FreshCap Mushrooms mushroom powder added a roasted mushroom vinaigrette over a roasted cauliflower and tomato warm salad.

Have you tried Mushroom Powder? One of the best things about blogging is having the opportunity to test drive new products for you guys.

I’m talking about mushroom extract powders from FreshCap Mushrooms. Mushroom Healing Properties Mushrooms are totally on trend right now. And for good reason. ...

Stuffed Delicata Squash

October 29, 2018 6 Comments

Delicata squash stuffed with sautéed apples, spinach, quinoa, shallots, Serrano chile and tofu.

Why should you stuff Delicata Squash? First of all, delicata squash is tender and small enough to easily slice in half with a sharp chef's knife. Once you scrape out the seeds and pulp, you have perfect boats for stuffing. And for bonus points, the skin is thin enough to be eaten. That means you don't have to peel this beautiful squash.  Secondly, stuffed delicata squash is super-easy to prepare and goes with so many different flavors. For example, my favorite recipe is this vegetarian ...

Socca Pizza with Spinach, Tomatoes, Olives and Feta | #SundaySupper

Socca with Greek Salad

Gluten-free socca pizza made with chickpea flour and topped with a Greek salad. In celebration of the opening of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 this weekend, we're all about Greek food at Sunday Supper today!  Full confession, I missed the first movie, so clearly I have some homework to do before seeing the second one. All I really know about these movies is that they're about the clash of cultural traditions with modern-day, and embrace both the frustration and joy of large extended families with ...

Spinach & Garlic Chickpea Pancakes with Sriracha Yogurt

February 5, 2015 5 Comments

Chickpea pancakes filled with garlic, scallions and spinach, and topped with Sriracha Yogurt.

I admit that when I first saw this week's Pancake theme with The Food Network's #ComfortFoodFest, I thought about ricotta pancakes studded with blackberries and one of my very favorites - soufflé pancakes scented with lemon and served with a berry compote. And then I remembered how much I love chickpea pancakes, and decided on a healthier, savory flapjack. Chickpea pancakes, made with chickpea flour, are a little edgy here in the States, and frequently associated with vegans or vegetarians, but ...

Portabellas Stuffed with Cabernet Onions and Gorgonzola

Portabellas Stuffed with Cabernet Onions and Spinach

When I moved to a mostly vegetarian diet a couple of years ago, I needed to create some new entrées for the holidays. Let’s face it; whether you’re 2 years old or 75, food is central to festivities, starting with Thanksgiving and continuing all the way through countless holiday parties to New Years Day. So, just two months after my leap into the big green world of vegetarianism, heated debates raged in my extended family over the best way to roast (or deep fry) turkey to get a crispy skin and ...

October 16, 2012 11 Comments

Rustic soup filled with vegetable chunks, beans, tomatoes, and butternut squash.

First place Whole Foods contest winner: Hearty, filling vegetable packed soup with white beans (+ optional chicken) to keep you warm. The harvest. Hopes fulfilled. Dreams realized. A time to celebrate and share a bounty with family, friends, and neighbors, that was hard-earned. A time to cook, and for canning what you want to preserve for the winter ahead. Our harvest can be from our orchards, vegetable patches, or vineyards. But it can also be the lessons we learn in life as we contemplate our ...
