Recipe: Curried Greens and Chickpeas

Filed Under: Recipes 6 Comments

My favorite Indian dish is palak paneer. The creamy spinach and salty, firm cheese cubes…mmm! This recipe is sorta like saag paneer (apparently the difference between saag and palak is that palak is always spinach, but saag can be any kind of green). But I almost don’t want to tell you that because I don’t wantRead the whole post >>

One day a few months ago, I got a hankering for ramen noodles and grabbed a package of chili ramen, assuming it was vegetarian. I got home and read the ingredients: BEEF FAT. Ick.

Recipe: Tofu Lettuce Wraps.

Filed Under: Recipes 5 Comments

Ah, poor tofu. The butt of every vegetarian joke. Tofu is actually quite fantastic IF you make it right. (My college cafeteria used to serve it cold and plain at the salad bar…NOT good.) It’s tasty and filling and full of protein. A tofu recipe that doesn’t require pressing or marinating makes these a stapleRead the whole post >>

Recipe: Bistro Broccoli Chowder

Filed Under: Recipes 8 Comments

We’re in the thick of soup season (well, let’s be real – every season is soup season in my book), and this broccoli soup is full of vegetables and incredibly tasty. This is what my kitchen looks like when I cook. I have no natural light in my landlocked kitchen.  Professional kitchen remodeling Services inRead the whole post >>
