happy pumpk-o-ween!

On October 31, 2012 By

One of the best times of year is the sticky, pump­kiny, caramelly mess that is October-November. The leaves are chang­ing, sweaters and scarves fall into heavy rota­tion and when you bake some­thing– oh my. The smells of spices and the bright, vibrant hue of pump­kin are two things I can never get enough of.

So […]

oaty oats

On November 23, 2011 By

It’s not news that I love oat­meal. Once the tem­per­a­tures drop below 50, it’s my break­fast of choice. And like other blank palettes (muffins, pan­cakes), what I really love about it is that it’s so ver­sa­tile. You never have to have the same oat­meal twice. It’s also break­fast super-fuel; full of fiber and pro­tein to […]

Along with being Hug a Veg­e­tar­ian Day, today is also Vegan Cookie Day! You have to love hol­i­days cre­ated around the con­sump­tion of treats. Espe­cially on Treat of the Week day!

If you’re look­ing for some cook­ies to cel­e­brate with, allow me to make a cou­ple of suggestions.

If you’re look­ing for some­thing a […]

black friday fuel

On November 25, 2010 By

Or lay-on-the-couch-and-watch-TV-all-day fuel. Or Tofurky-coma-hangover-need-energy-to-tolerate-family-I-only-see-this-time-of-year fuel. What­evs. It works in any scenario.

While you worry about the food for today, let me worry about the food for tomor­row. Use some of the left­over ele­ments of Thanks­giv­ing that will be lurk­ing in your fridge, des­tined to mold (ah, we all have such good inten­tions, don’t we?), […]

pumpkin overload? never!

On November 3, 2010 By

First off, I want to plug a super cool new fea­ture that Word­Press is offer­ing: Food­Press! It’s an easy way to sift and sort through the tons of food blogs hosted by Word­Press and to see some cool fea­tures that might not oth­er­wise cross your screen. Like you need another distraction.

I would love […]

it’s the great pumpkin… harry potter!

On October 26, 2010 By

I have dis­cov­ered a new-to-me bak­ing blog, and I’m hav­ing a bit of a love affair with it. Joy the Baker is charm­ing and funny, very cre­ative and dab­bles in vegan bak­ing from time to time.

As a whole, I rarely use other people’s recipes for bak­ing, but while cruis­ing on her site last weekend, […]

gobble, gobble

On November 18, 2009 By

I love Thanks­giv­ing food. Cran­ber­ries and stuff­ing? Yes, please. Some more sweet pota­toes? Pile on some bread sticks or bis­cuits and gravy and call it a day. Who could miss turkey? Thanks­giv­ing is all about the side dishes anyway.

Except for dessert. Dessert is an equally impor­tant part of Thanks­giv­ing. Nat­u­rally, one’s mind wanders […]

pump up the jam

On October 27, 2009 By

After my can­ning frenzy this sum­mer I took a break, but now I’m back in the swing of it with a fall line up of fruit but­ters in tow. First up, pump­kin butter.

Sadly, the USDA does not rec­om­mend home can­ning of pump­kin but­ter. This is because pump­kin is low in acidity […]
