Review: Hummus Place (Again)

laurel — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 23:09:58 +0000

Greetings from Florida! I’m working in FL for the next few weeks, and I’m really enjoying the warm weather, sunshine, and time with friends. It doesn’t even feel like winter here. I laid out by the pool yesterday for Pete’s sake. I’m here to work, but I’m determined to enjoy myself too. Almost exactly one [...]

Ya know how I was talking about centering your meal around vegetables? Here’s an easy, healthy veggie wrap I made that’s great for a light lunch or dinner. I’ve been eating them every day this week, and they only take 5 minutes to prepare. Adding lots of tasty spreads and a dash of salt and [...]

Let’s face it, I love curry. All kinds. I fell in love with curry as a kid. My dad makes a Southern style yellow curry with chicken, celery, onions, butter, flour, and stock that I used to beg him to make. I’ve still never tasted anything like it. He makes it very strong with lots [...]

Vegan Alfredo Sauce

I invited some friends over for dinner last Sunday and was having such a hard time deciding what to make. It’s so frustrating when that happens! After brainstorming for a day or two I decided on a creamy pasta dish with vegetables. I wanted it to be delicious and comforting but also vegan. After scouring [...]

Vegetarian Chili

laurel — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 23:23:39 +0000

I’ve been meaning to share this vegetarian chili recipe for awhile now, so here it finally is! I like thick chilis loaded with ingredients and extra vegetables to make it thick and pleasing for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. The mushrooms and zucchini are non-traditional additions but I think they really make it great. Try [...]

It’s Monday again and I’m back with the “Focus on Food” blog series. Today’s feature is one of my favorite versatile green vegetables: arugula.

Last night I made a vegetarian/vegan Pasta Fagioli. I had been traveling for a couple of weeks and was so happy to get back in the kitchen to make a real meal. As usual, I made a very large pot of soup so my boyfriend and I would have leftovers for the week. I used [...]

Corn Chowder

Fall weather is here in New York and I am so ready to rock some sweaters and make tons of soup! Last night I made a corn chowder with potatoes, frozen corn, and coconut milk. It’s pretty similar in flavor to the Spicy Corn Soup I made during the Cold Weather Recipes blogathon, but this [...]
