Choose your own

Remember the choose your own adventure books?  Ah, the good ‘ol days.  I don’t remember finding them remotely good or interesting, but it was still fun to pick which direction you wanted the story to go.  This “risotto” is kinda like that, in that it’s a blank slate, waiting for you to make it your own.   Here’s why it’s “risotto” in quotation marks (and not real risotto).  I used two grains (brown rice and buckwheat) in it.  From what I understand about risotto, it’s a pain in the ass to make and you basically… Read more >

Stuff it

Vegan. Gluten free. Mega nutrients.  And deeeeelicious. Stuffed Sweet Potatoes [vegan, gluten free] Ingredients: 2 sweet potatoes 1/4 block (~4 oz.) firm tofu 1/4 cup hummus (I used Sabra’s spinach & artichoke) 1/4 cup chopped greens (I used frozen chopped collards) 1 carrot, shredded salt & pepper (to taste) Directions: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Scrub potatoes, poke with fork a few times, and microwave for 6 minutes (rotate half way through).

Banana Bread Biscuits

  I made these a while ago but I guess I just forgot about them.  Just like the batch of two scones I made, this recipe had a small yield.  Only three biscuits, actually. I guess they’re biscuits.  They’re not as buttery though.  More like baby banana bread rolls.  Who knows.  I had them for breakfast, sometimes plain, sometimes with nut butter.  But they’d be good with Earth Balance and jam too.  That was my favorite toast topping growing up.  Not butter OR jam, butter AND jam.  Did anyone else do this too?  Is this… Read more >

Super simple strata for the weekend

Making breakfast at night for the next day is dangerous.  Because no matter how full you are, the aroma of baked stuff is just too powerful.  This is Kyle’s reaction to the strata coming out of the oven. He said (and this is a real quote) “I’m just going to take this upstairs into bed with me now, okay?”.  Uh, no.  Not okay. “Pleaseeeee?”   The weird part was how much this smelled like butter.  As it was baking, I checked on it a few times (more times than I normally would have) because it… Read more >

How to get CHO self to the store

A day after we returned home from Nor Cal, this huge box arrived from Chobani!  CHO ho ho!  It’s like a never ending holiday season. 🙂 It was kinda the divine intervention needed to get my butt in gear, since we were still in the planning stages of weekly meals (aka we hadn’t yet been to the grocery store after a week out of town).   Truth be told, I was not in the mood to cook or to go shopping for food or to plan out the weekly menu, but the fridge was in… Read more >
