I think all I've done today is cook, eat, wash dishes, and procure more food. (I had to walk over to the co-op to pick up a few things . . . most importantly, more dish soap!) Here's what I've been up to: I started the morning by making some spinach and tomato dal: We'll have this for lunch tomorrow...

(** I updated the FLOG below **) Yeah, I have a t-shirt that says that. :) Anyhow, I had a busy day of cooking and baking! FLOG to follow. I started off my morning by making some applesauce: I peeled and cut the apples into chunks, simmered them on low with a splash of water and a pinch of salt unti...

As I wrote about last week,  we've been baking bread in our bread maker.  Once we experimented and found a recipe that works well for us, we've still had a few challenges.  The last loaf had too much yeast and fell in the middle.  The breadmaker booklet recommened dec...

I managed to cram in a few more cooking projects before the end of the weekend, and I'm so glad I did! It's supposed to be awfully hot again this week, and I'm so glad I have a fridge full of food and won't need to turn on the oven or stove AT ALL. Breakfast Sunday morning: Homemade bread, toasted, ...

I made a deal with myself at the Farmer's Market yesterday -- I knew that I had a couple of things in mind that I wanted to pick up, but I took out plenty of cash and told myself I was allowed to buy whatever looked good, and I'd deal with the (positive) "consequences" later. :) I only ended up spen...

. . . at least for the short-term. Why? Because Dan and I are going camping this weekend, and there are just a few fun things that you HAVE to have while camping, like veggie dogs, buns, marshmallows, and pop! Yes, I probably could technically have made ALL of those things . . . but, Suzy Veggie Hom...

I made Tropical Lemon Coconut Muffins! I was a little wary of using pureed avocado in a muffin batter, but they turned out wonderfully! Coconutty, lemony, moist, rich, and filling, without a trace of avocado flavor. What a way to get in those healthy mono fats! Dinner Friday night: Yes . . . curried...
