If granola is the veg*n mascot, hummus is the quarterback of the team. We all love granola, in doses, and it’s cute that we are called “crunchy granola types” just because we don’t do Big Macs. But when we get away from cute and start talking about the real stars that get us through, it’s [...]
It’s been awhile since we’ve had a home-run recipe. Hubby and I have really enjoyed some, like Deviled Eggs and Brown Rice Pilaf, but the boys are kind of struggling with us trying so many new things. I should probably cycle them through more, but I’m nearing the end of the cookbook and my patience [...]
This is another recipe I remember making way back in the day when I borrowed my first copy of The Vegetarian Mother’s Cookbook. We were going to Passover, potluck style. They went over okay, but I left off the paprika. Apparently, that’s not okay. These have paprika, and although I did use mayo instead of [...]
Although I’m supposed to be back to eliminating dairy, corn and eggs to do a proper trial on them and figure out what is still making us react, I had this cream cheese in there..and pumpkin..and I just couldn’t let it go to waste. Really. The plan had been to make it over the weekend, [...]
When the boys were toddling and bouncing all over the house, alternating between ecstatic at some great new noise they could make or completely devastated that life was so hard (you know, like trying to pick up all three of those blocks at one time or going a whole four hours without a nap cos [...]
Hubby has been eating a restricted diet, as well, and between the two of us, we are just dying for some legumes. Seriously- how many times have I talked about burritos in the last couple of weeks? Before we both lost our minds, we took a break. Yeah, yeah, I have taken lots of breaks. [...]
I haven’t quite been able to figure it out yet, but while I absolutely detest shopping, thrifting is another story altogether. I’ve heard it described as the hunter/gatherer instinct kicking in. Maybe that is the difference. Thrifting is hunter/gathering, and regular shopping is more like an overpriced buffet. Not only is there the adrenaline rush [...]
It’s pretty much a given that corn causes a reaction for me. Sigh. I really never cease to be amazed at what all corn/corn derivatives can be found in. Salt. I found dextrose in salt. Seriously?! Popcorn is no secret, though..it’s pretty much just corn. And we happen to love popcorn around here. We love [...]
Sometimes, it’s just a brownies kind of day. Or week. It’s even better when you can justify it with a post for my poor, neglected blog. It was all for the blog. The things I do for you guys… The recipe wasn’t the brownies. Although there are carob brownies in the cookbook, I erm…have no [...]
Yeeeah, I am pretty sure that this is what will finally motivate me to buy more coconut oil. I’m terrible about stalling, but the thought of these with a light coconut flavor…man, oh, man. It might also motivate me to cook again after baby comes. There is something very different about making dinner and making [...]
