Chickpeas and Dandelion Greens
Early in the Spring, my CSA often included dandelion greens, so I’m always look for new ways to cook this bitter herb. The week of this dish, however, we just chomped through all of our lettuces and greens so quickly that I was out in the yard harvesting our homegrown dandelion greens by the weekend! [...]

Junk: Mac & Cheese, with Bacos and Jalapenos
Come on people, we all occasionally eat junk. I’m just being honest about it. This is what I ate the other weekend, in bed, while watching Neflix. Annie’s organic Mac & Cheese (at least it wasn’t Kraft) topped with crunchy vegan bacos and a healthy number of pickled jalapenos. I probably dumped some hot sauce [...]

Fu Wah Tofu Hoagie
How is it that I’ve never talked about the Fu Wah Tofu Hoagie? Famous through West Philadelphia, this is no bahn mi – it’s made on a soft, short hoagie roll, not a crispy french baguette. In between those soft buns nestles sweet soy marinated tofu, pickled carrots and daikon, dressed with siracha, fresh cilantro [...]

Shirred Tofu at Local 44
Local 44 has a great beer selection, but in the past, I found their menu a lacking – a little too bar munchie. While they still sway towards comfort food, they’ve really upped their meal game, and like the other restaurants owned by this duo (Resurrection Ale House, Memphis Taproom) there are plenty of vegetarian [...]

Dilled Green Beans with Seitan
What a long, strange trip it’s been. In the last month I’ve traveled to Indiana, New Orleans, Berlin, Michigan and Ohio, and I’ve made good friends with the Detroit airport. Needless to say, I’m behind. But I promise to catch up fast, both with my travels and with some of the delicious spring lunches and [...]

Cauliflower Soup with Cashew Cream and Spinach Garlic Pesto
I just received Heidi Swanson’s new cookbook “Super Natural Everyday,” in the mail. I pre-ordered this cookbook months ago, and was so excited when it arrived! Look for many upcoming posts about “Everyday.” Meanwhile, I’ve still been making my way through her first cookbook, “Super Natural Cooking.” The above soup has three simple steps – [...]

Red Lentil Coconut Curry
I’ve never made a lentil curry before, but this recipe from Simply in Season, with coconut milk, red lentils, cauliflower, sweet potato, cabbage and frozen peas, was calling to me. Like a traditional dahl, this curry cooked into a very soft, comforting almost-stew, bit a little bit of bite in the cabbage. The flavor was [...]

Soba Noodles with King Mushroom, “Beef” and vegetables
Another meal made awesome by H-Mart. On my last trip I picked up a few basics – giant bottles of soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil. Also soba and ramen noodles. And, of course, produce. I know its not seasonal or local, but its still kind of winter here and I was craving mushrooms. [...]

Catalyst Juice Cleanse – Day 3
I have to tell you folks, I hit a bit of a wall. After my noon body pump class, and into the afternoon, I was HUNGRY. But I made it. And when my fresh juice got dropped off in the evening, John (an owner of Catalyst) suggested that I have the cashew milk juice – [...]
