delicious seasonal eats
You may remember earlier in the year when I teamed up with award winning Natalie’s Orchid Island Company to create a new recipe using one of their amazing juices. This time using their newest squeezed fresh juice – tomato! And we’re making Tomato Juice Dressing and Vinaigrette 3 Ways. That’s three delicious, refreshing, flavor ways to perk […]
As promised, the recipe for the Layered Greek-Style Chickpea Salad. Truly, I haven’t met a chickpea salad I haven’t loved. But this one is the best I’ve ever made. I attribute that to all the goodies layered in the bowl with the chickpeas. Aren’t the layers pretty? It makes it look a little more special, […]
Meyer lemons are the hybrid of mandarin oranges and true lemons. Also, they are my favorite citrus fruit. I look forward to these sweet lemons all year long and buy them almost by the bushel. They make the best lemon curd ice cream. Really good (and slightly extravagant) lemonade. And the base for my favorite […]
Yesterday I ran up to La Nay Ferme before I took my youngest to her fabulous art class to pick up my pot of broccoli microgreens. I really, really, really love microgreens and broccoli microgreens are so good. I thought about how I wanted to use them for my lunch yesterday. It had been awhile […]
Salad is my favorite food, I think. I eat salad almost every single day. I even wrote a salad guide on Make and Takes a few years ago. I like to think I’m somewhat of an expert, you see. Salads are one of the best ways to fit in all your leafy greens, and as […]
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. […]
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 […]
I’m ready for Spring. Anyone with me? The past week has been a foggy blur of fevers and coughing so hard I wet my pants too many times to count. It snowed and was downright dreary. I spent the days trying to sneak a nap in where I could. Then my husband picked up some […]
I don’t know what to write about this salad other than it’s probably the prettiest salad I’ve ever made, and definitely one of the tastiest. I get these cravings for something light and summery. The stews and soups are nourishing, but can be heavy. With all of the citrus I’ve been stocking up on, I […]
Around some circles, I have the reputation for throwing together a tasty salad. Oh, yes. I do make good salad. I even wrote a post about it awhile back. Listen, if you are trying to switch to a healthier diet replete with veggies and fruit, salad is an easy way to do it. You don’t […]
