I’ve got a stuffed baked potato comin’ atcha. Roasted veggies piled high. This is gonna be so totally better than any old boring ‘tater skins… But I’ve just GOT to go see my vampire boyfriend in Twilight first. So I’m headed into the city on this dreary day for a movie with a friend. I’llContinue reading “Dark Days Challenge #2 Under construction….”

I was gonna just make a thanksgiving sammich..but I had this bit of sauerkraut in my fridge, that really just needed to get out of the way (for all the other leftovers and some bread dough.) So I whipped up a thanksgiving ruben instead. For un-turkey day I made chickpea cutlets because I never didContinue reading “Leftovers schmleftovers”

Just thought I’d treat my post like my facebook update. The ninja agreed to a vegan thanksgiving, and I get to stay home and cook whatever I feel like today. There’s some broth already simmering on the stove. Slim pickings at the last Tarrytown farmer’s market last weekend, but I still have a bit ofContinue reading “Jenn is Thanking the Turkey”

OK, here goes… This is going to be a meal for me, but it’s all veggie with no grain or protein (because that’s what I had that was local.) I gathered what I could from the last Tarrytown, NY farmer’s market of the year. Lots of perfect squash and potatoes, the cauliflower had frozen, andContinue reading “Dark Days Challenge #1 Local food-Roasted veggies”

I’m no Morgan Spurlock but I think 20 days of not grocery shopping, bringing my lunch, and eating only items I already had in the house went pretty well. The fridge is emptier and the plastic storage tubs a little lighter, but I still have a ways to go. What I’m going to do startingContinue reading “From the pantry…New challenge”

It’s not just because I’m hungry, my canned lentil soup is pretty good. Yet another reason to be glad I’m cleaning out the pantry. This can o’soup expired 9/26/08, and the rice is the brown and wild rice mix I brought in for last week’s make-my-co-workers-eat-vegan-and-like-it lunch. I didn’t make enough for lunches this weekContinue reading “Pantry Raid day 20 – Health food tastes good”

I’m totally copying Tara, but with good reason. It’s Turkey time! Adopt a Turkey from the Farm Sanctuary! We both adopted Phoenix. For 25 bucks you can sponsor a Farm Sanctuary turkey! No, you don’t get to take him home, but you can make sure he’s taken care of at the awesome Watkins Glen farmContinue reading “Thanksgiving Turkey Adoption”

Yeah I know, pasta, burritos, pasta, burritos, but after a long day at the office I can whip this up in 20 minutes and I’m not popping lean cuisines into the microwave. 1. Boil water. Add salt. Add pasta. Cook until al dente. Meanwhile… I had some sage from the farmer’s market that I hadContinue reading “Pantry Raid Day 17 – Sage pasta”
