(image from here) Cranberries might just be my favorite fruit. While it’s hard to beat the warm sultry sweetness of a ripe peach in the middle of summer, something about the crisp tartness of the cranberry really makes me happy. I will eat them in almost anything. Beyond muffins with orange zest, cranberries are fantastic [...]

Indian-esque Baked Tofu

I started making this when I worked at Brighter Day in Savannah. They make a number of different variations in the deli (as well as a multitude of other tasty things) which I have adopted at home. The thing I like about baked tofu is the way that it firms up. It isn’t at all [...]

I have decided to change the format of my other blog (ameliaroberts.wordpress.com) to include a recipe column on fridays. As a result, I’m not sure how much I will be posting here from now on. Today, over at my personal blog, I posted my recipe for granola (‘nola) bars. They are pretty delicious. Keep checking [...]
Warm Chickpea Salad

Chickpeas are probably my favorite bean. Although it’s hard for me to play favorites. I threw this together tonight for a potluck. I had planned to make a Sardianian chickpea salad that I had saved the recipe for, but I was in a rush and didn’t want to start up my computer to find it. [...]
Peanut Butter Coconut Delight Cookies

So, I have been baking a lot lately. If there was a graph to show how much cooking vs. baking lately, the baking bar would be taller. By a lot. I came up with this recipe one night a few weeks ago in a “what would happen if…” kind of mood… and I declared them [...]
Oatmeal Chocolate Pecan Cookies
Posted in $, easy, not TOO hard, snacks, sweets, vegetarian on June 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
These are the best cookies I’ve ever made. They’re not cakey and not overly sweet. My roommate claimed that they were a sexy cookie because they are a gooey, warm, chocolaty mouthful when fresh out of the oven. I took the base recipe from Sherry Yard’s “Secrets of Baking” and then tweaked it a bit. [...]
Carrot Salad

This vibrant and delicious dish is great for summer. It’s also mostly raw. There was an original recipe at one time, in an Asian cookbook of my mom’s, but this version is mine. It went over well at a recent potluck – no left overs (but I wished I had some.) 1/2 c orange juice [...]

I love a good, fresh, fruit salad. I like to make it in the morning to have for breakfast, then bring some to the beach (or work) with me, then have some when I get home, then have some after dinner… you get the idea. Since I’m not the only one in my household who [...]
Two Ways to Make Fruit Smoothies

I never used to be a big smoothie person. Then, last spring/ summer happened. In the deli where I worked, smoothies were part of the menu. Inevitably, after making them, there were the occasional left overs and I drank them so that the last drips wouldn’t go to waste (and so I knew what the [...]
Mixed Fruit Crumble

The recipe for this crumble is based on the apple crisp recipe from the Moosewood Cookbook, but I embellished it a lot using the mix of fruit we had in the house. A lot of that was frozen from last summer. This is a great dish for breakfast or dessert. 1 ripe peach 3 handfuls [...]
