For the Super Bowl this year, AK really wanted a hot dog bar. We made some of the usual hot dog toppings (caramelized onions, pickled cabbage), but I was at Shoppers and red peppers were on sale 4 for $5, which is amazingly cheap at least in my area, so I wanted to do some…

Blueberry & Meyer Lemon Refrigerator Jam
I started experimenting with jam last winter when I started reading an awesome blog called Food in Jars. If you have any interest in canning, or just want to see some cool recipes, definitely check it out. Unfortunately I don’t really have space to actually can and store anything, so I stick with refrigerator jams.
Vegan Curry-Maple Roasted Nuts
I know I’ve posted a lot of roasted nut recipes, but hey, I like nuts :) This time I went sweet and spicy with curry, ginger, and maple. I chose to use half almonds and half cashews, but you could use any nut you want–macadamia, pecan, walnut, etc. These nuts aren’t too spicy, so add…
Lemon & Dill Gravlax
Like a good Jewish girl, I’m a fan of lox, but I’m not a fan of the chemically flavor you get from packaged lox. I’ve seen lots of recipes for gravlax, so I decided to make it for Passover since it doesn’t keep long enough for AK and me to finish it all in time…

Outside the Salad Bowl: Edamamole
**This post is part of a month-long series as I participate in the Salad as a Meal Challenge. Patricia Wells has a great recipe she calls “Guacamole Light,” which substitutes some of the avocado for peas. Genius! I’m not a huge fan of the texture of peas, so I decided to use edamame instead (not so…
Salad Essentials: Toppings (Vegan Savory Roasted Nuts)
**This post is part of a month-long series as I participate in the Salad as a Meal Challenge. A great way to add texture, flavor, and nutrients to a salad is to add toppings. One of my favorite toppings to add is nuts–gluten-free, crunchy, and healthy. Salad as a Meal has a recipe for curried pumpkin…
Outside the Salad Bowl: Babaganoush
**This post is part of a month-long series as I participate in the Salad as a Meal Challenge. There are so many different ways to eat vegetables outside of the salad bowl–from soups to spreads. This is one of my favorite veggie-based spreads: Babaganoush. I grew up eating baba that was drowned in mayonnaise, so pretty…
Penny Pinching Tip #12: Edible Holiday Gifts
I’m spending the holidays with AK’s family, and I wanted to bring an inexpensive but unique gift with me as a token of my appreciation. After some thought [fine, about 2 minutes worth :)], I decided to do something edible.
