Black Bean Soup
Despite the occasional 50-degree day, Connecticut’s gotten a lot of snow this winter. After a cold day at work and a two-mile trudge home through the snow and ice, there’s nothing that makes me happier than coming home to a hot bowl of soup. Black bean soup is healthy, hearty fare that’s sure to warm you up from the inside out.This recipe is extremely simple, but it does take time. Simmering dried black beans right in the stock is key to this soup’s full-bodied flavor. I’ve tried all kinds of shortcuts, but black bean soup thrown together in half an hour with canned beans…

Budget Day: Time to Tax Meat?
We’ve heard much talk in recent months about a proposed tax on sugar in order to help combat Britain’s obesity epidemic. But when it comes to unhealthy, disease-causing foods that drive up health-care costs, there’s another obvious culprit – meat and other animal products. Just in time for the Chancellor’s budget speech, PETA President Ingrid E Newkirk has come up with a practical, money-saving suggestion that would score highly on both the …

Pasta with Mushrooms and Artichokes
The night before Thanksgiving I knew I had to make a pasta dish for carbo loading purposes. While we weren’t with the whole family at the Cincinnati Thanksgiving 10k, we did run the 5k in Boise (plus I added another 3.1 around the block to get the true T-day 10k feeling). It was my first time pushing Violet in the jogging stroller during a race and we had so much fun together. The Boise race was dog friendly so she was entertained as we ran past them and they ran past us.While I’m a marinara lover through and through, I didn’t want something so acidic…

Fruitcake Cookies
Starting in late October, I create a document where I copy and paste Christmas cookie ideas for the year. I generally try to make about 6-8 of the old favorites and 6-8 new cookies. Since my Kitchenaid mixer didn’t make it to Boise, along with my rolling pin, silpat, cookie cutters and a few other baking essentials, I had to rethink the list. While I normally make Gingerbread men cut outs, sugar cookie Christmas trees, chocolate sugar cookie snowflakes and spritz cookies, …
Blueberry Rhubarb Sour Cream Coffee Cake
chai and snacks… I’ve recently discovered the joy of a cup of flavor filled tea in the evenings and am ever ready to experiment with various herbal teas. I do, however, think that the right snack to complement the tea is essential for a complete and satisfying teatime experience. My pantry is stocked with a wide variety of snacks from the Indian store for this reason. Every once in a while though, I like to switch things up a bit and bake something delicious. I will share one such teatime favorite today. Here goes – Blueberry Rhubarb…
Betsy DiJulio: 4 Simple Strategies for Keeping the Creative Culinary Juices Flowing
Baked Apples Baklava is an example of “Switching Courses”, one of the creativity strategies named in this article. This recipe is a switch from Dessert to Breakfast, as a sweet nutty filling is tucked inside the depression left when the apple core was removed, and then the stuffed apple half is wrapped in phyllo and baked before being drizzled with an apple cider reduction. What do aerobic instruction and vegan cooking have to do with each…
Vegan Irish Soda Bread
Saint Patrick’s Day is just two weeks away, and while I am neither Irish and nor really into holidays that don’t involve getting a day off work, I do savor any excuse to make Irish soda bread. Although this loaf is exactly what I expect when I think of soda bread, the Internet tells me that True, Authentic Irish soda bread would never contain raisins, caraway, or sugar, as these bourgeois items would never have been found in the pockets of the Irish …

Black and White Cookies
For a few years I’ve been wanting to make black and white cookies but they seemed intimidating. They’re the kind of thing that if you screw it up, people will notice. They have such a distinct flavor and look and when they’re good, they’re GOOD. They’re more of a cake-cookie than a hard, sturdy cookie and the secret getting the perfectly flat top is flipping them over and icing the bottom!My older sister is a big black and white cookie fan so I decided to bite the bullet and try out black and whites for her Christmas cookie package. I used Smitten Kitchen’s recipe and steps exactly so I would …
Review: Aunt Mary’s Tailgating Coleslaw
Amy of the Your Southern Peach blog has posted a delicious coleslaw recipe from her aunt Mary. Being a Southern Peach myself, I am always drawn to recipe blogs from others born and raised in the South. Even though as a vegan, there are many recipes that need to be adapted, this was not one. It is vegan already and very tasty. We cut the vegetables a bit differently, in larger pieces and slices, Whether you choose to shred, and chop thin or more chunky, it does not matter, its a great recipe. Do give it a try.

Making the most of basil from your garden — all year long
Ken’s beloved pesto pizza, made from our garden Garden plots can be finnicky. We’ve tried planting everything in our 20-year-old raised bed, but it seems to favor basil above all other hot-weather plants. One reason is the increasing amount of shade on the raised bed, from trees growing nearby. Most of the vegetables we plant there fail to flourish in the limited sunlight, but the basil tolerates the shade well. So we cater to the basil in summer. We nurture the soil with compost, no chemical fertilizers or pesticides. We cover the young basil plants with mesh to keep beetles from eating it. (We use tulle from a fabric store.) Mulch it with leaves. And all summer long we collect…
Red Velvet Shortbread Cookies
As I was browsing cookie recipes on the Better Homes and Garden’s website (how I got there, I have no idea!) I saw this recipe and knew it would be perfect for my dad. His favorite cookies tend to be shortbread or my un-iced gingerbread men/sugar cookies. His favorite nut is the pistachio, and these suggest dipping the cookie in either sprinkles or pistachios. I did make two versions, one with sprinkles and one with pistachios. The …
