How to make salad out of fridge scraps

The other night I was making baked potatoes (from here, really good btw) and realized I wanted a salad on the side. I took inventory and found I had pieces and leftover bits of vegetables, some of them greens, and some old fruit like pears and blueberries. I also had oil and vinegar in the…

New product reviews: chocolate chickpea waffles, grilled cheese soup, and more

Whole Foods has arrived in my town, which means access to more “healthy” new products — at a premium, of course. I expected it to have everything Sprouts has, but it’s actually missing a lot of the gluten-free baked goods I see in Sprouts. It’s also much more crowded. On the other hand, it has…

Apple and Cranberry Stuffed Acorn Squash
This past Thanksgiving I got nostalgic for stuffed squash halves, though I couldn’t remember the recipe I’d used before. My mom got out my parents’ big binder of printed recipes and found one by Colleen Doyle for stuffing acorn squash halves with apples and cranberries. I followed it with some tweaks. Here’s how I cooked…

2024 dinner flops vs. wins

I’m looking back at what worked and what didn’t for dinner this year. Spaghetti pie vs. meat sauce Instant pot spaghetti with meat sauce is a recipe I make regularly. It’s very easy, can be customized, and comes together quickly on a weeknight. I decided to try making spaghetti pie for a change, which is…

Vacation rental cooking in Maine

I spent over a week in Maine recently, staying in a rental with family and visiting more family. I’ve done this once before and we kept having to run out to buy more food, or finding ourselves too tired at the end of the day to cook or make a decision about where to get…

JUST Egg vs. Egg
My stomach doesn’t always react well to eggs, which limits both my breakfast and ramen topping options. I’ve seen JUST egg in just about every supermarket I go to, so I finally decided to give it a try. I chose their frozen folded egg, thinking it would make an easy, filling breakfast. And it does!…

Reblog: Korean BBQ Tempeh with Citrus Salad (Vegan)
I made this and it was delicious! I adapted it for what I had available. I found crumbled tempeh so I used that instead of slicing, and I had baby bok choy I’d grown so I added that to the salad. I served it over brown rice. The combination of bbq sauce and citrus was…

True Food Kitchen Review
True Food Kitchen is a national chain in the US that tries to bring farm-to-table goodness to fast food. Apparently Oprah is involved. I recently picked one of their locations for dinner because it had the most gluten-free options in the area I was visiting. It was a choice between TFK or the Cheesecake Factory…

Round raisin challah French toast

Red lentil curry for lunch
I’ve long been envious of the lifestyle described in Vox’s Chicken soup (and more) for the Remote Worker in 2019: And this is why soup season is so glorious: it’s the delicious solution to many remote work problems. Once October starts, it’s acceptable to make large pots of delicious soup that get better every day that it sits…
