One of the things I love about running this site for so long is seeing how some of my favorite recipes morph. Outside of developing recipes, I don't measure. I go based on whatever mood I'm in and never cook a meal the same way twice. This millet egg bake is the perfect example. This...

Whole Roasted Tikka Masala Cauliflower
I am a bit surprised that it has taken me this long to share a whole-roasted cauliflower recipe but I was waiting for the perfect version. Turns out, the perfect version existed with a little help from one of my favorite recipes on the site: tikka masala lentils. This paste is a vegan recipe's best...
Multigrain Pilaf with Quinoa, Millet, and Teff | Cooking Component
Have you ever watched a toddler try to eat whole grains? Or better put, cleaned 90% of those grains from the floor? This is, essentially, how I came to this component. I typically toss my son's grains with a bit of sauce to make them stick together but I wanted a mixture that was the...
Roasted Carrot Multigrain Pilaf with Pepita Pesto
I'm learning that one of the greatest cooking challenges I've faced is one that feels like it shouldn't be that hard: cooking for my family. My husband is not vegetarian and while my toddler will try almost anything, he's still a toddler. I have this balance of working with everyone's preferences to create a solid...
Creamy Millet Porridge with Roasted Strawberries
When it comes to morning porridge, I tend to stick with oatmeal (it’s the easiest to satisfy even the littlest member of the family). However, if I’m just cooking breakfast for myself, I make a cracked grain porridge. Running a grain in a coffee grinder or blender for a few pulses creates a mixture that...
Slow Cooker Rutabaga Gratin with Millet
Post sponsored by Crock-Pot® Brand/Mirum Shopper. See below for more details. When it comes to holiday meals, I'm type-A (plan everything to the minute) cook. I have a schedule for every facet of the meal, to the point of where I have alarms in my phone. (In fact, I still have labels from last Thanksgiving....
Cauliflower and Millet Gratin
With cooler weather comes more casserole-type dishes. In this dish, I love the creamy base of the bechamel sauce paired with the solid flavor of roasted cauliflower. Specifically, this gratin is a riff on this roasted garlic/cheddar gratin. With the addition of grains, this dish is a perfect light supper paired with a side salad....
Millet Sweet Corn Fritters
While few and far between, I occasionally have happy accidents in the kitchen. Recently, I was cooking a big batch of millet. After the usual amount of cooking time, I tasted the cooked millet only to find it was still on the crunchy side. I added more water and continued cooking. It turned out, the...
Cajun Millet Cakes
Some time back, I had a happy accident when I overcooked millet. I thought I didn't have enough water, so I kept adding water and cooking for longer. Once I realized what I had done, it was too late. The millet clumped together and could not be used for the salad I had intended it...
Cheesy Millet Polenta with Roasted Asparagus
One of my favorite things about writing The Homemade Flour Cookbook was the chance to step outside the normal bounds of how I use grains/flours. There is a fun in-between of the whole grain and flours that can serve a few different uses. Cracked grains work great for morning porridge or as soup thickeners. Or...
Three Grain Pilaf with Roasted Asparagus
It's no secret that I love grains as a base for meals but one of may favorite things is to mix grains. It's not always the easiest given almost every grain has a different cook time but the method below is perfect. I cook the sorghum by itself then add the millet and quinoa. The...
Spiced Carrot Muffins with Millet
My attempt at a healthy muffin that I would still want to eat.
Fried Millet with Brussels Sprouts
I am notorious for throwing random leftover ingredients in a pan and calling it dinner. This type of cooking lends itself well to recipes like fried rice. I've shared a couple versions of fried rice on the site and it's one of the recipes in The Easy Vegetarian Kitchen. Fried rice is such a great...
Moroccan Carrot Salad with Millet
I had grand plans to share a pot pie recipe for Thanksgiving today but we've entered a new era of short naps which meant, I've not had a ton of time to shoot a slightly more intricate recipe. Enter this Moroccan Carrot Salad. It can easily be cooked and assembled in about 25 minutes, has...
Herbed Millet with Fresh Tomatoes
Gluten Free Blackberry Corn Cake
There are certain things I have a big weakness for. Chocolate cake and ice cream for starters and mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and hummus for a few others. And on occasion, cornbread lathered in butter and drizzled with a bit of honey. I'm not sure where this love of cornbread came from but if you...
Simple Vegetable Egg Bake
There are quite a few recipes in the archives of the site that have been staples in our home for as long as I can remember. I leave them up in all their probably not-so-well-written/photos-make-me-cringe glory because some of them have become the most popular recipes on the site. I guess (or assume) this is due...
Chickpea Shawarma with Millet
I believe one of the biggest reasons vegetarian and vegan cooking gets a bad name is because there are a ton of flavorless meals and recipes out there. I think it's easier with a good cut of meat to just add a bit of salt/pepper then call it good and while I feel the same...
Grilled Eggplant Rolls with Cream Cheese and Herbed Millet
Another week, another post in the ingredient challenge series. For those of you unfamiliar, every other Monday I ask for readers to send me three ingredients currently in their kitchen. I take those ingredients and prepare a meal that is hopefully simple and inspiring! The first challenge was all about summer with zucchini, tomato, and...
Three-Grain Grilled Vegetable and Feta Salad
During the warmer months, I could pack a lunch and head out on a picnic everyday. There’s a calm and centering that comes with laying out on the grass, reading a good book, and snacking on a spread of food (and trust me, there is always a spread.) Ever since moving to California, the locales...
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...
Cumin Braised Carrots and Chickpeas
Sometimes my laziness leads to some awesome meals. If I had my way, every day I would eat roasted vegetables with a handful of grains and a healthy dollop of hummus. All that needs done is tossing a few chopped vegetables in a roasting dish and waiting for roughly 30 minutes. This meal would fall...
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...
Roasted Golden Beet and Millet Spinach Salad with Herb Dressing
I had a stark realization this week. Dorm food sucks. Like, I forgot how bad it is until I started eating in a dorm again. I had something that called itself eggplant parm but I'm still not sure, a stuffed pepper that made me wish I never picked it up and salads void of most...
Pumpkin Pie Millet Porridge
A delicious breakfast bowl full of millet and pumpkin!
