Just in time for St. Patrick’s day, colcannon is a traditional Irish dish made by mashing potatoes and mixing in cabbage or other greens. When I was growing up, my parents used to make colcannon, or my dad would sometimes call it ‘thump’ (a Scottish variation), with whatever greens we had around. Usually, this was […]

New Workout & Banana Cinnamon Chia Pudding
This morning after Eric left for work, I buckled down and tried a new workout. I’ve not been making it to the gym with the teaching schedule and everything else and have been feeling quite lazy and in need of exercise. I’ve been trying to figure out a workout that I can do quickly and […]
Peanut Butter Heaven Sandwich (or Katie’s First Date)
I really don’t know what else to call this sandwich other than to tell you it’s a little bit of heaven. I used to get a version of this sandwich at a little cafe called Molly’s in the basement of the Henry Art Gallery at the UW. There, it was called “Molly’s First Date”. I […]
Veganized Girl Scout Cookies
I’m sorry for the long delay between posts. I’ve been in NYC for a conference for the past week and just got back to Seattle late last night. Off to another conference for a long weekend. And then back to normal soon. Whew! Lots of report on from New York travels, academic stuff, and good […]
Hunkering Down w/ Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
The past week or so has been intense with school and work, etc. Eric went back to work last Monday and it’s been a kind of major adjustment for both us having him back to work. Teaching has been so great–the students are wonderful and thoughtful and they say things like “I don’t ever want […]
Flatbread with Tapenade & Vegetables
It’s been incredibly busy lately and I’ve been incredibly lazy when it comes to cooking dinner. We’ve been eating out a lot lately, but Eric started back to work on Monday and I decided to make a nice dinner for when he got home on Monday night (and by nice, I mean actually cooking something). […]
Cilantro-Jalapeno Roasted Garlic Hummus
This past fall, when my friend Tish and I were crafting together each week, we would periodically stop at Trader Joe’s for snacks before heading to our house to get started crafting. Tish turned me on to the most delicious hummus from Trader Joe’s–it’s their hummus with cilantro and jalapenos. Eric and I rarely go […]
Roasted Cauliflower
This is the simplest recipe and it is amazing how delicious it is. It is almost buttery, full of good cauliflower flavor, and an excellent side dish to eat with just about anything. The flavor is neutral enough that it pairs well with just about any cuisine. But don’t let that fool you; it definitely […]
Breakfast Quinoa
Almost every morning I have oatmeal for breakfast. Lately I’ve been getting steel cut oats and cooking a pot that will last for two or three days. I cook them up plain and then add chopped nuts and fruit depending on my mood. This week, we ran out of oats and yesterday I woke up […]
Weekend Recap and Berry Green Smoothie
This weekend was filled with highs and lows. The highs were amazingly good–Eric was offered a year-long contract for an awesome job (yay for employment!), there was good news at Pigs Peace on Saturday–Judee the pig is making a remarkable recovery, and we got to spend all day Sunday with my dear friend Theresa, who was visiting from Spokane. We went to Cafe Flora […]
