A few weeks ago, I tempted fate and went shopping at Costco without a grocery list. I’d say I live for cheap thrills — except flat after flat of $9 organic produce adds up reeaaal frickin’ fast. So along with my usual haul of Greek yogurt, bananas and Dave’s Killer Bread (side note: have you guys heard he’s off the wagon? Seriously so sad…) — I picked up two little tubs of organic white miso. Let the ahhhglazing begin. Troof be told, to-date my only experience with miso at home has been with those guilty little packets of instant miso … Read More
Coconut-Zucchini Sugar Cakies {vegan}
I will be the first to admit that I don’t like cakey cookies. A chewy cookie I can tolerate, and that’s something that’s only grown on me in the past 10 years or so. (College really forces you to get un-picky about the types of cookies that show up in your care packages. I mean, my mom was all over the crisp, crunchy cookie thing, but some of my dorm-mates mom’s weren’t as savvy. We made do.) But every now and then you stumble on something that changes your point of view completely. Maybe it’s a YA novel that brings … Read More

Recipe: Dirty chayote & rice soup with bacon
You know what’s even better than working with people you like? Working with people you like who love to eat. On both fronts, I have won the co-worker lottery. Better, even, than colleagues that love to eat are colleagues that are significantly better than I am at hunting, gathering or growing food stuffs with their own two hands. One of those people is my buddy Gordon. To date, I have Gordon to thank for two Chinese fish dinners (fresh caught lingcod!); a hearty stir-fry made with winter melons plucked straight from the vine — and tonight’s soup: a mild, rustic … Read More
Recipes: Cranberry muff stuffers n’ veggies (aka Friendsgiving)*
One of my more cynical friends and charmingly resistant readers suggested part of the title for this post after partaking in the cranberry stuffing muffins written up below. Because why refer to something as a stuffing muffin when you can instead turn to the prose that is muff stuffer? It’s really quite excellent in its inappropriateness. But then I suppose me referring to anyone else on this Earth as inappropriate would be the very definition of kettle-pot name-calling. I digress. On Monday, Chris and I had a few friends over to to celebrate a bit of an impromptu Friendsgiving complete … Read More
