This post could be considered late. I actually had these meatballs in mind for holiday parties (but that didn't happen) and then I thought for sure I'd get this recipe up before the Super Bowl (turns out, it's February already.) So instead, I'm sharing these with you today but that's okay because I eat these...
Dairy
Garlic Spinach, Millet, and Eggs
Over the next few months, I'm going to push more towards simple recipes that are made with 1-2 seasonal items and using my pantry as a guide for inspiration. I've spent a lot of time building sections for using bulk bins and seasonal produce (both still continuing to get updates) and I'm hoping to share...
Maple Cinnamon Roasted Acorn Squash
This recipe is a lovely treat for fall. It's simple and low maintenance- squash and a bit of heavy cream baked together. This could be a side but I see this much more as a dessert. The maple/cream combo caramelizes the edges while the remaining heavy cream collects in the bottom well of the squash....
Chipotle Sweet Potato and Brown Rice Egg Skillet
When I first started eating vegetarian, one of the things I noticed right away was the lack of flavor restaurants would use in their vegetarian options. It was almost as if vegetarian was synonymous with: "oh you don't eat meat? That must mean you want a big pile of vegetables with nothing else or pasta,...
Millet Porridge with Lemon Curd and Sunflower Seeds
[/ba-column] Post will be short and sweet from here until the new year. I know many people are wading through piles of cookies and planning holiday dinners but life has been pretty normal around here. M and I headed down to San Francisco last weekend to finish up (aka- start and complete) our shopping and...
Cornbread Pancakes with Maple-Lemon Curd
There are two things that came together to make these pancakes: my love of all things cornbread and the fact that I now live in a state that has a citrus season. The latter statement has been a dream of mine, one frankly I never thought would come true. While my dreams of having a...
Whipped Sweet Potato Goat Cheese Crostini
I've recently turned to being more of a savory person and so I thought these sweet potato crostini would be the perfect appetizer for your holiday party (or if your me, lunch). The crostini is fairly quick to throw together and packs such a lovely flavor. If you aren't a goat cheese fan (I admit,...
Homemade Veggie Burger with Brown Rice, Oat, and Nuts
I understand that the eternal quest for the veggie burger is to find one that doesn't fall apart but I think you might be missing out. Sure, this burger might fall apart while you are eating but the flavors are not to be missed. This burger is an imitation of my favorite veggie burger from...
Vegetarian Pumpkin Mac and Cheese
I am a mac and cheese fiend-it's my comfort dish. I have hit and miss memories on food and childhood but I do remember watching my mother make mac and cheese. She didn't use a recipe (and still doesn't) but makes the simplest, but amazing, mac and cheese. So amazing that every time I've tried...
Vegetarian Chili Cheese Fries
I think when discussing the move from fast food/junk food to whole foods, one major discussion is left out: how unbelievably hard it can be to leave the junk behind. I still crave fried food (my serious downfall are onion rings and fried cauliflower) and I may or may not have eaten a doughnut or...
Fall Cornbread Panzanella Salad with Maple-Mustard Vinaigrette
The title that was too long but actually describes the salad: Roasted Sweet Potato and Brussels Sprout Cornbread Panzanella Salad with Blue Cheese and a Maple Mustard Vinaigrette. A bit wordy, huh? I've been staring at Laura's many awesome panzanella salads (I think she's the queen of these salads) and then I saw Ashley post...
Chickpea Salad Sandwich with Blue Cheese and Grapes
Last Saturday can only be labeled as "the day of the breakdown." I had just come from two long, awesome days at a conference and woke up Saturday on the wrong side of the bed. I cried, bawled, and threatened to stay in bed all day. It was horrible and it was mainly because of...
New Series | Base Recipe: Frittata
In the upcoming weeks, you may notice some changes (big and small) around the site. I'm making it easier to find recipes, updating the resource sections to include a bit more information, and cleaning up the site so that it's easy to use across devices. During this process, I'm also introducing a few new series/features...
Stuffed Hatch Chiles with Cilantro-Lime Yogurt
At the entrance of the co-op, there is always the "what's on special" display. I'm often wooed by the fresh fruit and occasionally have gone a bit overboard with the produce. This week, the display had these lovely Hatch chiles. I've only had these chiles a couple times but the flavor and the mild heat...
Summer Veggie Omelette
While vacation is nice, there is something about coming home and getting back in a routine that feels comforting. I feel that I've missed out quite a bit on summer in California, especially with produce, as I worked on the cookbook. Now that the recipes are done, I can settle back into my normal shopping...
Heirloom Tomato, Fried Egg, and Goat Cheese
Yesterday I headed down to San Francisco for ALT. After my last experience left me a bit confused and overwhelmed, I decided to give it one more go. While I'm still parsing through all the conversations and ideas I had, for the most part, the speakers left me kind of meh (except for Mike Mccue...
Roasted Peach and Cherry Einkorn Shortcake
M and I feel lucky to have grown up in the time that we did in regards to computers and the internet. We went through school when research was still done through books and journals at the library and computers weren’t a staple in every home. I was fortunate that my father tried to keep...
Asparagus and Eggs
Of all the recipes I share, I love the ones that aren't actually recipes. In fact, I love the meals that come together quickly, focus less on the exact measurement and more about what you have on hand. Moreover, since these meals can be so simple, it sometimes feels silly for me to write them...
Pistachio Muffins with Dark Chocolate Chips
I like nuts as a snack but I like them even better when there's chocolate involved. I will always choose the chocolate bar with nuts mixed in, I always put nuts in my chocolate chip cookies, and rarely do I have a trail mix without a little dark chocolate mixed in. So, it should come...
