It makes it really easy and tasty to reduce-reuse-recycle, as the saying goes, when you so something like, oh, carve pumpkins and then roast the seeds to eat as a snack later. Since I knew my girls wouldn’t be very into these anyway, I decided to go ahead and take them the spicy route.

Hungarian Casserole

I came up with this recipe a few years ago, and for some reason it hasn’t made it into the regular menu-plan rotation. It’s a bit of a mystery as to why, because it really is a lovely casserole that’s healthy, filling, and easy to boot. It’s also pretty cheap to make, consisting mainly of [...]

{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

It’s been getting colder and the apples have been beyond belief with taste. I am reminded, somewhat viscerally, that when produce is in season and really local, you can’t go wrong. I don’t know if you all have been just drooling over the apples, but they’ve been almost a transcendental experience around here. Minnesota’s got [...]

One of the types of cuisine that Granola and I have always enjoyed, but never really explored in our own kitchen until we became vegetarians, was Indian food. Really, what isn’t to like? Fragrant samosas, lovely green palak paneer, curries stuffed full of vegetables and legumes, savory and sweet sides made from exotic fruits…it’s a [...]

Spinach & Mushroom Lasagna ~ Tofu Ricotta
Posted in Italian, Vegan, Vegetarian, tagged Italian, Mushrooms, Pasta, Spinach, Tofu on October 11, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Our family loves lasagna. Is that a no brainer? When one of us (usually Granola or I) say, “I really want some lasagna, it’s been awhile,” it isn’t typically too long until we’ve obtained the ingredients and are ready to dine on a generous helping of tasty lasagna. I grew up eating lasagna that my [...]
Savory Autumn Stew

We’ve been really busy around here; I’ve been working a lot, Granola also works about 50 hours weekly, there’s school and toddlers throwing tantrums…a lot. Did you know that at about 20 months, toddlers will often get these Jekyll-Hyde types of personality and mood distortions? Either our oldest daughter was much easier, or since Granola [...]
Pumpkin Garlic Knots
Posted in Bread on October 4, 2011 | 2 Comments »
If the increasing posts on baked goods and soup, the changing leaves and cooler nights, the need for layers (sometimes even during the day) weren’t enough to tip you off, the autumnal equinox has officially occurred. On September 23rd, fall arrived in the Northern Hemisphere. That means that even though it was almost 83°F today [...]
