Terrific on Tuesdays: Mac-No-Cheese Two Ways

In case you couldn’t tell, I was pretty excited about making vegan mac and “cheese” a few weeks ago, so I did make the recipe a second time (using about 1.5 cups of soft tofu instead of the squash, which I didn’t have on hand). This time, I decided to divvy up my batches and […]

Delicious Tomato Quiche

Regular readers know that I’m big into quiche. To me, it’s just such an easy food to throw together with whatever vegetables you have around the house. It looks fancy, but it’s really easy and pretty fast to put together. A few months ago, The New York Times featured a recipe for a tomato quiche that sounded […]

Salade de Carrottes Râpées (Shredded Carrot Salad, French Style)

On Sunday, I posted some photos of the cooking I was doing. Today, I want to tell you a little bit more about the carrot salad I made. The classic French carrot salad can be as simple as grating carrots and tossing them with a little lemon juice, sugar, and oil, but I’m rather partial […]

From the Photo Archives: Beet and Beet Green Salad with Shallots and Pine Nuts

I love cooking, and I love photography—but sometimes I don’t have time to share my photos on the blog. I’m delving back into my photo back-log to bring you posts about things that happened long enough ago that I don’t remember the exact  details. These are my approximate recollections.  Back in the fall, my friend […]

Fast Fridays: Roast Sweet Potato, Kale, and Apple

In the winter, I’m a huge fan of roasting vegetables in the oven for a fast dish. I like to simply combine them and let them do their thing. One of the dishes I’ve made recently is simply diced sweet potatoes (skin on, 3/4-1 inch pieces), diced apples (same size), and kale (torn into approximately […]
