It’s Lunch.
Sunday, March 6, 2011
I never learned to appreciate the simple lunchtime staple- tuna salad. Probably because it’s normally made with mayonnaise, which I have mentioned before, is gross.
It’s Brunch.

You didn’t ever really like eggs, did you? They taste like sulfur, and who wants to be thinking about the fiery pits of Hades while dining on brunch? No one does. Try a tofu scramble even if you do normally enjoy eating chicken ovulation. This one is really quite tasty. We like it piled on [...]
Cheese Without.
Sunday, February 6, 2011
Husband grew up eating cheesesteaks on the sidewalk in South Philadelphia at one in the morning. These weren’t the cheesesteaks you get at ripoff chain restaurants or in gourmet establishments with words like “authentic!” or “Philly!” on the menu. He enjoys being vegan, but if you were to twist his arm I’m sure he’d admit [...]

Patience.

My mom can bake anything and it always comes out perfect. Like literally perfect. I don’t know how she does it, and she likes to credit good recipes rather than talent, but don’t let her fool you– the woman can bake.
They’re PB&C.

Everyone loves the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. I have occasionally heard of people that didn’t, but they were obviously just trying to be nonconformist. Since I have recently re-discovered peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies, I’ve been submitting everyone I know to forcible dessert. And now, I’ll push them on you as well:
It’s Broccoroni & Cheese.
Thursday, September 16, 2010
This won’t fool your kids into thinking it came from a blue box, but Husband and I find it rather delightful– the complete lack of cholesterol is a side bonus. We call it Broccoroni and Cheese.
No Water.

I know. Brussels Sprouts. I am aware that you may harbor profound brussels sprout-related anxiety and disgust, but please– are they really so bad? Well, when you boil or steam them, yes.
Sweet.

A few weeks ago we visited some relatives in The City where there just so happen to be scads of exclusively vegan restaurants. What the frick?
The Big Salad.

“The greatest delight the fields and woods minister is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and the vegetable. I am not alone and unacknowledged. They nod to me and I to them.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
It’s Simple.

What is it about grilling that makes food taste so much better than the indoor interpretation? I find this especially vexing since we have a gas grill, and therefore the lovely “outdoor” taste cannot be explained by charcoal or actual burning wood. Nevertheless, it’s grilling season. Let’s do this.
Naughty Naughty Grapefruit.
Friday, June 25, 2010
Have you ever caramelized grapefruit? I might have an emotional bias because I wasn’t allowed to sprinkle my grapefruit with sugar as a child, but I think it is luscious. I’m currently visiting my family and have overcome this childhood trauma by serving everyone caramelized grapefruit and watercress salads* which roughly translates to: sugar-coated grapefruit and [...]
