Maine corn has arrived at market. Hip hip hooray! My kiddos could eat corn on the cob 7 days a week for lunch and dinner. While tend to agree with this sentiment, I also like to think off the cob and love recipes that present corn in a different and delicious way. This salad is […]
If you're entertaining and need something green to snack upon, here are some lovely and simple spreads to put out with carrots or crackers of your choice. Radishes offer a gorgeous color contrast to these verdant springtime dips. Homemade dips and spread are great make-ahead appetizers. Any leftovers are perfect for vegetarian sandwiches. I love […]
This is one of my favorite recipes for steamed or roasted asparagus. It's perfect for a spring brunch. This would also be delicious as a Meatless Monday dinner item alongside a nice salad and roasted potatoes. Asparagus Salad with Almonds, Eggs and Parsley with a Whole Grain Mustard Vinaigrette 2 Tbsp. whole grain mustard (Dijon […]
This recipe was born out of neccesity. A pot of over-cooked beans would have turned to mush in a salad or soup, so a schmootz was the simple solution. This was became a staple of my vegan detox as a spread on rice cakes, as a substitute for mayo and as a dip for blanched […]

Allow me to introduce classic hummus meets beta-carotene, in the form of sweet potatoes. The […]
During my vegan detox, one thing that I missed was ice cream. I come from a long line of ice cream lovers and knew that I would have to come up with a plan to fill the ice cream void. Canned coconut milk is a luxurious ingredient, it adds an unmistakable richness to Thai and […]
Traditionally made with pork and chicken, posole made with the right ingredients can also be delicious vegetarian. In Mexico, this dish is consumed like menudo, to help quell the effects of a hangover. I just love the buttery, crunchy texture of hominy. Two “secret” ingredients for me were my vegetable stock (see the post on […]
Big News: Kitty Broihier and I delivered the Gluten-Free Slow Cooking book last Tuesday. It is being published by Sterling and will be on the shelves in November (just in time for the holidays). YAY! Hmmm? What shall I do next? How about go vegan? For 21 days… Well, I have been toying with doing some sort of […]
This year, I participated in a fledgling soup swap here in Boulder, CO. Our host, Julie, has a friend in New York who has been participating in National Soup Swap for a while and had 197 quarts of soup at her house during this year’s swap. That’s a lot of soup! While we didn’t have quite […]
