Food trends- roasted cauliflower
Filed in Dinner, Side, Vegetarian, 29/04/2010, 21:21Yes, yes we all know that roasting makes vegetables delicious. Roasted cauliflower and broccoli have been all over foodgawker, tastespotting, and photograzing for months, and I am finally giving up and posting about it. To make this post slightly innovate, I mixed the breaded cauliflower with balsamic capers (haha)!!!! Inspiration for this post came from [...]
Salt in a Wound.. and some stuffed tofu
Filed in Dinner, Vegetarian, 28/04/2010, 20:23It’s the end of April in Boston and frankly (my dear), the weather is crap. The past couple of days have been rainy, grey, and cold. As if to add insult to injury, I was scouring a few of my favourite food blogs today and came across VARIOUS posts about all the zucchini blossoms, heirloom [...]
Cakes on a Plane, Superdog
Filed in Baking, Vegetarian, dessert, 27/04/2010, 22:53This weekend was the first time I saw Jon since before his birthday. I like to make him a cake for his bday. The first one was a zombie cake, then a chola cake, and now a Spaghetti and Meatball cake. So far, none have trumped the zombie cake (see favourite photos). But to be [...]
Poached Egg over Roasted Root Veggies
Filed in Dinner, Gluten Free, Side, Vegan, Vegetarian, 20/04/2010, 20:58There was a lot of us at Sunday dinner this week, so we thought doing a big roast of root veggies would be the easiest way to go. We included parsnips, rutabaga (swede), butternut squash, beets, red onion, pearl onions, garlic, and carrots. I had leftovers for lunch the next day with a poached egg [...]
Pine Nut Crusted Tofu stuffed with Pesto and Slow Roasted Tomato
Filed in Dinner, Vegan, Vegetarian, 19/04/2010, 09:36I’m particularly proud of this post because this dish was very experimental. Usually experimental attempts go very wrong. But it didn’t- it was fantastic!!! Yes it may look like the tofu is vomiting squid ink, but the pesto sort of baked through the tofu and gave it a nice texture, and the pine nut and [...]

Weeknight Meals: A montage of Veggies
Filed in Dinner, Gluten Free, Vegetarian, 14/04/2010, 22:04I find it difficult to make pretty looking food in the middle of the week. Also, I’m in a bit of a rut at the moment because I’m tired of pasta, quinoa, and couscous. I really don’t want any grains at the moment, so tonight I filled up on potato. This dish showcases pretty much [...]
Smokey Tofu Scramble with mixed Veggies
Filed in Brunch, Gluten Free, It's the weekend!!!!, Vegan, Vegetarian, breakfast, 12/04/2010, 21:48I’ve been over-egging lately, so here is a vegan alternate- the tofu scramble. My dad tried it and said if he was told it was scrambled eggs, he wouldn’t of thought any different. So there you have it! I used left over scraps of veggies from the tian, I think there was even a bit [...]
Funny Vegetables
Filed in Dinner, Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian, 10/04/2010, 11:15I was sort of hoping that these funny vegetables would inspire some innovative and creative dish, but instead I ended up with a vegetable tian with basil oil and parmesan, oh well. It was nowhere near as filling as the last tian- there’s less starch in this one, so make sure to accompany it with [...]
Advice on biking, eating eggs mid week.
Filed in Brunch, Gluten Free, Vegetarian, breakfast, 08/04/2010, 18:33I did the unthinkable today- ate an egg mid week!!! This goes against my traditions, eggs are for the weekend. But let me explain, I thought it would be okay since I bike to work and home every day, so needed some extra protein, as a supplement to my bug consumption that has increased exponentially [...]
