Today we have a guest post from my friend Karen for her awesome vegan ‘egg’ salad sandwich. She made this delightful lunch last week for our weekly date. She has written a lovely preface for the recipe. Thanks, Karen! Katie and I have been getting together weekly, which has been a wonderful treat for me. She’s […]

Handmade Corn Tortillas
When my mom and I were in Baltimore visiting my sister, Lucy made enchiladas with handmade corn tortillas. I’ll be posting a recreation of the recipe for the enchiladas soon, but in the meantime, here is the corn tortilla recipe. I make corn tortillas in phases–meaning I make them a bunch of times in a […]
Cold Sesame Noodles
This is a recipe from my mom, Anne, who made these a lot when we were growing up. This is a very simple recipe. The dish is served cold and would be a great addition as a main or side to a summer meal. The noodles you want to use might say something like “Japanese Style Noodles” or […]
Egyptian Red Lentil Stew
I’m in Pittsburgh visiting my family. My mom and I made a delicious dinner last night–red lentil stew, farro salad, and roasted asparagus. I can’t wait to share the amazing farro salad recipe from my mom with you, but for now here is the red lentil stew, which is one of Eric’s and my favorite go-to meals […]
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
We’re coming up on strawberry season and there are few foods that are as enticing or as pretty as chocolate covered strawberries. We dipped about 75 strawberries for the vegan baby shower we just hosted and they were a hit. The best thing about chocolate covered strawberries is that they are extremely EASY to make. The only […]
Vegan Raspberry & Apricot Thumbprint Cookies
Stop what you’re doing and go make these now! Seriously. Okay, maybe finish reading the recipe and THEN go make these. I couldn’t even let the last batch cool completely before I had to jump on the computer and post this recipe so that you would not have to suffer another day without these cookies, […]
Lemon-Ginger-Cayenne Cold Remedy
Sorry for the silence yesterday. I woke up feeling under the weather–some weird sinus/sore throat combo. Yesterday was the day I had designated to write my next review for Our Hen House and I didn’t have the stamina to be at the computer long enough to do that, get my work for the journal done (a.k.a. […]
Curried Quinoa Salad with Ginger-Lime Dressing
It’s a greyish, dark kind of morning at the moment and I’m sitting here in the almost-dark at my computer. The glow of the screen is the brightest thing in the room. Thank goodness on this dark, dreary morning (perfect for going back to bed) we have another guest recipe post from Passover that is […]
Tzimmes (Stewed Root Vegetables & Fruit)
Yesterday, in the Passover Seder 2012 recap, I promised to post a recipe from Ruth (Eric’s mom) for Passover today. This dish is called tzimmes and it’s a traditional Jewish dish often eaten at Passover and Rosh Hashanah. It is usually composed of root vegetables and dried fruit with orange juice and spices. This version is […]
Cornmeal Waffles with Cinnamon Peaches
Okay, I know. Three recipes in a row. Crazy! And they’re a bit all over the place–vegetable pot pie one day, roasted beet and orange salad the next, and now waffles…It’s like breakfast, lunch and dinner in reverse order. These waffles are inspired by the cornmeal waffles at Cafe Flora’s brunch. Cafe Flora tops them with different delicious […]
