(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 [...]
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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

This is my favorite lasagna. And lasagna is one of my very favorite foods. I will eat the leftovers for days, for every single meal, until I am scraping the last little bite of noodle out of the corner of the pan with my fork. This particular lasagna is also a great way to trick [...]

In honor of my new job as a landscaper -and all other things that just take it out of you- I have a recipe for trail mix. I made it yesterday, to bring with me to work today, and I kept munching on it until I finally had to just pack it away. It’s good. [...]
