More cups

Kyle got jealous with all my chocolate peanut butter cup eating.  So I made him something to shut him up delight his taste buds, too. I made four, thinking they’d last him through the week.  I don’t know what I was thinking.    Nutty Fudge Cups (vegan, gluten free) [yields 4 cups] Ingredients: 3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips, melted 2 tbsp peanut butter 2 tbsp Earth Balance, melted 2 tbsp powdered sugar (I used NuNaturals stevia baking blend) 1/4 cup walnuts, crushed Directions: Melt chocolate chips.  Melt butter.  Combine with the rest of the ingredients. … Read more >

Carrot glow

  When the winter months start in, it’s always best to have a tanning back-up plan.  Enter carrots.  With B-carotene, you don’t need the sunlight to get your orange glow on. But just in case this slightly superficial side effect isn’t your thing, here’s a delicious and comforting carrot dish to (hopefully) win you over.  Good flavors are enticing to everyone, right?  Right. Psst, it’s a slow cooker recipe, too…so that means it takes minimal effort to make.  Faux tan + yummy food + not much work = win win win.   Soy Glazed Carrots… Read more >

Green bean casserole

I know there are a lot of families that consider a green bean casserole a holiday staple.  We were never that family.  So I’ve actually never tried a green bean casserole.  To be honest, it doesn’t sound that amazing. To be clear, this is not a green bean casserole.  But it is a baked pasta dish.  And it does have green beans.  So by default, it’s kinda a green bean casserole.  Does that make any sense?  Hmmm… Well, I’ll just share the recipe and let you decide. Creamy Green Bean Casserole (vegan) Ingredients: 16 oz…. Read more >

The slow-cooker secret

…is that there is no secret.  There are no tricks you need to know to make a perfect meal. It’s virtually idiot proof.  [I say virtually, because I’m sure there’s some moron somewhere who did something wrong]  The only way I think you could mess up a crock-pot recipe is by forgetting to plug it in. Take this meal, for example.  I made it last week and I just threw things in and hoped for the best. The outcome? Not too shabby. Now since I know you’re going to ask me what was in it,… Read more >

Never leave a man behind

Let’s start with dessert(s).  I had three times the bowl you see below.  Heavy on the candied ginger.   In case you were wondering, the Whole Foods on the westside have finally restocked their candied ginger supply, so this is their brand (as opposed to the Trader Joe’s kind that I’ve been hoarding for the past few months).  Whole Foods’ ginger is crystallized, so there is more sugar, but it’s also spicier.  I prefer the spicy kind.    Check it.  A mitten shaped piece! After I had sated my sweet tooth, I made food for… Read more >
