(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
Posted in $$, easy, gluten free, quick, sides, snacks, vegan, vegetarian on October 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
Red, Orange and Yellow Fruit Salad

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 [...]
Two Lentil Soup

When the weather is dreary (as it now is) there is no food I like better than soup. Lentil soup is one of my favorites. I whipped this one up last night as an alternative to my usual curried lentil soup. It would be great topped with a little shredded Parmesan, but I didn’t have [...]
Balsamic Chicken

Last night I made this to go with caesar salad. It really hit the spot. Since we finished the salad, I used the leftovers to make chicken salad. I didn’t measure anything, so these are approximate quantities of ingredients. 1 lb chicken (I used breast meat, but you could use another type) 1/3 c balsamic [...]
Sweet Potato Hash Browns

Sweet potatoes are available to us at our farmer’s market year round, so we were eating a lot of them through the winter. This continues to be one of our favorite ways to prepare them. The hash is great on its own or makes a good side to eggs. It takes a little while to [...]
Paneer – the easiest cheese ever
Posted in $, easy, gluten free, quick, sides, snacks, vegetarian on April 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This is a quick and simple recipe. The cheese that it makes is mild and almost like a very firm tofu. If you wanted to make it more flavored, you could add herbs or spices in around step 2. It is good in recipes, but also by itself or with bread. It makes a block [...]
