Herbed Bread Twists

  Rise.    And shine. After a few recent failures, it’s such a relief to FINALLY have a success story with yeast dough.    Up until this point, the only loaves that were both edible and risen were from my bread machine, which lead me to believe I was unable to knead on my own. Hallelujah!       This dough is truly flexible and can be used for everything from bread twists, to soft pretzels, to pizza dough. Basic Dough: 1 1/2 cup warm water 1 tbsp sugar 2 1/4 tsp active yeast (1… Read more >

I love rolls

I’ve eaten at Wokcano before, so there weren’t any surprises with this order.  Just yummy sushi.  Avocado and seaweed salad are two of my favorite things in the world. Roooooolls!!    It’s hard to play favorites, but this was it.   Wokcano still doesn’t have brown rice.  LAME!  Here’s a fun April prompt (#HAWMC) I felt like sharing… 10 things I couldn’t live without (I decided to choose foods): quinoa hummus seitan bread ginger coffee oatmeal Bragg’s liquid aminos avocado carrots What’s on your list?

Pure Market Express

At Expo West, I came across a company I’d never heard of before called Pure Market Express.  They were super friendly and offered me samples of raw vegan chocolate truffle pie in a little shot glass.  How could I not fall in love immediately? I know.  It seems too good to be true.  But I swear, it’s not a hologram.  That beauty is the real deal.   I enjoyed the shooter and went on my way, dreaming of the day I’d recreate something similar in my own kitchen.  A week or so later I got… Read more >

Notes by Kyle

Kyle was just as sample savvy as I was at ExpoWest.  He promised to do reviews as he ate them, but I thought he was joking…   Then I got an email from him (with photos!) and descriptions and realized he was serious.  Here are his notes, copied verbatim from his emails to me. Late July organic Dude Ranch multigrain snack chips Great cheese flavor and not too ranchy (the name is a bit deceiving), especially since I don’t like ranch dressing. The chips also have that fun powder flavor stuff on top that sticks… Read more >

Four ingredients

If you like Italian food (particularly lasagna) and you’re looking for a shortcut.  This is it. Vegan and gluten free deliciousness is minutes away.  [Ok, that’s a slight exaggeration, there’s definitely 30 minutes of oven time to factor in] What you need: marinara sauce vegan cream cheese (I used Follow Your Heart brand) rice paper (Asian markets will have them for half the cost of conventional grocers) tempeh (I used LightLife flax) What you do: Layer.  For the rice paper, hold it under running water for a few seconds so it starts to soften.  Once… Read more >
