Two meals with quinoa

As you may have guessed based on the fact that I’m STILL (eye roll) posting recipes that I made 99 years ago, I haven’t been cooking much lately.  Blah.  I don’t wanna talk about it.   Above: Salmon with quinoa and sliced tomatoes.  Below: Seitan & quinoa bowl with sriracha vegan aioli on a bed of garden greens (chard).    So guess what?  If you’re a vegetarian or vegan, you can totally swap the seitan for the fish in the first recipe.  And if you don’t dig seitan you can do fish in the second… Read more >

Whole Foods Fumi Salad

Remember when I wrote an ode to Whole Foods (and basically showed you how to blow your bank account while unemployed for the summer)? Yeah, well, that post featured one of my all time favorite salads from WF.  The fumi tofu salad.  It’s really just an Asian cabbage slaw, I suppose.  With ramen noodles. We had lots of cabbage so why not?  I didn’t feel like making tofu, so ours was a protein-less version, but adding tofu (or tempeh) would be the proper way to honor the WF gods.    Chilled noodle salads are the… Read more >

The banana bread you all want

Ok! So you guys want some gluten free quick bread, huh!?  After I asked which recipes peeps were interested in in this post, the banana bread was the most requested one by far. I totally don’t blame you.  I’ve had it for breakfast every single morning for the past two weeks. Every. Single. Morning. I’ve re-made it THREE times since. It’s so gooooood. Gluten Free Banana Bread [vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, FODMAPs friendly, makes 1 mini loaf] Ingredients: 1 cup almond flour 1/2 c NuNaturals stevia baking blend 1/4 cup whole rolled oats (certified… Read more >

Not raw

You can thank T.J. for this post. He convinced me to blog. [Ok not really, I have been waiting to share this recipe when I had some free time. But if you are reading this Alexandria, you have one awesome man.] So. It may not look like much but it was a life saver the other week when I was swamped in the ICU and had 2 seconds to inhale lunch. I’m not even exaggerating. Because I use my breaks to pump or nurse, eating is hard to fit in. But of course I do… Read more >

Peach Cornbread Muffins

Like I said before, these are a cross between cornbread and muffins and fruit pie.  Slightly sweet, hearty yet delicate, and light enough to eat a few without feeling like a sloth afterwards. Good for breakfast, snacking, or dessert!    Hearty Gluten Free Peach Muffins [vegetarian, gluten free, yields 12 muffins] Ingredients: 1/2 cup almond flour 1/2 cup cornmeal (medium grind) 1/2 cup brown rice flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp salt 1/3 cup vegan butter/coconut oil, melted 1 egg 1/4 cup goat’s milk plain kefir 2 tsp… Read more >
