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 […]

Turmeric Detox Drink
I’ve mentioned before that Remedy Teas is one of my all-time favorite spots for tea, lunch, toast and general hanging out. Well, it still is! And one of my favorite things on their menu is their TNT Detox drink. It’s made with turmeric, lemon, ginger, and cayenne and it’s very spicy and delicious. You can order it […]
Smoky Spiced Lentils and Rice
Happy Friday! I don’t know about you all, but it’s been a long, tiring week and I’m looking forward to the weekend. If you’re feeling a little weary, like I am, this is a great comforting and nourishing dish that is packed with flavor and so easy to make. Plus, the cooking time is 50 minutes, which […]
Adventures in Tandoori Roasted Cauliflower
First, thank you so much to all who voted for Pigs Peace. They will be awarded $10,000 thanks to all of your votes. Woohoo! Secondly, I woke up yesterday morning and this recipe popped up in my Google Reader as I was eating breakfast—Whole Roasted Tandoori Cauliflower with Mint Chutney and I was like, wait… WHAT?! I […]
Awesome Arugula Salad
The salad that went along with yesterday’s soup is a little crazy how good it is, considering how easy it is to make. Trying to recreate the nectarine soup and this salad was a fun challenge. I really had no idea how they were made, but in the end I think both recipes really get the […]
Roasted Nectarine Coconut Soup with Cardamom
When my mom was here visiting, she took us out for an absolutely amazing meal at Sutra in Wallingford. I’ve blogged about Sutra before. This, though, was by far the tastiest meal we’ve had there to date. The first course was a cardamom grilled nectarine coconut soup with an arugula salad on the side. Oh man, was […]
Cucumber Tomato Summer Salad
I’ve been a wee bit obsessed with this salad for the past couple of weeks. And by obsessed, I mean I’ve been making it every day (sometimes twice). This salad tastes like summer to me, probably because I grew up eating a variation of this (though the version we ate had mayonnaise instead of vinegar). We’ve had a […]
Cucumber Tea Sandwiches
This recipe should have gone up after the baby shower post, but I hadn’t recorded the proportions and so I had to wait till I recreated these to get the exact recipe. We were left with massive quantities of leftovers after the baby shower and I spent two days afterward eating nothing but cucumber sandwiches. […]
Summer Curry
We have had an abundance of zucchini from our garden over the past month. And by abundance, I mean a bumper crop that just keeps on coming. Every day for weeks we’ve been getting 1-3 big zucchinis. We’ve been giving them away right and left, eating them ourselves, giving Maizy lots in her meals…I even […]
Raw Beet Salad with Sesame-Ginger Dressing
I bought some beets a couple of weeks ago at the farmers market and then promptly forgot about them. This morning, I was digging around in the fridge and found them! I whipped up this little on-the-fly salad/slaw with what I had around and it turned out great! The flavors are bright and earthy with […]
