Today I have a special post featuring Know Your Ingredients (KYI) products plus a GIVEAWAY at the end, so keep reading!! 😍 🎁 If there’s one thing I learned from my mid-to-late twenties to my early thirties now is that less is more when it comes to skincare. Less products and less ingredients in those products. I used to love going …
I love trying new ingredients purely for the sake of experimentation and education. So when I saw a package of lentil flour from Joseph’s Grainery, a local favorite, I had to buy it. Lentils are a pulse and an excellent source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. A single tablespoon of lentils has a whopping 4 grams of …
I can’t believe it’s been a year since I wrote about the vole ravishing of our snap peas in last year’s CSA share, but 365 days plus a few have passed since then. We had a delicious 2015 rich with locally grown organic produce. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t worried when the CSA season ended …
Today’s smoothie is absolutely gorgeous and equally delicious. It’s composed of only 2 fruits and neither of them are bananas. While I love bananas and will probably put them in most of the smoothies I make until the end of time I’ve come to understand that some folks aren’t fond of bananas and some are even …
Happy Fermentation Friday! Today we’re veering away from sauerkrauts and beverages to look at fermented breads. Specifically sourdough bread! Sourdough has to be one of my favorites, it’s a bread I remember loving as a kid. My first affair with carbs if you will. Toasted with a bit of butter, there’s nothing better than when …
Everything bagels are everything. A chewy delectable ark of savory seasonings and seeds. I love my bagels toasted with a little Earth Balance or homemade vegan cheese. My toaster has a bagel setting that I usually skip, because crispy and chewy are the way to go. When bagels are around there’s little use for bread. Bagel sandwiches. Toasted bagels with …
Happy Fermentation Friday! Today is storytime. For me mason jar fermentation is a black hole. Where things go to die, become compost, or scattered in the backyard hoping animals will take it away. My problem is I don’t do it often enough or ever if I’m honest. You know I’m a Harsch Crock/TSM kinda girl from …
Today’s Tex-Mex Rice comes together so easily you just might think you’re at a restaurant. Try and recruit willing participants to make guacamole at your table for full-effect. Will it be as awkward? No one can say, but you should try. I debated whether to categorize this recipe as a side or a meal. I think as an …
Dehydrated and freeze-dried foods are a must for any backpacking or car camping adventure and with camping season fast approaching (hip hip hurray!), it’s the perfect time to highlight some excellent vegan camping sustenance. Thankfully there’s a wide variety of dehydrated and freeze-dried foods available that are vegan. veg·an ˈvēɡən/ • noun• a person who does not eat or …
I love a good bagel, a good toasted bagel. Vegan bagels. They should have a little crunch on the edges with a subtle chewy texture on the bite. Up until a few months ago I couldn’t remember the last time I had a bagel. Most varieties at the store contain milk and boast a long list of …
