Asparagus, one of my favorite vegetables ever, has come into season again. Along with lovely things like daffodils. spring rains, and blustery days. I like transition, even when it can make you uncomfortable for a bit, whether it be a new baby, a cold and unexpected rain shower, a change in jobs, fresh veggies [...]

You’ve maybe noticed that there’s been a decided lack of posts for the last while. Things really trickled over the last few months and then more recently went from a trickle to completely absent. That would be because about three weeks ago, we had the joy, the pleasure, and the privilege to welcome a new [...]
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 [...]

First of all, let me just say that this is a bit of a cheater post. If you read this blog and expect to find delicious and (mostly) nutritious recipes along with pictures of darling and sweet little girls, then you won’t be disappointed in the latter aspect. The only thing is, I can’t include [...]
Parsnip & Potato Soup – CSA #1
Posted in Salads, Soups/Stews, Vegan, Vegetarian on May 16, 2011 | 1 Comment »
We recently started our CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture, box pickup. We’ve been anticipating and excited for months about getting our weekly installments of fresh, locally grown vegetables to play around with in the kitchen. We decided to split the box with Granola’s mom, and with the amount of veggies we all consume, we’re now [...]
Tofu & Kale Scramble

You’ve now heard my rant about breakfast, and seen the posts on bagels, biscuits, and other breakfasty deliciousness. Tofu scramble, a discovery during the vegan days, (tip cap to Isa) saved me from pining away for eggs and their various breakfast incarnations.
Dill Tofu Salad

We first discovered this tofu ‘eggless’ salad back in our vegan days, and were amazed & delighted at the absolutely spot-on flavor of a ‘real’ egg salad.
Green Lentil & Wheatberry Salad

A while back our co-op had a delicious salad featuring French lentils, and I’ve been toying with different versions of lentil salads since then. This is the latest, and a definite winner. The dressing was very light, so feel free to play around with it, add more, less, or skip doing your own dressing and [...]
