It’s been a while since I posted the ‘dehydrated yam treats for dogs’ recipe and I thought I would spice up Maizy’s food repertoire with a new kind of treat. I just used what I had in the house and improvised and they turned out pretty nicely! I wanted to make a cookie-type treat without using wheat. Wheat […]

Field Roast and Kale
I suppose you can tell by now that I am a huge fan of kale. We always have at least two bunches of kale in fridge at all times and I throw it in everything. Looking back at the non-dessert recipes I’ve posted, they almost all include kale. Who knows, maybe I’ll find a way […]
Chanterelle Mushroom & Kale Risotto
Earlier this week, I stopped at MacPherson’s vegetable stand and was delighted to find that chanterelle mushrooms have come into season. Chanterelles have a unique, light, buttery flavor and a great smooth consistency. Chanterelles are found in mossy coniferous forests and are gathered by mushroom foragers and then sold to local produce retailers. The folks at MacPherson’s […]
Not-Chicken Noodle Soup
Chickens were one of the first animals we stopped eating when Eric and I decided to transition to a vegetarian (and eventually vegan) lifestyle. It made sense; we had chickens living in our backyard and so our personal connection to these animals was much more tangible than to other farmed animals. Quickly this transitioned to […]
Polenta with Mushrooms and Kale
Coming into fall, we’ve been starting to crave heartier and warming meals and this polenta dish definitely satisfies that craving. In fact, Eric said “this is the best one in a long time,” meaning the best new recipe we’ve had in a long time. High praise. My dad liked it, too. This is a soft […]
Curried Chickpeas & Quinoa
This recipe emerged as desperation food. This is what I call the cooking I do when I’m making food for myself when Eric isn’t home and I have very little food in the house (in the way of fresh vegetables). Also, I’m hypoglycemic and when my blood sugar gets too low, I get cranky (to put […]
Cafe Flora Brunch
Eric and I have been sneaking off to brunch on Saturday or Sunday to Cafe Flora for the past month or so. It really does feel like sneaking because it’s such a special treat. We get only the things we absolutely love, and we usually share everything. The first couple of weeks, we didn’t tell […]
Travelers Thali House
We had a delicious and relaxed Friday dinner last night at the new Travelers Thali House that moved into Beacon Hill a few weeks ago. This is a second location to the Travelers on Capital Hill and is quite a welcome addition to the south end of Seattle, being both Indian and vegetarian food! The […]
Pike Place Market
No visit to Seattle would be complete without at least a quick stop at the Pike Place Market. In the summer months, it usually gets so crowded with tourists at the market that you can’t even walk through. My favorite time to go to the market is on the scuzziest winter day in February, preferably […]
Blackberry Scones
It’s that time of year again! The blackberries are ripening and popping up everywhere–on the side of the road, in parks, in backyards, in the cracks on the sidewalk. Every year, one of my very good friends and I pick buckets of blackberries and have a long hot day in the kitchen of making jam. […]
