Ok, maybe not spooky, but definitely Halloweenie! This is the third year (I think) that I’ve made Halloween themed cookies and cream cupcakes so it’s becoming a bit of a tradition. The frosting recipe is from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World and the cake recipe is mine all mine. I’m bringing this batch to [...]

Spoooky Food!
October 28, 2008Pancakes With Blueberry Sauce
October 24, 2008Here’s the last bit of food to talk about from our little vacation, pancakes with blueberry sauce:
It’s something we always have for at least one breakfast when we visit my parents because my mom makes the batter for us, then all we have to do is cook it up when we’re ready. I forget what [...]
Pizza Pizza!
October 23, 2008More vacation food, this time in pizza form:

For me, it’s all about October. Junk food, candy, baked goods, you name it, it’s all fair game this month. While we were visiting my parents [...]
Swamp Rice
October 12, 2008
Tonight’s dinner is a new creation I’m calling Swamp Rice. Why Swamp Rice? Because greens cut into strips and and cooked look swampy to me (and there’s an awesomely bad movie on SciFi tonight that’s called Swamp Devil). Anyway, it’s got kale, spinach, brown rice, onion, jalapenos, cilantro, and plenty of spices and hot sauce - what’s [...]
Banh Mi
October 9, 2008Well tonight for supper I made one of my favorite sandwiches: the banh mi, aka the Vietnamese hoagie. I was fairly happy although the bread could have been a little fresher, it felt like it was a day or two past prime. The filling of the banh mi is a pickle made with daikon radish, [...]
