Since I’ve had such great success with Bob’s Red Mill’s pancake mix and Namaste’s Pancake and Waffle Mix, I thought I was on a roll when I grabbed the All Purpose Gluten Free Baking Mix, also from good ol’ Bob. The bag says 1:1 replacement for regular flour in any recipe, so I took that [...]
It might be time for a rice cooker again. If I am paying attention, I’m not too shabby at making rice on the stove. But, come on, how often am I paying attention to just one thing? Result: My brown rice with miso was more like..blackened brown rice with miso. There was a hint of [...]
More and more, eggs are becoming a favorite of mine. With some every week from the CSA and a decent supply at the Farmer’s Market and local healthfood store, I’m feeling pretty good about the quality, too. I know it’s not very vegan of me, but I’m glad there are eggs available that are [...]
Breakfast might be my most favorite dinner. Usually, that’s because I can justify some sort of bread doused in sugar, but not this night. This night, it was after 8 and we were starving. I was half out of it and the meal plan was flubbed, for whatever excuse I had that day, and we [...]
For some reason, I completely overlooked that this was in the “hot cereals” section and not the cold cereals. I guess I’d envisioned something Kashi would put out, with dried cranberry and pear chunks and a crunchy granola. I was a teensy bit off. This is a hot cereal- er, warmed cereal, if you’d like- [...]
Something about cereal has always made it a special treat. It has been a very long time since I have eaten cereal for breakfast with any regularity, and even then I preferred it as a midnight snack. It belongs at lunchtime when nothing else sounds good, at dinner when you’ve had a day in sweats [...]
Yeah, I’m kindof in pumpkin mode. If I make enough of it, maybe it’ll trick the seasons and we can skip ahead to fall already. Plus, why is it that a can of pumpkin has like 2 cups of it, but these recipes only call for weird amounts, like 2/3 cup? Needless to say, we [...]
There are two reasons I don’t make french toast. One- because it seems like it wipes out a whole loaf of bread in one sitting. I’m not sure why this registers in my brain as different than sandwiches for lunch, but it does. Maybe it has something to do with sandwiches being easy. I’m okay [...]
Saturday mornings are for pancakes and waffles. In spite of their many variations- bananas, walnuts, blueberries, sweet, savory, strawberries, nut butter, syrup, honey, coconut oil- it turns out, one pretty basic feature of both pancakes and waffles is flour. Who knew. Now, lest you think I live under a gluten-filled rock, I am aware that [...]
I’ve gone a little bit bulk-crazy. As soon as we recoup from the move-the-water-heater fiasco, I will have enough for my first Azure Standard bulk foods order- and what an order it will be. If all shows up, it will be six months worth of food. Actually, I’m so crazy about trying to keep things [...]
