Banana Blueberry Smoothie

We’re well overdue for some smoothie lovin’ on this site. I love how smoothies are so gosh-darn easy and filling. You can generally throw whatever you’ve got in the blender and, unless you really ham it up, you’ve got yourself a super tasty, nourishing glass of goodness. Smoothies have always got my back when: ● [...]

Fig & Grape Quinoa Salad

I wasn’t planning on sharing this with you just yet because I’m not 100% happy with the photos. Yes, I am actually that vain. I knew the stores would be closed today for Good Friday, so yesterday I got me some dried cannellini beans, chard, and pearled barley, with a vague plan to creating something [...]

Luxury Mesquite Hot Cross Buns

It took me five batches to nail this recipe. Thankfully I’ve had the house to myself most of the weekend so I’ve been able to go hard, mixing, melting, kneading and proofing over and over. The kitchen is a total write off. I’ve never made such a mess. But I don’t care because these buns [...]

Roasted Chickpea Stew

I was grocery shopping a few days ago and came across a splendid assortment of squash that have just come into season. There were squat little round and big fat ones, stretched ones and twisted ones, fiery orange, mild yellow and rich green ones. A squash to suit every mood or personality. Of course, being [...]

Their home is in a humble farming village called Bankor, close to the Laos border. A beautiful spot where the water buffalos still rule the rice paddies and [...]

Dark Chocolate Ginger Scones

Sometimes I get fixated on an inspiration or recipe for days. But, like a dog with a bone, I only obsess until I find something prettier and shinier and forget why I wanted it so bad in the first place. This week it was passionfruit curd. I stumbled across the recipe online and could already [...]

Early Autumn Minestrone

Dear Autumn, You may or may not have heard through the grapevine that I recently said I hate you. That’s probably because I did. Anyhow, this letter is to inform you that I’ve changed my mind. You see, I’ve been having so much fun lately with Summer, just eating, drinking, traveling and generally horsing around, [...]

Vegetarian Chili for the Soul

I made this chili last thanksgiving, rather frantically, when I realized about an hour out that all our guests were bringing either salad or dessert dishes (myself included!) to our pot luck dinner. It was a frantic throw together using the pulses/grains I had in the pantry to create a main dish that I hoped [...]
