We’re coming into basil season! We’ve got a couple of basil plants in the garden that are already booming. As the summer goes on, they should only get bigger and bushier and provide fresh basil all season long. This basil sauce/dressing is raw and served cold. It tastes like a light, refreshing and tangy pesto. […]

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies
When I was in New York a while back, staying with my friend Emma, she brought home some cookies from the bakery where she works. They were called ‘Honey Bears’ and were all vegan ingredients, except they contained honey. They were so delicious and I wanted to recreate the recipe when I got home and make them truly […]
Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce
We’re definitely coming into strawberry/rhubarb season. The rhubarb in our garden is getting big and ready to harvest. It’s not quite ready, though, so I bought some rhubarb the other day at the vegetable stand, along with some strawberries (from California). I just couldn’t wait any longer! I brought them home and asked Eric if […]
Farro Salad
When I was in Pittsburgh, my mom made the most delicious farro salad with avocado and radishes. I’ve been thinking about it since then and wanting to make it. Luckily, now we all can make it because my mom sent along the recipe yesterday! This salad is served cold and is a wonderful spring/summer addition or […]
Vegan Enchiladas
I know, I know. A whole week after posting the corn tortilla recipe, here’s the enchilada one. Better late than never, I suppose. I got preoccupied at the end of last week by Timothy Pachirat’s (author of Every Twelve Seconds: Industrialized Slaughter and the Politics of Sight) visit to Seattle. He did three events while […]
Quick Jicama Salad
I made this quick jicama salad the other night when I made enchiladas with homemade corn tortillas (I know, I still owe you the enchilada recipe!). There is really hardly anything to this ‘salad’, but it’s such a refreshing, crunchy snack to munch on while you’re cooking dinner, or as a side dish to a […]

Guest Post: “Egg” Salad Sandwich
Today we have a guest post from my friend Karen for her awesome vegan ‘egg’ salad sandwich. She made this delightful lunch last week for our weekly date. She has written a lovely preface for the recipe. Thanks, Karen! Katie and I have been getting together weekly, which has been a wonderful treat for me. She’s […]
Handmade Corn Tortillas
When my mom and I were in Baltimore visiting my sister, Lucy made enchiladas with handmade corn tortillas. I’ll be posting a recreation of the recipe for the enchiladas soon, but in the meantime, here is the corn tortilla recipe. I make corn tortillas in phases–meaning I make them a bunch of times in a […]
Cold Sesame Noodles
This is a recipe from my mom, Anne, who made these a lot when we were growing up. This is a very simple recipe. The dish is served cold and would be a great addition as a main or side to a summer meal. The noodles you want to use might say something like “Japanese Style Noodles” or […]
