A group of young breeding bulls just sold at auction were herded into the chute to the transport truck. Their coats were black and shiny and they were in good shape. Strong and energetic — the picture of health. Two men herded them, one with a paddle and the other with an electric prod. As they neared […]

Autumn Morning Glory Muffins
As I recall, I didn’t have my first morning glory muffin until later in life than I probably should have. I remember it well. I got one from Rainbow Grocery on Capitol Hill in Seattle and loved it (this was well before it, sadly, closed). I’ve been thinking about morning glory muffins a lot lately […]
Zucchini Bread Pancakes
Just in time for the weekend, here’s a recipe for a great Saturday morning breakfast or brunch. Not to be mistaken for the savory zucchini pancakes from last week, these are breakfast pancakes that taste just like zucchini bread. I’ve been daydreaming about these for a while now, imagining what they might taste like and […]
Curried Pumpkin Soup
I’m finally ready to admit it’s fall. The leaves are officially changing and dropping to the ground. The weather has turned and the days are getting shorter. I’ve pulled out my fall coat and scarves from the closet. For me, this soup epitomizes fall. It’s pumpkin — one of the stars of autumn produce — and […]

Savory Zucchini Pancakes with Homemade Applesauce
What should you make when the end of zucchini season runs into apple season? Zucchini pancakes topped with fresh homemade applesauce, of course! I’ve always been a fan of latkes (a traditional Jewish potato pancake dish) and I’ve always loved them topped with both applesauce and sour cream. This recipe is reminiscent of that. I used some […]
San Francisco Breakfast Burrito (The Grind Cafe)
On the day I was heading home to Seattle, Tish and Jason and I went to breakfast at The Grind Café. They have quite a few vegan options (all of their scrambles can be made with tofu instead of eggs). Tish and I both got the breakfast burrito made vegan. I have to say it was one of the nicest breakfast […]
The Little Chihuahua (San Francisco Mexican Eats)
I just got back from a whirlwind trip to San Francisco after my Pittsburgh travels. I stayed with my good friend Tish and her partner, Jason. They were wonderful hosts and live in a beautiful apartment in the Lower Haight. Everything is in walking distance — lots of amazing food, groceries, Golden Gate Park, etc. A […]
Last of the Heirloom Tomatoes
There are still a few heirloom tomatoes at the farmers markets in Seattle. I’m not letting go of summer completely until the heirlooms are gone. In these last days of summer tomatoes, I’ve been enjoying them more and more simply. Here are few ideas that require little to no preparation: Sliced and plain, these ripe tomatoes […]
Spak Brothers — Pittsburgh Hoagies, Vegan Style
One of the things I miss about not living in Pittsburgh is being able to eat delicious hoagies. When I went vegan, I came to terms with the fact that hoagies were off the list. A lot of classic Pittsburgh foods, in fact, were off the list. But we won’t dwell on that. As you can […]
