I’ve been easing back into the raw vegetable eating after having some pretty harsh, unexplained stomach issues over winter break. The raw veggies were just too hard on my digestive system, oddly, and I’ve been somewhat tentative about what I’m eating these days. I’m finally starting to feel like myself again and have been craving greens […]

Grilled Artichoke Melt Sandwich
One of my favorite things to eat these days is the artichoke melt sandwich at Chaco Canyon Cafe in Seattle. It’s a hot sandwich with artichoke spread, cashew cheese, veganaise and topped with sprouts and cucumber. Lately, I’ve been pulling out the sandwich press at home and making grilled sandwiches that are a variation on this. You do […]
Homemade Granola
The other day, Eric picked up an oat from the counter, ate it, and exclaimed, “I just found a yummy, cinnamony piece of oat on the counter!” “Oh!” I said, “I forgot! I made granola today!” It was so easy and low-impact a process I had forgotten all about it. This granola recipe is adapted from my […]
Banana Pancakes
Mornin’! And happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day for those in the US of A. This morning, Eric is home from work and we are waiting on a dryer repair person to arrive (our dryer finally kicked it and we’re hoping it will be able to be repaired). Clothes just don’t line-dry so well in […]
Biscuits and Gravy
If you were gearing up to have a Celiac’s test, what would you eat to make sure you were getting a fair amount of gluten leading up to the test? I would eat (and did!) biscuits and gravy. When I was a kid, my dad was the king of biscuit making. He’d just roll out […]
Rajma (Indian Kidney Bean Stew)
I hope you all had good holidays! I’m coming off of several very relaxing, restorative days and now I’m trying to get back into the rhythm of getting work done. I have to write a chapter of my dissertation in the next three weeks (no small feat) so that I can workshop it with our animal studies […]
Pumpkin Cranberry Bread
I hope you didn’t miss the post about Saoirse and Maizy playing together yesterday–that was a fun post to write! Okay, so I’m not only eating cranberry things these days. Really! It just seems to be what foods are making it on the blog lately. Some savory recipes as soon as the teaching quarter is […]
Ode to the Cranberry
Cranberries are one of those foods that I see and I just want to grab a handful and start eating. Big mistake. On their own, these little buggers are bitter as hell and not very tasty. I used to spend a great deal of time looking for farm real estate (our dream is to move […]
Cranberry Applesauce
I got hit with a major cold the day after Thanksgiving. Honestly, I started feeling a little under the weather on Wednesday night, but chalked it up to being over-tired and needing a good night’s sleep and a long weekend away from school and work. On Thursday, the flurry of preparing to host vegan Thanksgiving […]
Thanksgiving Recipe Roundup
It’s already that time of year again…coming into Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving can be a stressful time for vegans (and new vegans especially). For one, it is incredibly depressing to think about the 46 million turkeys slaughtered each year in the United States for Thanksgiving day alone. That is a lot of individual lives taken for one […]
