This recipe was the first dish in my IMBB vegan meal.
Reading this recipe in the Artful Vegan inspired me to cook it up and try my first oyster mushrooms. The notes preceeding the recipe stated that a recently wedded couple, who are fans of the Millennium Restaurant (whose recipes make up this cookbook), requested this [...]
Leftover mashed potatoes is in itself a rarely uttered phrase in our house. We love mashed potatoes, don’t get us wrong… and there is your answer.
I made Sweets a birthday steak dinner with green beans and garlic mashed potatoes with full on butter! It was good eats. I went ahead [...]
It’s a sad thing when bad clams happen to good people- to good fish mongers to be more specific. Sweets and I went to our nearby fish mongers for halibut to curry up, and wound up with steamer clams for dinner too. I unfortunatley ignored my spidey sense as we had our clams [...]
Making mini portions of a recipe is such a fun little trick! You feel like you’re being good by having a smaller portion, when in actuality you probably eat three times as much, because little food items are sooo scrumptiously cute.
Bagels are a fun item to make small because then they seem similar to [...]
Last night, Sweets and I went to a potluck party for a former coworker re-visiting Eugene from France. One thing I’ve noticed of my French and German coworkers, is their appreciation for good fruit. My French coworker, Estelle would often bring in cooked-fruit plum or cherry fruit tarts to share with us at [...]
I have to admit… the verdict is still out on whether or not these quesadillas need cheese or not. Yes, I realize that calling them quesadillas and not having cheese in them is rather, odd, but that’s often how things swing here in Eugene. There is a rather high number of cheeseless [...]
This month’s IMBB event celebrates the simple joy of eggs. Eggs are one of the most versatile ingredients of cooking, serving as a highlighted player, or blending into the mysteries of wonderful baked goods. As any converting vegan knows, giving up eggs in ones diet is a difficult task!
I choose the simple route [...]
A new pick this time around at Eugene’s Tuesday Farmers’ market is troll-caught North Pacific Premium Albacore by the fishing vessel Pisces. This couple once sold their handpacked tuna and salmon to area grocery stores, but soon grew disappointed with the effects of high markups. “We want our fish to available for everyone, [...]
This recipe is courtesy of one of my favorite recipebooks organized by my Mom, at Willamette University. I have the great fortune of having a mother who is a wonderful cook, and who has also accomplished the task of creating a community cookbook with her co-workers at Willamette University titled Culinary Delights and [...]
I came to our Saturday Market with an agenda to pick up produce for making meatballs. My well laid out plans got hi-jacked by my favorite jelly stand, Byrd’s Basket when I stopped to see what was new this weekend. I unfortuantley missed out on the pommegranate jelly, but I got pulled in [...]
