Vegan Raspberry & Apricot Thumbprint Cookies

Stop what you’re doing and go make these now! Seriously. Okay, maybe finish reading the recipe and THEN go make these. I couldn’t even let the last batch cool completely before I had to jump on the computer and post this recipe so that you would not have to suffer another day without these cookies, […]

Lemon-Ginger-Cayenne Cold Remedy

Sorry for the silence yesterday. I woke up feeling under the weather–some weird sinus/sore throat combo. Yesterday was the day I had designated to write my next review for Our Hen House and I didn’t have the stamina to be at the computer long enough to do that, get my work for the journal done (a.k.a. […]

Curried Quinoa Salad with Ginger-Lime Dressing

It’s a greyish, dark kind of morning at the moment and I’m sitting here in the almost-dark at my computer. The glow of the screen is the brightest thing in the room. Thank goodness on this dark, dreary morning (perfect for going back to bed) we have another guest recipe post  from Passover that is […]

Tzimmes (Stewed Root Vegetables & Fruit)

Yesterday, in the Passover Seder 2012 recap, I promised to post a recipe from Ruth (Eric’s mom) for Passover today. This dish is called tzimmes and it’s a traditional Jewish dish often eaten at Passover and Rosh Hashanah. It is usually composed of root vegetables and dried fruit with orange juice and spices. This version is […]

Cornmeal Waffles with Cinnamon Peaches

Okay, I know. Three recipes in a row. Crazy! And they’re a bit all over the place–vegetable pot pie one day, roasted beet and orange salad the next, and now waffles…It’s like breakfast, lunch and dinner in reverse order. These waffles are inspired by the cornmeal waffles at Cafe Flora’s brunch. Cafe Flora tops them with different delicious […]

Roasted Beet and Orange Salad

I’m glad the vegetable pot pie provoked mouth-watering responses from the Pittsburgh crowd. Today, I’ve got another recipe for you. Though not what I would consider comfort food per se, this roasted beet salad has gorgeous coloring and a sweet citrus and earthy flavor. When I was in NY, I attended a board meeting for the […]

Chili Cardamom Truffles

We’ve finally gotten some sun here in Seattle in the past day or two. I’ve heard that people all over the U.S. are having unseasonably warm weather for the time of year–80 F in Pittsburgh in March? I think not. There is something definitely unusual about that. On the reverse, Seattle has been unseasonably cold. Usually February hits […]

Salted Kahlua Truffles

Do I have a treat for you today! Vegan salted kahlua truffles… I love kahlua, but oftentimes think it’s too sweet. I think the salt cuts the sweetness of the kahlua and compliments the chocolate nicely. If you’ve ever seen the film Chocolat with Juliette Binoche, Johnny Depp and Judi Dench, you’ll know I would not […]
