New Planner

I know I know, it is February, and here I am posting resolutions. I have never been one to post resolutions on the blog or, frankly, make them.  If I want to make a change, I start working on it whatever time of year, and yes, have been known to abandon it anytime of year […]

{Today’s Lunchbox} 101!

February 11, 2011
Chocolate chia pudding lunchbox

Happy Friday! Friday lunchboxes are always a bit different for me.  Usually they are either super basic, or really complicated (because of a Thursday night cooking yen).  The above is the super-basic kind: Leftover quinoa with pesto and herbs minus the white beans A basic kale banana smoothie The last of the kale banana smoothie […]

February 9, 2011
Wednesday lunchbox

More great light! It makes me so happy.  Here are lunch and two snacks. Leftover red pepper and hemp seed dressing from Gena’s kale chips recipe No, not mayo, but some lemony white bean hummus.  It was good but not blogworthy, and I let it process so long in the food processor that it became […]

Monday lunchbox wraps

As I have mentioned before, Gena of Choosing Raw provides fantastic lunchbox inspiration.  She is among the bloggers that inspired me to try collard wraps months ago, so it was exciting to see her post a tutorial on how to make them recently, which now provides a great place to send people who are curious […]

Vegan Cannellini Gratin

Cannelini gratin and radicchio fennel salad

As I mentioned here, I am trying hard to streamline my approach to new recipes.  In January I focused on one cookbook and two blogs, as well as a small handful of new recipes from recipe testing and other sources.  I also relied on several repeat favorites so , while I cooked many new recipes, […]

Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger: Kelly of The Spunky Coconut

February 5, 2011

Since late December, I have been trying to streamline trying new recipes better.  I can have serious over-ambition with trying new recipes, and some Sunday afternoon and evenings turn into cooking marathons that involve two cookbooks and recipes printed out from several blogs.  Sarah of the SHU box often meal-plans from one cookbook or an […]

Today’s lunchbox consists of a lunch and two snacks: Roasted sweet potato and leftover kale stir-fry from Vegetarian Times Raspberry collards smoothie Raspberry-ish chia pudding I was feeling daring so made a smoothie with unsweetened almond milk, raspberries, collards and vanilla protein powder.  I was not that daring, as I only used a handful of […]

{Today’s Lunchbox} Angle Trouble

February 3, 2011
Thursday lunchbox - Angle Trouble

So none of the pictures of today’s lunch have a straight line where the placemat ends and the table begins.  Not that this line should be straight, but when it is this close to being straight, the angle should ensure it is either straight or not.  That said, it is still a tasty lunch and […]

Spicy Black Bean Dip

Bean Dip and Cheesy Bread

The other day, I noticed Nacho Cheese Triangles on Elana’s blog.  Commenters who avoid dairy were tossing around the idea of substituting Daiya vegan cheese.  I wondered what they would be like with nutritional yeast.  Daiya is definitely not a whole food in my book, though I do have it once in a while, so […]
