Miso-Glazed Fish & Somen Salad
I tried some new things this week. Wednesday I tried steaming artichokes for the first time. I totally overcooked them but I learned a lot, so I’ll cook them better next time. My mom made these for us as a kid and I’ve always enjoyed them plain or dipped in salad dressing.
Thursday night, R and […]

St. Patty’s Day Treat
Today I made vegan/dairy-free Irish Soda Bread from the most recent issue of VegNews. It was nice to have a sweet snack to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and our Irish heritage. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Kale is the new Collard.
After visiting Sunflower Vegetarian a few times lately and ordering the Kale and Burdock Deluxe I have not been able to satsify my craving for a meal of purely dark greens-cooked well. If you haven’t been to Sunflower you are missing out. There is a heavy alliance on mock meats which isn’t really my thing, […]

Ethiopian-Inspired Delight!
Thanks to Susan at Fat Free Vegan Kitchen for yet another wonderful recipe. Here’s proof that I like spices other than curry. I made Ethiopian-Inspired Red Lentil Soup on Tuesday. Holy Moly it was good. Flim Flam it was good! I didn’t mix my own Berbere, I found it at World Market. I’d never used […]

Weeknight Dinner Catch-Up & Wrap-Up
Monday I made Polenta with Black Beans and Spinach from Vegan Express. True to its name, it was express - it took me about 20 minutes total to make. We’ve had that tube of polenta in the pantry for a while now, so I was happy to use it and I enjoyed grilling the polenta. […]

Open Letter to Blogmate: More Cheesy than Nerdy
Stace,
Thank you for being my best friend. You make me so happy. I know that we practice yoga asanas a lot and so many may call us yogis. But, asana is only one limb of the eight limbs of yoga. Some of the other limbs provide a way of living and without even studying these […]
