Things have been slowly moving along, some days, and others I’m not sure what hit me. Between balancing work, the kids, the house, the husband (who admittedly gets the short end of the stick at times), I’m pretty much spinning in circles for most of my days/nights. The growing of this baby is getting near [...]

Palak Tofu
Posted in Dinner, Indian, tagged Indian, Spinach, Tofu, Vegan, Vegetarian on November 8, 2011 | 1 Comment »
As the weather has turned colder, we’ve been getting a lot of spinach from the CSA, and we usually have a big tub of the same on hand anyway. And one thing about spinach is that it is 1) not very durable, and 2) doesn’t keep for very long (see #1). So I’ve been tossing [...]
Coconut Curry Dal

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 [...]
Red Pepper & Rosemary Carrot Soup
Posted in Dinner, Soups/Stews, tagged Carrots, Potatoes, Roasted Red Pepper, Rosemary, Soups/Stews on September 30, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Though it didn’t start its humble life as such, this soup ended up being the perfect fall lunch or dinner. It was a beautiful, deep orange with flecks of green rosemary sprinkled throughout. The flavors were intense, many of them subtle, the rosemary and roasted red pepper playing nicely off of one another, and [...]
Viking Roots

One of our recent CSA aquisitions, that lasted about 24 hours, was a small bag of Purple Viking Potatoes. Not everyone is familiar with the fact that Minnesota is home to the Minnesota Vikings, an NFL team. Now, I am not at all a football person. In fact, the last time I attended a football [...]
Chickpea Cutlets & Southern-Style Greens
Posted in Dinner, tagged Beans, Greens, Southern, Vegan, Vegetarian on September 15, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Chickpea cutlets are to my heart and stomach what I know things like chicken-fried steak and the much-loved fried chicken are to most Southerners. I was raised in an area that [thought it] was like the deep South. Speech, summers, and people, in general, are slower, the economy was poorer, and many things were thought [...]
Sunburst Squash and Seitan Saute
Posted in Dinner, Italian, tagged Beans, Garden, Italian, Vegan, Vegetarian on August 30, 2011 | 1 Comment »
It has occurred to me that I tend to make many “one-pan” recipes lately, and honestly, I don’t know how that happened. I used to adore spending hours in the kitchen even if only on the weekend, chopping, slicing, measuring, and slowly cooking for an afternoon, to come out with a beautiful and flavorful meal [...]
Pesto Rigatoni with Tempeh, Summer Squash, & Spinach
Posted in Dinner, Italian, tagged Greens, Italian, Pasta, Squash, Tempeh, Vegetarian on August 18, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I’m not Italian, though I consider myself some sort of Euro-mutt and perhaps a long distant relation had some sort of tendril of Italy in their blood. But they aren’t the only ones who can love and make fragrant and delicious pasta dishes, right? There’s something therapeutic \in cooking\ about making pasta for me. The [...]
Smoky Black Beans

As vegetarians, we’re always trying to be intentional about protein in our daily menu. One of the simplest and most healthy ways to get a complete protein is to eat beans with rice. And one of our family’s favorite beans and rice dishes is the smoky black beans I’m about to tell you how to [...]
Harissa-Seared Tempeh with Nettles & Mushrooms

Though you might think all we eat is pasta, indignantly – “no, no you say, that isn’t right!” The fact is, however, I love pasta. So often do we eat pasta that one might think that our Euro-mutt selves are indeed partially Italian. Unfortunately, no, at least to either Granola or my understanding. And pasta, [...]
