There are weekends that require sleep, and there are weekends that require a day spent cooking. This weekend absolutely required serious kitchen time, so what better way to occupy myself than cooking a proper Sunday roast? The Brits have a very old tradition of having a rather large meal Sunday evening – some say it […]
The comfort food bug has bitten us, now that nights are cooler and work is ramping up, and all we want is to dive face-first into super yummy goodness. But we’re still adhering to the rules of our new eating habits: no food with preservatives, no store-bought bread, as much as possible is to be […]
Gluten-free, fresh, homemade. Lots of us try to keep healthy by not adding processed sugars and grains to our diets, and sometimes it’s hard – especially when cravings for comfort food come in after a long day at work. When you feel the need for meatloaf but are trying not to fall into the carb […]
I have all these dishes in my head, things from my past, things I’ve dreamt about… But I don’t have recipes for any of them. So, here we are in the learning kitchen, trying to figure it all out. This time, it was the Singaporean noodles I first had at a random Howard Johnson’s in […]
We still don’t know what we’re doing with this garden, but we’ve kind of had a breakthrough: we went from a few chard leaves to about half a pound of assorted string beans, wax beans, and snap peas, plus an edible flower and some chard. Our tomato and pepper plants are flowering, and our sage […]

It wasn’t intentional, but somewhere between using My Fitness Pal and deciding to make as much as we can by scratch, we’ve ended up learning how to eat without bread. Last night was no exception: Greek chicken, homemade hummus, and […]
Yesterday’s lunch of vegan chili was spicy, so I wanted a dinner that was a little milder on the palate. Tofu to the rescue! I’m trying really hard to be more mindful of what goes into our food, right down to the frozen ingredients. So while I opted for white rice as a means of […]
We’ve been experimenting with growing things lately, making use of the long driveway that runs along our building, turning our walkway to our side stoop into a botanical Thunderdome. Growing most things from seeds, we’ve managed so far to have one salad made of mixed greens that never grew back. But last night, we took […]
I’m sure you all can tell that I’m an omnivore. But there are times when I’m just not in the mood for meat – but that won’t stop my craving for hearty comfort food. Enter this vegan risotto. Traditional risotto has you using butter and garnishing with cheese, but I managed to create the same […]
