Areas of Expertise

I consider myself an expert in two areas.  Hummus Granola Hippie staples, right?  I make damn good versions of both, but when it comes right down to it, certain brands can do wondrous things, thereby blowing my own creations out of the water.  We all know which hummus brand I prefer (I’m fairly transparent on the blog – hint: rhymes with jabra).    [Truthfully, I don’t think our fridge has been without Sabra.  Ever.] But until recently, I preferred my own quinoa granola to almost every store bought kind on the market.  This recipe gets… Read more >

The “healthiest” salad

The second #HAWMC prompt called for an inspiring quote.  I’m one of those cheesy losers that already has a collection saved in my gmail inbox.  I like motivation.  Here are some of my favorites. Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. -Thomas Jefferson Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out. -Robert Collier I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure–which is:… Read more >

Tofu for Two

I feel like I could be one of the luckiest people ever because my husband craves (as in, actually requests without arm twisting) big salads and tofu dishes for dinner.  Seriously.  I’m either the world’s best cook (nope, that’s not it) or I won the lottery in finding my soul mate (sounds more likely). Naturally I oblige 100% of the time (I approach his veggie cravings like a rare bird watcher, not wanting to scare them off by making any noise or ruffling any feathers).  So even if I’m in a comfort food kind of… Read more >

Coveting comfort (giveaway)

Last week I teased you all with a post showing off my newest obsession, Gluten-Free Vegan Comfort Food by Susan O’Brien.   My comfort cravings have only intensified in the last week… Case in point: lasagna, mac ‘n cheese, pizza.  Yeah, I like this cookbook. Some other recipes I have highlighted for April include: home-made cashew milk, amaranth breakfast bowl, cheesy spoonbread, marinated tempeh, raw cinnamon rolls, and green curry peanut sauce with spinach and red rice.   I’ve already read the entire book from cover to cover (like most people read literature).  And I… Read more >

Pizza, peeta, pizza

I’ve been in a really big pizza rut. Rut has a negative connotation though.  I’m quite content with the pizza phase. Last month, for example, I ate pizza no less than 5 times. First, there was this surprise pizza lunch. Then I made these guys from home-made GF vegan bread that sucked (as bread, but worked as pizza crust). And I got this Daiya delight from the co-op. Twice! See?  Pizza on the brain! So it was surprising, but also not surprising, that after seeing Katniss start a revolution I wanted pizza AGAIN. Hostaria del… Read more >
