Samantha — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 22:53:45 +0000

I attended my first food blogger conference in Seattle about a week ago, the International Food Blogger Conference. I encountered a lot of interesting food bloggers and ideas, including the big question of the weekend posed by Super Size Me director Morgan Spurlock - how can we get more people to care about food?

Orange Chocolate Brownies

Do you remember those dark or milk chocolate oranges from your childhood? They would come wrapped tightly in bright orange foil, and when you’d open one of them up you would see something like a dozen pieces of chocolate in the shape of orange wedges. Taking a bite, the taste of orange and chocolate would [...] Related posts:Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting Vegan Flourless Chocolate Cake Easter Crumb Cake

Why I Chose to Call Myself a Vegan

Samantha — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 01:59:35 +0000

It’s been nearly a year ago since I last posted to the Becoming Vegan series. I’m ready to start up the series again, but before I do that, I want you to know why I chose to call myself a vegan – and why I have decided to not call myself a vegan any longer [...] No related posts.

Fried Green Tomatoes

Samantha — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 23:22:25 +0000

Summer conjures up a lot of culinary tastes and images for me, from corn on the cob to peach cobbler to strawberry lemonade. It’s a season of indulgence and surprise as I rediscover loved fruits and vegetables from my childhood, especially since everything is dripping with freshness and none of it is vacuum-packed in plastic. [...] Related posts:Pan con Tomate

Pan con Tomate

Samantha — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 22:44:30 +0000

I don’t really remember if I have mentioned this before, but I spent my second year of college studying abroad in Spain. It was a life-changing and calorie-absorbing experience full of moments of feeling like an idiot for not saying Spanish words or phrases correctly, and learning to appreciate the Spaniards’ love of chocolate (they [...] Related posts:Fried Green Tomatoes

Ciabatta Bread

I know what you are already thinking, especially if you’re living somewhere where it’s very hot and you do not have air conditioning. “Why are you posting a bread recipe in August?!” I’m glad you asked, and I have two reasons to give. First off, I had a craving and it’s hard to say no [...] Related posts:How to make Pita Bread Homemade Artisan Bread Almond Meal Bread

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.
