Because we’ve received a really (really, really) large amount of zucchini, I’ve developed a new appreciation for gardeners and the creative recipes so many people share to help use up zucchini crops. We’ve had some delicious muffins (thanks Joanne Chang-Meyers) and today, we baked this delicious and moist Vegan Zucchini Bread recipe from the website…

15 June 2020: Broccoli Raab with Garlic, White Beans, Tomatoes and Parmesan
As we went into quarantine at the beginning of March, I began to consider making changes to food-sourcing. We were able to get food using food delivery or food pick-up services, but I wanted to go a step further in support of local food sources by joining a CSA or Community Supported Agriculture distribution. We…
21 March 2020: Tuscan Soup With White Beans
Ever since we learned our granddaughter has an egg sensitivity, we have been eating more plant-based and vegan meals. Recently I discovered a really great website, A Couple Cooks. Sonja and Alex, the authors of this blog have some terrific ideas for meals – some vegan, some vegetarian, some whole food – as well…
15 August 2017: Roasted Carrot and Cumin Dressing
While I can make a decent vinaigrette and a passable tahini dressing, I haven’t strayed far from the standards as far as gussy-ing up salads. This, it turns out, has been an error of omission. We eat some form of salad nearly every night, so branching out to new tastes was long overdue. This dressing…
5 August 2017: Coconut Cornmeal Cake
Seriously, Thug Kitchen, this cake is the bomb. As the Thugs say, “… save frosting for something that needs the help.” This does not. And it didn’t need butter or eggs either. Little bit of fresh fruit on top and we will be good to go for tonight’s dessert. If this makes it until then….
23 Feb. 2017: Quinoa Bowl with Tahini Dressing
I happened on Martha Stewart’s PBS cooking show recently, and was impressed that the recipe she prepared was not so ridiculously complicated that it required a team of sous chefs to get it to table. So as I was searching for something to cook this week, I migrated over to her website and found this…

23 August 2015 Saffron Scented Vegetable Paella
Recipe created by The Purple Carrot. Not too long ago, a good friend of ours made a more authentic paella for us and it was, of course, unbelievable. I would venture to say that my Spanish eating and cooking friends would most definitely assert that this is NOT paella. Paella should have meat or…
20 August 2015 Korean Bibimbap
We received our second Purple Carrot order this week, and everything looks as fresh as the last time. Outside of cooking the quinoa and blanching the asparagus, there was no cooking involved. A traditional Bibimbap (meaning: mixed rice) involves warm rice topped with seasoned, sauteed vegetables and topped with a hot or salty sauce. In this version from…
19 August 2015 Chickpeas with Chard & Pan Roasted Tomatoes
By Sarah Copeland (March 2011). Downloaded from Real Simple on the WWW, 8/15/2015. Chickpeas with Chard and Pan Roasted Tomatoes In our effort to be more plant-based and vegan with our eating, I’ve been doing a lot of web-searching. Fortunately, plant-based eating is a hot topic (see Forks over Knives) and there are many creative…
