The First Crop of Summer, and What I’ve Been Doing Lately

I haven’t written in a while.  It was a toss up between studying for exams and writing here, and, well, something had to fall by the wayside.  Then I moved house, with all the packing and unpacking that entails.  Let’s just say it’s been a busy month.
However, I’m all settled in now and I love my new [...]

Grilled Veggie Salad

I have a new baby- no, not that kind of baby!  My baby is black and shiny, and nonstick.  My baby is Teflon.  And she is one sexy mama, grilling up all kinds of delectable vegetable and tofu wonderfulness in seconds (OK, minutes) flat.

The cookie [...]

If Naples met the Bronx…

And had a one night stand, these Calzones would be their love child.  I’m not joking.
The filling is onions, garlic, mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, and sundried tomatoes, mixed with tofu feta cheese, pizza sauce, and gooey mozzarella. A scrumptious combination, all hidden inside the golden crispy crust. Mmmm….

But I can’t take all the credit. This is [...]
