Black Bean Soup: Pressure Cooker Recipe

The soup saga continues with this delicious black bean soup. It is one I had been craving for a while, and whose simplicity is unmatched. Initially the soup seemed too thin so I had to adjust the recipe a bit to result in a thicker soup, but it all worked out in the end. TheContinue reading “Black Bean Soup: Pressure Cooker Recipe”

Lemony Pea Risotto with Dill Cashew Cream

We LOVE risotto. However, I rarely make it because it is so much work. Which is your advanced warning – this recipe takes time, but is ultimately worth it in the end. Risotto is also a once in a while dish to me since it is so rich and creamy. I like to give myselfContinue reading “Lemony Pea Risotto with Dill Cashew Cream”

Carrot, Squash, and Lentil Soup

I have really been trying to step out of my soup comfort zone lately, which means wading into the waters of lentil soup. Lentil soup is always one I’ve avoided because when it’s bad, it’s real bad. Still I took the leap. I wanted something that was hearty and would warm me in the lateContinue reading “Carrot, Squash, and Lentil Soup”

Butternut Squash and Jackfruit Enchiladas

The Mexican food scene in Burlington is bleak at best. It has a very casual tex-mex vibe, with minimal gluten free and vegan options. While this works for some, it hasn’t for me. I miss greasy midwestern Mexican with endless baskets of chips and salsa (which I know is also not authentic). All this hasContinue reading “Butternut Squash and Jackfruit Enchiladas”

Grandma’s Cabbage Soup

It’s soup season in Vermont y’all!!!! We are set to have highs in the 50s and 60s this week and I couldn’t be happier. I have been waiting for this for weeks. I don’t mean to kiss summer goodbye so quickly, I know winter’s icy breathe is just around the next corner and I amContinue reading “Grandma’s Cabbage Soup”

Gritty Corn Bread Muffins

I am maybe possibly, slightly, a little obsessed with corn. It is just so sweet and delicious and the way it bursts in your mouth. Amazing. Plus you can make it in so many different ways…. maybe I will do a whole corn series… but that’s another thing entirely. Corn is a staple grain thatContinue reading “Gritty Corn Bread Muffins”

Grilled Vegetable Pesto Salad

The farm I am working for has had an abundance of basil this July – I’m talking pound upon pound of the stuff. And basil is light! It is in such great abundance that we have started selling in in a quantity called “pesto basil”, which is awesome because it is difficult to find thatContinue reading “Grilled Vegetable Pesto Salad”

Lammas: A Celebration of Abundance

While shorter days signify the ending of summer, they also signify one of my seasonal traditions – harvest feasts! Lammas, or Lughnasdah/Lughnasa, is the first harvest season in the wheel of the year and it occurs on August 1 – right in the middle of summer. It is a holiday rooted in Celtic Pagan traditionsContinue reading “Lammas: A Celebration of Abundance”

Lentil Cauliflower Taco “meat”

I eat tacos at least once a week. They are in my top 5 favorite foods, particularly because tacos are incredibly diverse. I could eat tacos for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and have a different flavor experience each time. However, this lentil quinoa taco “meat” is one of my absolute favorite fillings. It pairs easilyContinue reading “Lentil Cauliflower Taco “meat””

Spicy Black Bean Burgers

It has been alarmingly warm for February/March this week. Suspicions aside, warmer weather never fails to make me crave a good veggie burger. I set out to make a vegan black bean burger that actually held up on a grill pan, and alas! I succeeded. The corn meal and flax seeds did most of theContinue reading “Spicy Black Bean Burgers”
