Quick Pickled Cauliflower and Fennel

Posted on July 28, 2012 by Sonnet Lauberth • 2 Comments

I have a confession.  I think this is only the second time I’ve eaten cauliflower in the last five years.  (And for someone who is obsessed with eating veggies, that is a big deal.) Here’s the issue… I don’t really like cauliflower.  I don’t think it tastes bad, but I just don’t like the texture.… Continue Reading

I can usually tell when life starts to feel a bit hectic and unpredictable because I start craving soup.  Soup was the first thing I ever learned how to cook and it has been a longtime standby in my kitchen.  It doesn’t matter if it is the middle of summer… soup can be an incredible… Continue Reading

Spicy Carrots

  Every year for the past five years I have promised myself that I would make a raw cashew cheesecake for my birthday.  And every year I have failed.  Apparently this year is no different.  Somehow I really thought things would be different this time around.  But, apparently if given the choice between dessert and… Continue Reading

CSA: Community Supported Agriculture

By now you all know that I am a big advocate of eating locally and seasonally as much as possible.  And if I haven’t gotten you to shop at the farmers market already, then I just don’t know what to do…  Except, maybe, introduce you to a CSA?  (wink, wink) CSA stands for Community Supported… Continue Reading

Mizuna Salad with Roasted Cherries and Balsamic Glaze

Once in awhile a recipe comes along that changes my world.  This happened a few months ago when I discovered the beauty that is pineapple fried quinoa.  As a result of this discovery I think I ate enough pineapples over the winter to feed a small island.  And then there was this tahini broccoli salad with… Continue Reading

In our neighborhood we have seven different cats that roam around being adorable and causing trouble.  Lucky for me, my desk sits right next to our kitchen window where 24/7 I have a live show of sleeping cats and feline mischief happening in the neighbor’s yard.  Today, that mischief involved a squirrel.This crazy little squirrel kept jumping… Continue Reading

Southwest Salad with Jalapeno Avocado Lime Dressing

It’s time to kick off summer.  It’s time to put your hair in a ponytail, pull out the beach towels, and get out in the sun.  It’s time for watermelon slices, corn on the cob, and picnics.  I think this also means it’s time for picnic foods… easy dishes that you can share with friends… Continue Reading

Teriyaki Tempeh and Veggies

I think it’s time that we talked tempeh.  Have you tried tempeh before?  In case you haven’t or in case you have no idea what I am talking about, let me clue you in.  Tempeh is cooked and fermented soy beans that have had a bacteria starter added to them and then were held at… Continue Reading
