  Yes, I know I promised another recipe for my Roasted Balsamic Tomatoes next. But I’ve been thinking about posting desserts on Fridays, and here we are at Friday already. I swear yesterday was Monday, but somehow I slammed through TuesdayWednesdayThursday in the time it [...]]]> http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/lemon-coconut-shortbread-bars/feed/ 4 http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/vegan-lentil-saute-with-roasted-tomatoes/ http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/vegan-lentil-saute-with-roasted-tomatoes/#comments Wed, 22 May 2013 19:34:01 +0000 The Wimpy Vegetarian http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/?p=4375
Think of this as lentil soup morphed into a sauté. It’s about as easy to make too, especially since the lentils I used cooked up so fast. I’ve made this a number of times with regular run-of-the-mill brown lentils, but then I saw Bartolini’s adorable [...]]]> http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/vegan-lentil-saute-with-roasted-tomatoes/feed/ 22 http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/sundaysupper-roasted-balsamic-tomatoes/ http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/sundaysupper-roasted-balsamic-tomatoes/#comments Sun, 19 May 2013 06:30:27 +0000 The Wimpy Vegetarian http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/?p=4341
  This may not feel like much of a recipe to you, but this is one of my star kitchen staples these days. Frankly I need all the shortcuts I can find, with my time being gulped down by the gallon between remodeling a condo we [...]]]> http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/sundaysupper-roasted-balsamic-tomatoes/feed/ 31 http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/sundaysupper-cornbread-pancakes-with-blackberries/ http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/sundaysupper-cornbread-pancakes-with-blackberries/#comments Sun, 12 May 2013 06:20:02 +0000 The Wimpy Vegetarian http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/?p=4173
  This week’s theme for #SundaySupper is Mother’s Day, hosted by Heather Lynn at the wonderful Hezzi-D’s Books and Cooks blog. My thoughts immediately flew to pancakes. But not for breakfast. Pancakes for me means breakfast for dinner. Breakfast for dinner conjures up quiet suppers, all [...]]]> http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/sundaysupper-cornbread-pancakes-with-blackberries/feed/ 33 http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/starbucks-bring-back-my-carbs/ http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/starbucks-bring-back-my-carbs/#comments Wed, 08 May 2013 10:00:51 +0000 The Wimpy Vegetarian http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/?p=4285
Those of you who are regular readers of The Wimpy Vegetarian will no doubt have run across various references to Susan’s spouse, the resolute carnivore.  That’s me.  I am really an omnivore, but lean (no pun intended) towards the meat-eater side of the table.  But [...]]]> http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/starbucks-bring-back-my-carbs/feed/ 39 http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/bizcochitos-a-traditional-cinco-de-mayo-cookie/ http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/bizcochitos-a-traditional-cinco-de-mayo-cookie/#comments Sun, 05 May 2013 10:00:14 +0000 The Wimpy Vegetarian http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/?p=4271
  Does your state have an official state cookie? As someone whose first word was cookie, according to my mom, I think my state should have one. The bizcochito, also spelled biscochito, is New Mexico’s official state cookie and is a traditional favorite there for [...]]]> http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/bizcochitos-a-traditional-cinco-de-mayo-cookie/feed/ 9 http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/avocado-cream-sauce/ http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/avocado-cream-sauce/#comments Thu, 02 May 2013 10:00:22 +0000 The Wimpy Vegetarian http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/?p=4255
If you’re looking for a versatile little sauce that takes minutes to make, look no further. In the past week I’ve used it on these arepas, as a pasta sauce, and added it to a little olive oil for a salad dressing. And I’ve eaten [...]]]> http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/05/avocado-cream-sauce/feed/ 14 http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/04/pickled-onions-in-cardamom-orange-tea/ http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/04/pickled-onions-in-cardamom-orange-tea/#comments Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:00:49 +0000 The Wimpy Vegetarian http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/?p=4241
The earthy onion isn’t known for her subtlety. Unwrap her papery robe, and slice her open, if you doubt this. She’s a woman of many moods, though. Invite her to join some warm oil in a sauté pan, and watch her melt into the moist [...]]]> http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/04/pickled-onions-in-cardamom-orange-tea/feed/ 12 http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/04/sundaysupper-arepas-rellenas-stuffed-arepas/ http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/04/sundaysupper-arepas-rellenas-stuffed-arepas/#comments Sun, 28 Apr 2013 05:40:46 +0000 The Wimpy Vegetarian http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/?p=4211
Nothing ever stays put. That’s not necessarily bad. It’s just true. Jobs change, kids grow up, we move or redecorate. We pack on unwanted weight, we shed some of it (never quite as much as we gain, and what’s up with that?), and take up [...]]]> http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/04/sundaysupper-arepas-rellenas-stuffed-arepas/feed/ 41 http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/04/breakfast-pizza-with-asparagus/ http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/2013/04/breakfast-pizza-with-asparagus/#comments Mon, 22 Apr 2013 17:52:22 +0000 The Wimpy Vegetarian http://thewimpyvegetarian.com/?p=4034
I recently joined over 2000 people interested in tasting artisan cheeses at the Seventh Annual Artisan Cheese Festival in Petaluma. Armed with our passports to fun, a wine glass and an insulated bag with a cold pack, my husband and I were off to the tasting tables.
