Grilled Caesar Salad

Grilled Caesar Salad

You know what I absolutely hate? When you get a sandwich, and the lettuce is so old and wilted inside that it is a string of dark green mush. It’s a huge turn-off! This often happens when sandwich shops pre-make their sandwiches, and then they

Vegan Lemon Meringue Pie #AquaFaba

Earlier this week, I shared a lemon mousse recipe I’d made with sauerkraut. In the spirit of making desserts when life hands you lemons, today’s recipe is a vegan lemon meringue pie. This recipe wouldn’t be possible without aquafaba, which is kind of my new

Vegan Chocolate Mousse #Aquafaba

Well, ever since I discovered aquafaba, I’ve been having so much fun playing with it! This really is a game-changer for those who have egg allergies, or who are vegan. It opens up a whole world of possibilities! Earlier, I made meringues, and I’m looking

Aquafaba: Vegan Meringue

A couple weeks back, my dear friend Jenn added me to a facebook group called Vegan Meringue: Hits and Misses. At first, I had no idea why, and then I became really intrigued. Regular readers to this blog will know that, while I’m not vegan,

How to Make Kefir

So… yeah. I’m all about the probiotics. I’m all fermenting and making my own yogurt, and I love me some miso. I guess it was just a matter of time until I got to Kefir. I don’t know why it took me so long. It’s

The Best Brownie Recipe

All three of my regular blog readers will know that I am on a life-long quest for the best recipes. Some of the recipes I’m looking for include: banana bread, chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, waffles and brownies. Hmmm… those are all sweet items. 

Olive Oil Lemon Curd

Olive Oil Lemon Curd

Lemon curd is, for me, one of those incredibly sentimental foods. That first spoonful, the first fingerfull, and I’m instantly a child again. Eating my mother’s lemon meringue pie, scooping the bright yellow custard into tart shells, spreading it on my toast. In our house,

Kimchi Fried Rice from Well Fed, Flat Broke

I’m a localvore. I know, it sounds like some dumb, new-age, hipster thing, but really it just means that I like to support local business when I can. Usually, that means shopping at small, locally-owned stores and restaurants over larger, US-owned ones, or buying directly
