Arugula & Bean Salad

When life gives you lemons… make salad dressing. I’ve been carrying some big cash around in my wallet since graduation and have been paranoid about losing it for the past week. Yesterday I went to Costco and was planning to spend some of it. However, when I opened my wallet, it was gone. I completelyContinue Reading

Cream of Asparagus and Broccoli Soup

I’m usually not a “creamy soup” person, but today called for something light yet hearty. I recently fell in love with a new cookbook: Clean Food: A Seasonal Guide to Eating Close to the Source by Terry Walters. I was intrigued by the Cream of Asparagus soup and decided to give it a try. IContinue Reading

Birthday Fajita Salad

Today is Ashley’s birthday. I asked what she would like for her birthday meal and I told her that I would make anything she wanted (of course, I would find some way to make it vegan). I had anticipated that she would ask for a cake and had already bought some powdered sugar for theContinue Reading

Lessons From My Kitchen…

For the past two years I have been a student at Antioch University earning my Masters Degree in Organizational Psychology. Yesterday I graduated.

Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sometimes you just have to give in. Give in to putting that alarm to sleep for five more minutes. Give in to going for a walk outside just to feel the sun on your face. And give in to yourself and that nagging little voice inside of you that says, “I don’t feel like goingContinue Reading

Springtime Asparagus

You wouldn’t know it these days, but it is springtime in Seattle – and spring means one thing… Asparagus! How do you like your asparagus? (or do you like asparagus?) I love it sauteed in a frying pan with a bit of Earth Balance. Or grilled on a barbeque with a little olive oil. Yum!Continue Reading

Brown Rice Farina

Ah, another rainy morning in Seattle. Hello June. I’ve really been looking forward to June this year. Not only because I graduate, but because my life is ready to be filled with the beautiful vegetables soon to arrive in my CSA. It sounds like farms around Washington are having a rainy season too. I wasContinue Reading
