I simply love snacking on warm edamame. I can and have eaten them by the bowl full. Edamame are soybeans that come in their own shell (for mad snacking) or shelled (think stir fry/salads/soup). They can be found in the freezer section of most grocery stores. You may boil them for a scant five minutes, […]

Recently I have been enjoying a more minimalistic way of eating than I am used to. It has been food, more simply. When I cook at home I treat our spice cabinet like a supermarket sweep and go crazy. I love spices, I love herbs and honestly, I love the challenge to combine them all. […]

I crave soup when it is cold. That means from September until May in Michigan, I only want to eat soup and the occasional vegan cupcake. Comfort foods abound in this kitchen. Roasting vegetables and pureeing them is one of the easiest ways to create an inexpensive, comforting soup that does not require animal or […]

Photo By: S. Duquet Perhaps like many of you, when I woke up yesterday morning it was raining. Every morning for the past several mornings have begun in that way. Rain can be many beautiful things to me. It can be soothing and calming, nourishing and hydrating and even a welcome reprieve from the heat […]

Happy Meatless Monday. Yesterday I was staring at a head of cauliflower that I had purchased several days earlier with high hopes. It was now sitting on the counter for maybe the fifth day, begging me to make it into something or put it out of its misery. When I am in the produce aisle, […]

This weekend we had the most wonderful time at a huge outdoor market. We found gorgeous produce, local foods and a new-to-us treasure, yellow-eyed peas. They are as beautiful and unique looking as their black counterparts but appear to have been touched by gold. I had never seen these before and was very intrigued. We […]

In June I shared Sandy’s Top Secret Chick’n Noodle Soup recipe. It is the kind of soup that takes on the form of an actual loving embrace. It goes into your body and becomes a healing tonic, a life size band-aid for your broken parts and a hug from the most loving person you have […]
