Color me orange

Here’s a list of my favorite foods that are orange: sweet potatoes butternut squash carrots …and now this dip. I actually set out to re-make my creamy dijon cashew sauce.  I wanted a nut free version – something lighter.  It turned out quite nicely for a low fat food.  Actually it turned out great for any kind of food. And now I’m pretty much putting it on everything.  Especially other orange things. You can’t have too much B carotene, right?  Right.

I’m giving away the BEST supplements

Recipe first, giveaway second.  Cool? Or you can skip ahead to the end if you want.  I won’t be offended. I was trying to make meatless meatballs, but they weren’t really cooperating, so instead we got sliders.  The recipe still needs some work though (in my opinion).  They taste good, so that’s not the issue.  And for anyone wanting to make sliders (or bigger veggie burgers?), these would probably be good enough. I’m sure everyone is thoroughly sick of Super Bowl recipe ideas at this point (I know I am).  So make these whenever.  Or… Read more >

Souper yummy

A play on the word soup?  Such an Elise move.  I blame this on my dad (thanks for the pun gene).   Here are a few of the reasons soup is awesome: 1. It’s filling. 2. It’s cheap. 3. It’s easy to make. 4. It can be healthy and still taste really really good. 5. It’s perfect for cold winter months. Totally awesome list, huh.   Inspired by the soup from this book (see below), I made my own version. The concept was the same, I still used mushrooms, miso and butternut squash.  But I… Read more >

On the go breakfasts

His and hers differ minimally on the weekends, but on week days I make him portable savory fare.  He often eats in the car on the way to work.  His faves include mini breakfast quiches and grits.  And when I’m lazy, I’ll give him an Amy’s breakfast burrito.  Unfortunately, Amy’s burritos have gotten to be too expensive for our new budget.  Convenient, yes.  Pricey, yes yes.  So we said adios to the luxury of prepared frozen health food and hello to the home-made alternative. Tofu scramble + whole wheat tortilla + cheese = Kyle’s new… Read more >
