Knarley Barley is our take on beans and greens. In some variation or another, we probably eat this weekly. We’ve always got some sort of beans in the freezer and greens in the fridge. Chopped tomatoes are a pantry item always on hand, as with the rest of the ingredients. It’s absolutely my go to…
Sprouting
I planted these sprouts on Friday. I decided to use soil instead of my sprouting jar. Just for fun. It’s working really well. They’re over an inch tall already. I can literally sit here and watch them grow! I’ll let them go for a few more days and have a delicious sprout salad. These sprouts…
Spicy Black Bean Burgers
I told my boyfriend I needed some text for this recipe, so this is what he wrote about this meal:
Black Bean Quinoa Salad
I asked my boyfriend for some text because he was strutting around after I used some text in another blog post. He happily obliged me. He spoils me rotten:
Ratatouille Pasta
Steve decided he was going to make me a special dinner this past Sunday because I did well on a recent test. Not just any test, but a test that is the beginning of the next phase of my life, which includes going back to school. So, it’s a big deal. Anyway, he was being…
Texturized Soy Protein + Basic Marinade
Texturized Soy Protein (TSP) can be a daunting ingredient to work with. I’ve had a bag in my cabinet for about a year now, waiting for the perfect use to present itself to me. Don’t get me wrong, I like using TSP. I’m inspired to use TSP. I have ideas for using TSP. But I’ve…
Watermelon Limeade
What do you drink when you’ve been in a heatwave for several days and just don’t want another glass of water? That’s right, a nice icy, sweet, tart glass of watermelon limeade. I’ve been craving this lately so I thought today was the day. This is super easy and since watermelon is in season, pretty…
Greek Salad with Farro and Marinated Tofu
I just love all of the flavors in a Greek salad. The crisp sweetness of the peppers, cucumbers, red onion and tomatoes as well as the tangy, salty olives and creamy feta cheese are a joy for the taste buds. Not to mention the deliciousness of a good garlicky, lemony Greek dressing with fresh oregano….
A Visit to the Farm
This past weekend we piled into the car for a journey to Lawrence Farms Orchard to pick our own strawberries, snap peas and greens! I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile and though it was a long drive, it was an awesome experience. Connecting with where your food actually comes from is so important…
Curried Tofu Scramble
I’ve only recently started eating my tofu scrambled. Until a few months ago I would just cook up some eggs for breakfast on the weekend. Eggs were one of the two things that I thought I would never be able to give up in order to become a plant-based eater (the other was real butter)….
