Vegan No SOS Dal Tadka

I thought I had a bag of lentils in the pantry.  Sadly, I do not.  I do, however, have a big bag of chana dal that I’ve had for a month or two and haven’t known what I think I should do with it.  I did a quick…

Because Pumpkin Spice

Continued breaking down apples today.  The first batch went into the dehydrator, because I do love me some dried apples.  I got a thicker cut on them today and I think they’re going to be a little chippier tomorrow.  The last batch were a little too thin.  I…

The Third Ring of Hell

After having gone out to JonaMac Orchard way out in Malta, IL, and picked up a shitload, though I think the technical term might be a bushel, of apples and other assorted goodies.  I started peeling this morning and have about a peck (another technical term) of apples…

Apple Picking

Things that Don’t Suck

Okay … so try this.  We took our date goo and added this wicked-good black onyx cocoa from Savory Spice to create this outlandish chocolate sauce.  That mixed into some pureed Okianawan sweeet potatoes.  Oh my goodness.  And back the fuck off!  You can’t say anything.  It tastes…

He also got the rest of the wheat berries, topped with some roasted purple potatoes, purple beans and some sauteed mushrooms that…

What Do I Eat?

Some people wonder from time to time just what one might eat on any given day.  Here’s the way it played out for me today. Got up later than usual this morning and lifted some weights.  By about 10 I sat down and had a bowl of my…

Crazy-Good No SOS Granola

I’m addicted to this stuff and I can’t get enough.  This is my current favorite snack and I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t have this around as my go-to when I don’t feel like making something. Here’s what I do: Ingredients: (this varies from…

American’s Diet Habits Are Changing

Good read about how more and more people are eating from home. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-11/fast-food-s-got-a-netflix-problem-as-americans-prefer-to-dine-in One thing that didn’t get said here that should have been said, too, is that most of the time, the food I can make at home is just better.  It’s better and you mostly know…
