So…the original recipe for the Vegan Coconut Butter is titled “coconut margarine.” I don’t want to call it that because the word conjures up bad images of the toast of my childhood. This ain’t even close to margarine. It melts on your tongue–just like dairy butter, only with an ever-so-slight coconut flavor. I can’t remember […]
Wilted Arugula Salad
Can we just talk about how much I love arugula? SO much. Can we also talk about how excited I was to get a bag of arugula with my CSA share last week? Even more. Happy, happy, happy. For once I decided to forgo the sun-dried tomatoes and white beans I usually eat with arugula. […]
Have You Tried: Arugula
I really love arugula, so when my CSA share came with a bag of two different kinds, I was ecstatic. I planted some in my garden, but it’s still very tiny. I’ve been craving arugula all winter long. If you haven’t tried arugula, you’re in for a treat. It’s incredibly flavorful–kind of peppery, but distinct. […]
Orange Miso Vinaigrette
One ingredient that I see over and over again in my vegan cookbooks is miso. As a kid I hated miso with a passion. Could not stand it. We had a Japanese girl living with us for a year and she would often make miso broth. I tried it several times, but never could enjoy […]
Tiny Toes and Tiny Kitchen Memories.
This is one of my very favorite pictures. I took it when my oldest was not even two years old. The sun was streaming through the window into the kitchen of our 2nd floor apartment in the NYC suburbs. She was enjoying breakfast, if I remember correctly. Probably oatmeal with blueberries. The crazy chair is […]
Blueberry Lavender Ice Cream
{This is from the archives with newly edited pics. Perfect for Spring and Summer, don’t you think?} I miss the blueberries we picked on the East Coast. It was so magical for my little girl to run through the bushes and pick off the sweet blue globes and drop them into her bucket. She loved […]
Pan Roasted Green Beans with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
Are you loving Spring in your area? I feel like I’m enjoying the Spring of all Springs this year. The kind I remember from when I was a little girl. I planted most of my garden a few weeks ago and now I’m waiting patiently for the seedlings to emerge. I planted bush and pole […]
Vegetable Garden at Colonial Williamsburg
Did you miss me last week? I went on a last minute trip to Williamsburg, Virginia and it was soooo much fun. I’ve always wanted to visit Colonial Williamsburg, but we never made it down there when we lived on the East Coast. Candace and I were walking down the street and I saw this […]
