The unabbreviated title of this dish might be “Vegan, Gluten & Soy Free Penne Rosé with Mushrooms, Cauliflower & Chard”. For me, it is the pinnacle of comfort food. I am eating it as I write and it is deeeeelicious. About two years ago, I deduced that I am allergic to most soy products. PriorContinue reading “Penne Rosé”

Burger Lounge in San Diego
I feel like Burger Lounge was thinking of me when they came up with a soy free veggie burger on a lettuce “bun”. It’s actually a quinoa, sweet potato, cheese blend…very tasty. There are several locations, too, so if you are out with your carnivore friends everyone can eat happily here. I recommend asking forContinue reading “Burger Lounge in San Diego”
Kelewele
When it comes to vegetarian food in Ghana and West Africa, I’m your girl. I have spent about 4 years (cumulatively) in Ghana in the past 10 years. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer there for 2 1/2 years, and while there I forged lasting relationships with many people. After I finished my service, IContinue reading “Kelewele”
Gluten Free Corn Bread
It seems like corn bread recipes are a dime a dozen in the blogosphere. Here’s mine, for all it’s worth. I have made quite a few of the corn bread recipes out there, never feeling quite satisfied with the results. So I tweaked and tailored until I got this winner. I really like the wayContinue reading “Gluten Free Corn Bread”
Green Lemonade
While I am on the subject of ‘getting your greens’, here is a drink that feels and tastes like an elixir for youth and vitality. The recipe belongs to Natalia Rose, author of “The Raw Food Detox Diet“. This book is a great introductory read into the whys and hows of the raw food diet.Continue reading “Green Lemonade”
Viva La Green Smoothie!
There are a lot of blogs out there dedicated to the benefits of green smoothies, with good reason. Imagine eating the equivalent of an entire salad, with a whole head of lettuce or kale or spinach or chard along with the juice of 4 oranges, and a basket of strawberries and a whole mango inContinue reading “Viva La Green Smoothie!”
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
I have had requests from a couple of bachelor/college-student friends for easy recipes that they can make. I think my grasp of “easy” in the kitchen is distorted due to the fact that I think that everything is easy…some things just take more time than others! I also realize that they were probably askingContinue reading “Chocolate Dipped Strawberries”
Baja Style Veggie Tacos
When we were in Baja with friends last year, we stopped for tacos in San Felipe one afternoon. Angie and Chris enjoyed the house specialty: fish fried in a delicate, crispy golden batter with the usual accoutrements: fresh radishes, salsa, slices of avocado, and crema on a corn tortilla. Ryan turned to me and said,Continue reading “Baja Style Veggie Tacos”
GF Carrot Cupcakes
I know you’ve all been making almond milk…and you just don’t know what to do with all that pulp! Here is another recipe for you. (If you don’t have surplus pulp, I suppose you could still make these all the same.) These carrot cupcakes are moist, fluffy and soft. I used this recipe as aContinue reading “GF Carrot Cupcakes”
Creamy Hemp Seed Salad Dressing
I’d like to tell those of you who don’t already know, about the wonders of hemp seeds. This super-food has amazing qualities both culinary and health-wise. When consumed raw, hemp seeds are a healthy dose of essential fatty acids, omega-3s, and antioxidants. We like to sprinkle them on salads, omelets, and dips. They can beContinue reading “Creamy Hemp Seed Salad Dressing”
