poha deluxe

Hi there…how are you? Me, I’m great. Have been forgoing the joy of blogging about food and am starting to realize the error in my ways. I eat amazing vegetarian food every single day here in India. One of my ‘justifications’ is that millions of others do too, and there are about a bajillion IndianContinue reading “poha deluxe”

fingerling potato salad, turkish style

  Today, I had a lovely, relaxing day. I accidentally stumbled into the Goleta farmer’s market this morning, on our last day here on this visit. In addition to some stellar stone fruits and strawberries, I picked up a couple pounds of fingerling potatoes, dreaming of a bright, flavorful Turkish style potato salad featuring oliveContinue reading “fingerling potato salad, turkish style”

chocolate raspberry cupcakes, and a new mosaic

I’ve been in Goleta, CA near Santa Barbara for the past week installing a mosaic walkway for Ryan’s sister and her beau at their house. It’s gorgeous here, just up the road from a butterfly sanctuary, meadow, and a bluffy, beautiful beach. Look up and you’ll be sure to spot a flock of pelicans inContinue reading “chocolate raspberry cupcakes, and a new mosaic”

savory basil, tomato & zucchini muffins (gf)

  Hi there! Has it really been over two weeks since I last checked in? I guess I needed a vacation from the land of blogging. No, I’m not throwing in the towel. Just trying to figure out a way to keep this sustainable and interesting (to me and you) for the long haul. SometimesContinue reading “savory basil, tomato & zucchini muffins (gf)”

gf almond doughnuts

This post is dedicated to the hard work of other amazing food bloggers. I love the vibrant, prolific exchange of creative energy and knowledge that is happening out there in cyberspace. I love being a small part of it, as well. When I saw this recipe, I had Ryan order me a silicone mini doughnutContinue reading “gf almond doughnuts”

lemon rice with beet curry

This is a tasty combination we enjoyed recently, when I had a fridge drawer full of beets and a hankering for an aromatic, flavored rice dish. Remembering that lemons and beets pair nicely, I decided it would be worth a try. It was, combining complex flavors in a simple recipe. You’ve gotta love those IndianContinue reading “lemon rice with beet curry”

playing with idli

One of my first posts on the veggie voyager was for a South Indian staple called idli. I have since mentioned idli multiple times, as it is a traditionally gluten free food that is easy to digest and a tasty vehicle for sauces, chutneys and other delicious dishes (usually Indian, I suppose). A few monthsContinue reading “playing with idli”

gluten free chia-flax-rice roti

While in India, every time I had a wheat based dish I’d start thinking about how when I got back to San Diego that I’d make a gluten free version of whatever I was eating. I had all kinds of ideas. I still do, so stay tuned for veggie voyager versions of all kinds ofContinue reading “gluten free chia-flax-rice roti”

vegan pesto with pepitas

I have to say, San Diego is full of hidden gems. It’s good to be home for a while. This past weekend, as Ryan was finishing out the 10 day master cleanse, my mom and I found ourselves poking around in the corridors of a restaurant supply store, shopping for rice noodles and fresh coconutContinue reading “vegan pesto with pepitas”

zoodles with mushroomballs

I know you regular readers were expecting an all green recipe (I did say maybe). Sorry, you’ll have to wait. And I would hardly classify these mushroom-balls as “cleansing”, but this meal is fresh, light and filling. I haven’t quite gotten rolling on any official cleanse yet. I’m still working on that one…it might happen.Continue reading “zoodles with mushroomballs”
