This Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler is kind of accidentally raw and gluten free. I got some lovely strawberries and rhubarb from the farmers marker.  I had planned to bake it, but it just happened that the other ingredients I had on hand were also raw.  So voila, super healthy dessert (or breakfast.)  The soy whipped creamContinue reading “Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler (Raw and Gluten Free if you want to…)”

Yup.  More avocado and sprouts… Kaiware are daikon radish sprouts.  They’re pretty potently spicy all alone, but really perk up the same old avocado rolls.  I’m no expert sushi roller, and you don’t even need to spring $3 for the rolling mat.  A piece of wax paper or a dish towel works just fine, too.Continue reading “Kaiware avocado sushi”

I was missing the California Burrito Grande from Boca Grande in Cambridge, MA. I’ve been sprouting alfalfa (and adzuki beans, fennel, and daikon radish, but more on those later,) and the California Burrito Grande seemed like the perfect showcase for alfalfa sprouts.  I made this for my mom last weekend and she enjoyed it too.  TheContinue reading “California Burrito Grande”

Yeah I’ve made bean cutlets before, but I’ve cooked so little blog worthy stuff lately, I had to throw them in again.  So much easier than going the whole boil-or-bake seitan from scratch route.  I use the v-con chickpea cutlets as inspiration, but they’re never exactly the same twice.  Key ingredients are beans, wheat gluten,Continue reading “Black Eyed Pea cutlets”

I don’t even know what to call this…avocado rancheros, avocado salsa in a tortilla bowl, experimental avocado breakfast gone right?  Whatever.  It was super delicious. There may or may not be an actual trick for making a flour tortilla puff up and get just the right amount of crispy, but my toaster oven sure knewContinue reading “Avocado breakfast tortilla?”

So I’m cleaning out a closet trying to balance being a Doomsday Prepper  and a Minimalist.  I’ve clearly been watching too much Nat Geo and reading too many feng shui e-books…    Doomsday Prepper Minimalist food supply:  Dried beans; check.  Rice; check.  Water; enough for a few days and stuff that will hopefully purify the Hudson River;Continue reading “Doomsday Prepper or Miss Minimalist? and some Rye Bread…”

My cousin sent me some ghost peppers fresh from his plants in LA.  This fiery monster’s official name is Bhut Jolokia and it is touted to be the world’s hottest pepper. I sauteed up a small one with the Gardein, and although it has a nice smooth pungent spicy smoky flavor, I ate a wholeContinue reading “Ghost Peppers & Gardein Soft Tacos”

If you’re on Facebook you can hardly miss someone posting the the photos of the mysterious pink mechanically separated meat. If you want all the fun without all the grossness, check out Gardein’s Crispy tenders.  It’s been awhile since I’ve had an actual McNugget, but these make a pretty good substitute.  Mmm bbq sauce…    I’mContinue reading “Gardein Crispy Tenders”
