One of the first meals Eric ever made for me when I came out to visit him in Seattle years and years ago was fettucini alfredo. It was a delicious, romantic meal loaded with heavy cream and cheese and whatever else goes into a super-rich dairy-laden alfredo sauce. Of course, as soon as we were finished eating, I […]

Grain Bowl How-To
Good morning! We’re coming off of three glorious days of spring sunny weather here in Seattle and when I woke up this morning, the clouds and grey were back like a cozy blanket. I don’t mind the clouds and drizzle, in fact I love it a lot of the time, but this morning it makes […]
Green on Greens Salad
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
