Vegan S’mores

Samantha — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 21:26:58 +0000

This last weekend we went camping for the first time in about seven or eight years. We’re not big on camping – or rather, I am not big on camping. I’ve done it a lot throughout my life, and most trips I’ve gotten sick, been rained on, have been very cold and the entire time [...] No related posts.

Asparagus Pesto

Samantha — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 02:57:27 +0000

For the past eight years, I have loathed buying too many groceries at once because of how heavy they can get to carry. When you’re a full-time pedestrian it’s hard to realistically shop at places like Costco or Sam’s Club. If it makes sense, you’ll have your own little push cart, often known as a [...] Related posts:Dill Pesto Orzo with Basil Pesto

Carrot Cake Muffins

A couple of weeks ago when we went strawberry picking at Boxx Berry Farm, we also had the fortunate opportunity to pick some vegetables from a small farm called Half Acre Farm located on the same property. They had a variety of vegetables ready, but we decided to pick only a couple of items – [...] Related posts:Blueberry Muffins Pumpkin Bread Easter Crumb Cake

Strawberry Freezer Jam

Samantha — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 21:40:56 +0000

One of the reasons why we decided to move to the Pacific Northwest is because of the great investment made into local agriculture up here. When we visited here in October 2007, still as New Yorkers, we immediately fell in love with the grapefruit-sized onions, the sweet crunchy apples and the flavorful tomatoes. After that [...] No related posts.

10 Vegan Summer Recipes

Samantha — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 01:12:31 +0000

I’m still getting used to the weather in Washington. I have spent virtually every summer of my life in locations where the summers are hot and often humid, and where the springs usually get a jump start on the hot weather and say “first!” But yesterday, I was quite surprised when I looked at the [...] No related posts.

Baked Apples

Samantha — Sat, 22 May 2010 01:59:55 +0000

I am a big fan of apple crisp – the sweet, crunchy topping with the tender, juicy apples – but sometimes I just don’t have the right amount of apples or time on my hands. And sometimes I don’t really want to make all that extra effort of peeling and cutting up the fruit. I [...] Related posts:Apple Crisp Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Mini Cherry Pies

Learn how to start seeds in this third post of the Kitchen Garden series. When I first started getting into gardening, it was as though I was experiencing my inner child again.

Orange Scones

Samantha — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 22:20:36 +0000

It hasn’t been until the last few years that I have gotten into scones (I think that I used to confuse them with biscotti and assumed that they would be dry and hard), and even then I haven’t made them with much frequency. I was pleasantly surprised when I bit into my first scone – [...] Related posts:Vegan Chocolate Eclairs Vegan Danish Braid Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting

Plan Your Garden

Samantha — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 04:29:53 +0000

This is the second post in the Kitchen Garden series. One of my absolute favorite things to do when it comes to gardening is deciding what to plant. Even though we have only had small garden spaces over the last few years, we already have thousands and thousands of seeds because of our love of [...] No related posts.
