to brag about, like the fact that they’re treats are certified organic, non GMO, gluten free, vegan and raw.  But the real question is, how do they taste? That’s where I can help you.  They’re fantastic! The closest thing… Read more >

Halloween Pumpkin Cookies

Did anyone else see this recipe on the back of this month’s Whole Foods coupon booklet? These appealed to me for a few reasons: 1. They are no-bake (aka quick and effortless) 2. They are seasonal (always a plus) 3. They call for marshmallows (I’ve had smores on the brain for a few months) 4. They use ingredients I had on hand (sorta) I made a lot of substitutions.  Like adding pumpkin puree (for more orange and nutrition).  And using more than one cereal (GF cornflakes by Erewhon and puffed millet by Arrowhead Mills).  And… Read more >

Mini muffin pot pies with gravy

Guess what’s for dinner?  Chicken vegan pot pies! My mom2 made this and I’m pretty jealous I wasn’t in town to sample it.  I noted her changes below (including the different recipes she used for pie dough and gravy) and rewrote the instructions for the filling process to streamline the steps.  It is definitely not a quick recipe, but dang if it doesn’t look awesome… Vegan Harvest Pies (recipe inspired by VeganDad) Pie Filling Ingredients: 4 cups diced butternut squash 1 cup dried cranberries 1/4 cup minced shallot 1 tsp olive oil salt & pepper… Read more >

Choose your own…

You guys probably know my basic hippie bowl formula by now: grain + veggie/green + protein My classic is a quinoa, carrot & seitan bowl, but I also love brown rice, squash & tofu…couscous, spinach & “sausage”…millet, tempeh & kale…the list goes on and on.  This is a pretty obvious statement, but tweaking a meal by only one or two ingredients can often lead to the feeling that it’s a totally different dish.  And you really don’t have to do much extra work.  Take the meal I made the other night for example. protein =… Read more >
