Flax Seed Crackers

August 29, 2008

This recipe for Flax Seed Crackers represented my first experiment with raw cooking.  I’ve been intrigued by it for awhile but have never dabbled until now.  My initial plan was to do one raw meal each week during the summer but raw cookbooks were so popular at my library that my copies did not finally arrive until [...]

Smokey Two Bean Soup

August 28, 2008

After a week of enjoying delicious, but very indulgent food while in Minnesota, I came back to Boston craving vegetables. While my initial inclination was to plan for a week of big salads, the current bout of cool weather made soup sound more appealing. When you’re trying to eat healthy and maintain your weight soup [...]

Playing with Tofu

August 27, 2008

If you couldn’t tell by the list of books I am cooking from, I’m a bit of a recipe collector. I love picking up cookbooks from the library and as a result I have a never ending to-make list of recipes. Because of this, I don’t end up experimenting as much as I would like, [...]

Wine Tasting in the North Star State: Alexis Bailly Vineyard

August 24, 2008

smcgee/flickr There are certain things I associate with Minnesota, the state where I spent my first 18 years: Dairy Queen, hotdish, corn dogs fresh at the Minnesota State Fair, etc., but wine, eh….not so much. Imagine my surprise when a Minnesota vineyard was featured in Food & Wine. With its 45 national awards I knew [...]

Lemon-Blueberry Muffin

August 20, 2008

I love cooking in my parents’ kitchen.  Compared to my teeny galley kitchen, my parents’ kitchen with its oversized island and ample cabinet space feels luxurious.  Yesterday night before I went to bed my mother asked if I would mind making blueberry muffins with her in the morning.  She had bookmarked the recipe days ago, [...]

Another Break from the Kitchen

August 18, 2008

I’m hanging up my oven mitts again for a week as I am visiting family for my cousin’s wedding.  Well, in all truth I will probably be doing some cooking for my family while I’m home, but I am sure it won’t be as much as I normally would. Before I left though I got [...]

Chucula/Masato (Ripe Plantain Drink)

August 15, 2008

I’ve always been curious about plantains.  I enjoy eating them when I’m out at a restaurant, but find them intimidating when cooking at home.  It usually goes something like this:  I get excited about a recipe including plantains;  I go to the grocery store to get the goods for the recipe, but forget whether I [...]

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

August 14, 2008

As I’ve mentioned before, I am lucky in that my company has a fantastic cafeteria but I don’t care for their chocolate chip cookies. They are always too crisp, too sweet, or unbalanced in their ratio of dough to chips. This recipe, which I actually tried for the first time this week, is more up [...]

Chocolate Chip Brownie Waffles

August 10, 2008

Yesterday my boyfriend and I were invited to attend the wedding of one of his college buddies.  Unfortunately it involved a 9:30 am ceremony and a three hour drive, which meant we had to set the alarm for 5:30 am.  Neither one of us was pleased to be waking up this early on the weekend. [...]
