Ok, ok. I admit it - I’ll say it loudly and boldly - I LOVE ROASTED GREEN BEANS. I can’t keep off of ‘em, either. There is just something so enticing about the roasting process - the way the delicious aroma permeates the house; the golden-browned glistening that roasting imbues to veggies; the cute little way that the [...]

Tonight was Middle-Eastern night at our place, and we enjoyed some of our favorite flavors — garlick-y (hummus), salty (olives), and spicy (felafel)— all wrapped in a warm flatbread with some freshly cut veggies tossed in, and a lick of tehina spread. This is Israeli fast-food - mmm, goood. Normally, felafels (chickpea croquettes) are fried in a [...]

Whenever I want to put a quick and delicious cake together. I always turn to this recipe from Beth Kidder’s The Milk-Free Kitchen. There’s no dairy products used to make it; in fact, it’s completely vegan, using no eggs either. But moist and tasty? Yes indeed, and instantly loved by all who’ve eaten it. Enjoy!

After all the good eating I’ve done during this past week while I’ve been away, I am practically in a food coma. I came home and immediately knew that I needed to eat something wholesome, light, healthy, and cleansing. What could be better than an Israeli salad?

Steamed broccoli is so good by itself, and acts like a sponge for any dressing or sauce that is delivered to it. Next time you steam some broccoli, try making this quick and easy Asian vinagrette and pour it over top. I modified this recipe from The Best of Fine Cooking 101 Tips (which I can’t [...]

Overlooked, ignored, and often maligned, the parsnip is a noble little vegetable, full of subtle flavor and substance. In this recipe, it is pureed, and because it is a root vegetable, it imparts a wonderful earthiness. For something different and surprisingly delicious, try pureed parsnips instead of mashed potatoes next time you are looking for a [...]

After my New Year’s brunch, I was looking for something chocolate-y for dessert. I had a hankering for my soy cheesecake to boot, so i decided to make the cheesecake with a sinful chocolate topping. It worked very well, and disappeared shortly after serving. Every last piece!

1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup maple syrup

I am not a vegetarian, but I love eating vegetarian meals. That was exactly what we were all in the mood for tonight. I started with my favorite tomato sauce, and then started adding, and adding, and clearing out my fridge. You could call it a concoction, but we all called it delicious. (Let me [...]
