Vegan Pumpkin Zucchini Bread

23 Aug 2010

We’re getting really itchy for fall around here. We’re ready for the garden to die. We’re really ready for the lawn to go dormant and I’m craving tailgates and warm rummy apple cider. We’re still enjoying fruits and veggies, but I’ve been dying for a reason to use the canned pumpkin that’s leftover from last [...]

Asian Plum Sauce Stir Fry

In: Food| Vegan| Vegetarian| organic

16 Aug 2010

We have just a few homegrown plums left of the four boxes we started with. The other night, in a fit of divine experimentation, we made the most incredible ginger plum sauce. It was so good we couldn’t help but make a stir fry. It was incredible. Salty, sweet, and beautifully hinted with fruit, we [...]

Review: The Art of Simple Food by Alice Waters

15 Jul 2010

I have an unwritten rule about cookbooks. I don’t buy them if there are no pictures. It may seem childish, but I typically like to see what I’m cooking, mostly to know if I myself am failing the recipe. Few chefs get a pass at this rule. Alice Waters is one of them. If you’re [...]

Vegan Chocolate Zucchini Cake…Tart?

In: Food| Kitchen| Vegan

7 Jul 2010

As I mentioned earlier today, I scored a massive zucchini from one of our research farms (I’m a web developer for a Plant Sciences department). I’ve never seen such a huge zucchini, have you? With Neil and I already being sparse eaters, and Neil hating the taste of zucchini on its own (brat!), I had [...]

Can There Ever Be Too Many Stir Fries? Cabbage and Leek Stir Fry

28 Jun 2010

We arrived home late last night after a whirlwind sprint to Minnesota and back for my cousin Nate’s wedding to our new Sarah (we now have 3 Sarah’s in the family). We spent the weekend dodging insane weather, including 2 tornadoes and a host of warnings and hail predictions. I’m so happy to be home, [...]

17 Jun 2010

If you’ve been watching Neil’s Twitter for the past week, you’ll notice that 98% of his tweets are about the World Cup. He’s been waiting for two years, and now that it’s on, whatever free moments he has have been spent glued to the games online. For my part, I thought it’d be cool to [...]

One of those weeks…

9 Jun 2010

We’re having one of those weeks. Have you had any of these recently? The kind where every minute is filled with at least ten things and you need 5 lists just to keep yourself on track? In addition to preparations for Steve and Anja’s wedding this weekend, we’ve been busy with freelance clients, my first [...]

Oregano and Basil Pesto with Walnuts (and you can preserve it too!)

In: Food| Kitchen| Vegan| Vegetarian

27 May 2010

I remember vividly the first time I had pesto. I was eleven and my friend’s mother prepared it for dinner at a sleepover. They were different than other parents in our neighborhood. They had a wine cellar and a tangine and regularly attended the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra. The pesto was from the cities, and came [...]

“Anytime is Good” Sangria

7 May 2010

I know what your’e thinking, “couple days late much?” Yes. We should have been a good foodies and actually made this before Cinco De Mayo but alas, sometimes spontaneity is good for you and furthermore, isn’t sangria good for just about anytime?
Growing up, Sangria always sounded dangerous, mildly illusive and to be honest a little [...]

Lemon, Artichoke, and Olive Pasta

In: Food| Kitchen| Vegan| Vegetarian

20 Apr 2010

If there was a sauce war, I would definitely find myself in the lemon cream sauce camp. Nothing is more fresh than citrus, and nothing in citrus is more fresh than lemon. Unfortunately on Sunday night I was without cream to make the sauce for this pasta, so I improvised with something light and sweet [...]
