Chickpeas 2 Ways

April 30, 2008

When I made my ‘Saag Casserole’ last week it called for gram flour, which is made from chickpeas and unrelated to Graham flour, as a thickener. I was hoping to find it in the bulk section, which is where I usually buy miscellaneous whole grains, flours, and nuts that I don’t plan to use regularly. [...]

Almost Vegan Taco Salad

April 29, 2008

While enjoying lunch over the weekend with my boyfriend and his friends at a local Tex-Mex restaurant called Rudy’s I spotted a bubbling bowl of Chile con Queso on the table of the couple seated next to us. While I didn’t order it, it did slap me with a HUGE craving. It seemed like the [...]

Peanut Butter Mud Pie

April 28, 2008

When people ask me about my diet I usually say that I eat nutritious food 90% of the time and allow for ‘fun food’ the other 10%. This dessert definitely falls into that 10%. I actually earmarked this recipe for Peanut Butter Mud Pie from The Buttercup Bake Shop Cookbook when I was looking for [...]

Light Dinner: Eating Well’s Caesar Salad with Shrimp

April 24, 2008

Today I got a lovely delivery at work from one of my thoughtful vendors.  It was a huge crate of cakes and cookies from a local baking company.  I swear whenever I get a package like that my inner cavewoman comes out.  I tend to overindulge and before I know it my tummy is overstuffed [...]

Double Chocolate Banana Baked Oatmeal

April 22, 2008

I’ve been experimenting with various baked oatmeal recipes ever since I first saw a post on the dish on KathEats.com. It’s such an easy recipe to adapt based on what you have on hand that I never make it the same way twice. Typically I make mine with cow’s milk, but this morning all I [...]

Productive Weekend = Delicious Weeknight Meals

April 21, 2008

This weekend I surprisingly had NO scheduled plans so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to cozy up with my cookbooks and get excited about my meals for the upcoming week. I absolutely love having the opportunity to plan ahead because I find the process of choosing what to make and buying the ingredients just [...]

Weekend Breakfast: Blueberry Walnut Buttermilk Pancakes

April 19, 2008

Last Sunday I was craving pancakes so when I went out to brunch with my boyfriend and one of his friends I entered the restaurant knowing that was what I would order. Surprisingly, there were no pancakes on the menu so I had to settle for croque-madame, which was delicious, but not really what I [...]

Moo Shu Chicken Calzones

April 16, 2008

If there is anything that sounded like it wouldn’t go together it’s Hoisin Sauce and Mozzarella Cheese. Even my boyfriend (and frequent taste tester) was less than enthusiastic.“I guess that could work,” he told me skeptically. However, something still intrigued me about the Moo Shu Chicken Calzone recipe from The California Pizza Kitchen Cookbook. Perhaps [...]
