(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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

Grilled Marinated Mushrooms
Posted in $$, easy, sides, vegan, vegetarian on April 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This is one of the gateway recipes that convinced me that mushrooms aren’t so bad, and could even be good. Since then, they have become a staple for cookouts at our house. This marinade is very similar to the one for balsamic chicken. 1-2 c portabella or crimini mushrooms 1/2 c balsamic vinager 1/4 c [...]
Spinach & Chick Pea Penne

I probably ate this three times a week when I was living by myself for a summer. Amazingly, I am not sick of it. It’s a good mix of veggies, grains and beans and goes well with a salad. It also keeps pretty well for leftovers. This recipe should be about 4-6 servings. 1 box [...]
