Vegetarian Chili with Green Beans

November 30, 2007

Veggie Chili was always a staple in my house growing up. We may not have had meat, but you know I’ve sung the praises of morningstar farms more than once, and chili brought out the best in MF’s “veggie crumbles.” Yea yea, it sounds really unappetizing, but trust me, it’s amazing. Obviously if you’re not [...]

Pay it Forward

November 28, 2007

Believe it or not, there are a gazillion blogging events out there. From Daring Bakers, to “waiter, there’s something in my…” to “heart of the matter” to … gosh, they never end! That said, I’ve found the event to end all events: Pay It Forward! Here’s how it works: I will send a handmade gift [...]

Indian, round 1: Potato and Eggplant Curry

November 27, 2007

I know, I know. “Indian food? Scary!” But really, it’s not all that scary.

See? Not so [...]

How was your Tday?

November 25, 2007

Mine was wonderful. We spent the morning hours curled up on the couch, watching the parade and drinking chai. We stopped being lazy in time to have meal #1 with my friend and her family at 2 pm. Don’t be deceived by the early hour: they had the largest Turkey I’ve ever seen, stuffed with [...]

Chocolate Souffle, much improved!

November 20, 2007

Ghirardelli in the double boiler, egg whites in the mixer, and D asking for Duncan Hines yellow cake to no avail…it all can only mean one thing: chocolate soufflé. That’s right folks, I’m at it again. Major differences between my first attempt and this recipe were the amounts of egg whites, milk, cream, and chocolate. [...]

A Very Vegetarian Thanksgiving

November 18, 2007

Having spent 22 Thanksgivings with my family, I’ve seen my fair share of crowded dinner tables, overstuffed tummies and packed fridges. This year will be no exception. As promised, the array of dishes that my mom and I made for Thursday’s feast is so vast, turkey simply will not be missed. We planned a menu [...]
