Citrus Ginger Kale and Tofu Salad

Jan 13, 2014 | By Melissa

This is the best salad I’ve had in months. It is, in fact, the first way I have ever genuinely liked tofu. Ever. I mean I eat tofu from time to time, but mostly I am tolerating it for the sake of protein. I don’t really know why I liked this so much…I think it […]

Ginger Tamarind Brussels Sprouts

Jan 05, 2014 | By Melissa

You guys, I just can’t seem to get enough of brussels sprouts this season! I keep finding new, awesome recipes to try! My husband, barely tolerant of brussels sprouts most of the time, has really been a champ throughout my quest for more and more and more and more ways to eat these babies. This […]

Chocolate-Date-Nut Balls

Jan 02, 2014 | By Melissa

Let me give you a leg up on your New Year’s resolution. You know, the one where you vowed to eat healthy foods and give up refined sugar! No? Maybe that was just me. True story, I have resolved to give up refined sugar (and as much refined white flour as possible) for one whole […]

How to Prepare a Special Feast (Without Wishing You Weren’t)

Dec 23, 2013 | By Melissa

This afternoon, as I was awkwardly stuffing the contents of four sacks of groceries into my fridge, it occurred to me that we haven’t really talked about Christmas dinner. That’s partly because the entire first half of this month was a blur for me, as I spent it organizing and cooking for a multi-day party […]

Black Bean Brownies

Nov 11, 2013 | By Melissa

This month for the Secret Recipe Club, I was assigned the blog Jenny’s Cookbook. Boy did I have a hard time deciding what to make. Given the chilly weather, I was leaning toward one of her many delicious-looking (vegetarian!) soups, but when my eyes lit on the name Black Bean Brownies, I knew I was […]

Mini Kale Soufflés

Nov 08, 2013 | By Melissa

Sometimes I get silly ideas. Like…let’s take this extra bag of kale greens I bought and turn it into soufflé. Easy peasy. I had never actually made soufflé before. Like any sensible person, I had a deep and abiding fear of soufflé. But then I figured that savory soufflé would be easier than the dreaded […]

Harvest Pumpkin Soup

Nov 06, 2013 | By Melissa

When I stepped outside this morning it was cold. Like…really cold. And it smelled like snow! So I made you some soup. (By the way, this soup would be awesome for Thanksgiving. Cuz yeah, it’s that time of year already! And what the heck, make a pumpkin bowl! Use it as a vegetarian centerpiece. How […]

CSA in Review

Oct 31, 2013 | By Melissa

After 20 weeks of fresh, seasonal produce, CSA has come to a close for the year. As I reflected on the experience—what I ate, what I didn’t, what I learned, and what I wished I had known—I thought it might be worthwhile to share my overall impressions of being a CSA member with you. So […]

Chocolate Prune Smash Cake + Curious George Party

Oct 22, 2013 | By Melissa

My baby is 1!! How did that even happen? In keeping with my goal to one day turn into Annie of Annie’s Eats, I planned the heck out of a birthday party for him. I landed on a Curious George theme (from the books, not the show), because my kid looooves to investigate anything he […]

CSA Week 19: Curly Kale Salad

Oct 11, 2013 | By Melissa

Kale is beautiful. I bought some kale a few weeks ago at the farmer’s market so I could make a kale salad. I was so excited! Sarah came over and she got excited, too! But the recipe I had was a little weirdly written…and to make a long story short, there was too much dressing. […]
