Curried Carrot Soup & Lazy Days Samosas
Nope, still no Barcelona posts. I’m such a tease, but I promise they’ll be coming–and sooner than later because… dum dum dum … we are renovating our kitchen! And that means that there will be quite a few weeks of limited access to stoves and ovens and counters so during that time I’ll run some [...]
Broccoli Greens Saag Tofu
Barcelona updates soon, but I’m still a little overwhelmed by it (if you’re interested in the meantime find me @JesGearing on Instagram–there’s a bevy of Barca pics!) But for now, Broccoli Saag Tofu. Saag. Defined: a leaf-based dish eaten in South Asia. Typically eaten with a flat bread like roti or naan. Funny how if [...]
Bikes, Brews, & Good Eats
Oh hey everyone! I didn’t forget about you. Pinky promise. See, I kindof went to Barcelona and forgot to tell everyone. I know. Who does that? So, while I have hundreds of Barcelona photos to sort through and edit and make blog posts with, I figured I’d ease back into blogging with something a little [...]
Orange Rosemary Cornbread French Toast
Once upon a time, I used to make brunch every weekend. It generally incuded staples like Tempeh Tube Sausage and Banana Bourbon Pecan Waffles. Plenty of French Press coffee and Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me was involved. It was a pretty swell tradition. These weekends, I often don’t brunch much (and when I do it’s [...]
Rosemary Orange Cornbread
This past Saturday, May 11, I made a pot of chili. Yes, chili. As in football season, sweaters, and autumn leaves chili (it was a riff on this ye olde recipe, in case you were wondering). Why the chili? It was raining. And raining. And windy. And cold (well, cold-ish–too cold for May, at least). [...]
Sorrel Pesto
Anyone remember the early days of blogging? You know, back when we all had Blogger/Blogspot addresses (no self-hosting), simply talked about food and got to know each other–the days when none of us made money off it and everything was simple? I miss those days. (Not that I make money off this site. But…it has [...]
Almond Noodles w/ Pickled Bok Choi & Fried Tofu
Rain, you’re drunk, go home. I mean, all those years I’ve said, “Seattle would be perfect for me! I could wear black and grey and the people are all kind of jaded and hip and the food is awesome and I totally don’t care about the gloom, who needs sun?”…yeah, I was totally wrong. Seattle, [...]
The Best Veg(an) Dish in Roanoke
Apparently it’s tofu week on the blog. Wasn’t quite planning for that, but, hey, why look a themed gift horse in the mouth? Or whatever that saying is. Anyone else notice that it’s Friday? (Trust me, I’ve been counting down the hours this week…) And what better day to go out and enjoy a fancy [...]
Primavera Tofu Pockets
Remember back during Vegan MoFo this past year when I made Kittee’s kick ass Crispy Crunchy Tofu Pockets? Yeah, me too. I’ve been thinking about them all these months since. I mean, hello stuffed tofu goodness, youdabes. So why on earth have I not made a tofu pocket since? I think I’ve just been in [...]
Totally Taco Friday & a Garden Update
It seems like a miracle that we’ve made it to the end of this work week. Between feeling down for personal reasons and the horrific events of Boston and West and the gun bill not passing even though 80% of Americans support it and the floods that are now ravaging the midwest, it seems like [...]
