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
Posted in $, easy, entrees, gluten free, one pan/ pot, quick, salads, sides, vegan, vegetarian on July 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]

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 [...]
May Salad

This is a pretty basic salad with ingredients taken entirely from the farmer’s market (except the olive oil and mustard.) It’s been too warm this weekend to eat anything but salad really. 1/2 lb of spinach heaping handful chopped parsley 3 tbsp chopped cilantro 1 cucumber, chopped 6 carrots, grated as much feta cheese as [...]
The Best Coffee (in my compeletely biased opinion)
Posted in easy, one pan/ pot, quick, to drink, vegetarian on May 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This is my coffee pot, and I love it. I reserved space for it in my camping backpack (which is what I packed to travel back up north) because I didn’t want to spend the summer without it. It makes the most delicious, rich coffee, that I usually make dark and drink black. Or with [...]
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 [...]
Pan Con Tomate

Last weekend, Matt and I were in DC and we went to a great tapas restaurant with his family. As we were eating, I kept asking myself why I don’t cook Spanish food more often. I don’t know the answer to that, but I think I am going to start. While I was studying abroad [...]
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 [...]
