Thanksgiving!

Out this morning running the roads and starting to think about what we’re going to put on the plate for Thanksgiving.  The obvious choices come to mind which are easy to do in plant-based versions. Cranberry relish – check Corn – frozen over the summer, check! Green Beans…

Buckwheat!

I’ve been adding buckwheat to my granola for a couple of weeks now, but not until last night have I tried to eat it cooked on its own. I finished my evening last night, setting up what I’d wanted to cook today: Lemony Chickpeas, mixed beans and the…

Company

We’ve had company over the past weekend so I’ve been busy and haven’t posted anything.  I was going to say I hadn’t posted a lot, but that’s clearly a bunch of bullshit. I haven’t posted anything.  I’ve made a lot, I just haven’t let all of my adoring…

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…

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…

Shopping Trip

Started early this morning putting together breakfast for Sweetie: mashed sweet potatoes, topped with frozen straw, black and blueberries and my Crazy Good No SOS Granola. 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…
