Fried Egg over Truffled Kale and Chickpea Puree

We’ve got lots and lots of kale and Swiss Chard in the garden that needs eating up before it flowers.  For a quick dinner side, we had it over a bean puree with feta cheese.  There was bean puree leftover the next day, so I had it with some sauteed kale drizzled with a bit [...]

Salt in a Wound.. and some stuffed tofu

It’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 [...]

Kale-Pistachio Pesto with Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes and Smokey Facon

We wanted to get rid of the kale, so we gave  the conventional basil pesto a healthy twist…. healthy until it was saturated with parmesan and butter.  Oops.  Balsamic roasted tomatoes and some green beans really filled out this orzo-based dish.

Free Form Lasagna with Butternutsquash puree, sauteed kale and mushrooms.

I thought Free Form Lasagna would be easier than regular lasagna, but it turns out that it is just as fiddly. Hmph. I suppose there probably is an easier way to go about it, ie use simpler ingredients, don’t put it in the oven after assembly, etc.  So follow the general idea not the step-by-step [...]

Vegetable Rice Bowl

Hello Beaners! Jon and I decided to look into the healthiest diet in the world, and apparently it is the Japanese diet.  While we were inspired enough to think we could do a Japanese diet for at least a month, to see how we felt, we quickly realized various pitfalls, namely that we don’t eat [...]
