Roasted Garlic
Filed in Vegan, Vegetarian, , 16:25Roasted garlic emanates a sweet, nutty flavour rather than the usual harsh taste attributed to fresh garlic. It is simple to do, and can be a versatile addition to sauces and spreads. I roasted a head of garlic today and mixed it with thyme and cream cheese for a Tomato and Roasted Garlic Cream Cheese [...]
TexMex Salad with Creamy Jalapeno Lime Dressing
Filed in Dinner, Gluten Free, Salad, Vegetarian, lunch, 17/02/2010, 16:07A filling salad for lunch or dinner. I didn’t know what to call it, and I’m not completely convinced this salad falls into the Tex-Mex category, but it seemed to fit the best.

Butternut Squash, Spinach, Brie, and Mushroom Stuffed Crepes/Pancakes with Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes
Filed in Dinner, Vegetarian, 16/02/2010, 21:55It’s PANCAKE DAY!!!!! English pancakes only today, because that is the tradition. Though we typically eat these with some lemon juice, orange juice, and sugar, I went the savory route today. Thanks to years of practice flipping pancakes with the Metclan, these turned out okay with no disasters.

First Try- Homemade Granola
Filed in Vegetarian, breakfast, , 16:46I tried to make my own granola today, for the first time. It was good, but I did learn a few things..
1. Don’t cook for 45 mins
2. When trying a baking recipe out for the first time, make small quantities.
My granola was slightly overcooked, and I think that has to do with the 45 min [...]
Gruyere and Chive Gougères- the David Lebovitz recipe
Filed in Appetizer, Baking, Vegetarian, 15/02/2010, 16:36A while ago- around Thanksgiving, I posted my first attempt at Gougères. I followed a recipe from Eggs on Sunday that worked very well. Today I decided to try a different version, that of the famed-foodie known as David Lebovitz. His recipe doesn’t require milk and is less eggy. The Gougères are firmer and crunchier, [...]
Valentines Weekend- Lemon butter artichokes and Spaghetti with Slow Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
Filed in Appetizer, Dinner, Meal Plans, Vegan, Vegetarian, , 16:17This weekend we retreated to the Chesapeake Bay, because our lives are so stressful. But in all honesty, job hunting gets depressing so we went away, bought lots of yummy food, and watched Harry Potter. There are no weekend egg pots this week as I got breakfast in bed.
For dinner on [...]
Tempeh Bourguignon with Parsley-Chive Dumplings
Filed in Dinner, Vegan, Vegetarian, 12/02/2010, 14:24This Tempeh Bourguignon recipe comes from the Moosewood cookbook. It was so delicious and very easy. I made very few adaptions, only substitutes due to a lag in some ingredients. The recipe calls for fresh thyme which I didn’t have, so I compensated with a dried herb mix. It also recommends dijon mustard, which [...]
Caramelized Onions, Sauteed Spinach, Gooey Brie and Plum Chutney Sandwich
Filed in Vegetarian, lunch, sandwiches, 10/02/2010, 16:51Yes, sandwich posts are a bit of a cop out, but I love sandwiches. Speaking of cop outs, it’s pizza for dinner tonight- take out. We are in the midst of a giant taste test, that is we are trying to figure out who has the best pizza in Harrisonburg, Virginia. To be honest, I’m [...]
What to Do with Leftover Chinese Food
Filed in Dinner, Soup, Vegan, Vegetarian, 09/02/2010, 00:00On Thursday (?) we ordered Chinese food. Jon got General Tso’s Tofu and I got steamed veggies and tofu (yes, I am one of those). Of course we didn’t finish it all, so we had a bunch of left overs. Today we reused them- we stir fried the steamed veggies and tofu medley with garlic, [...]
