A Vegetarian Food Blog
This week was full of recipes that didn’t quite work out right. Some didn’t even make it to this post, like my injera. Injera is an Ethiopian sourdough bread that’s made in a skillet. Unfortunately, mine was bound and determined not to leave that skillet and it was way too sour, rendering it pretty much [...]
With temperatures in the 80s and 90s(!) this week, I found myself gravitating to summer-y foods when it came to planning our meals. I have to admit, I was kind of excited when I went to the grocery store and the display of asparagus had been replaced with fresh corn. We try to eat in [...]
Last Saturday we trekked to Raleigh to go to the state farmers market. Despite getting caught in a sudden downpour, it was worth the trip: we left with bags brimming full of juicy red strawberries, freshly baked bread, and some more plants for the garden.

If you’re looking for clean, modern logo [...]
This roasted cremini mushrooms recipe is one of my favorite easy side dishes. Y’all know how I feel about roasting vegetables–I’m a little bit obsessed. It’s a wonderfully hands-off method of cooking and the end result is (almost) always delicious. Roasted creminis also make a great addition to pasta dishes, which is how I used [...]
I love artichoke hearts–canned, marinated, whatever, they’re delicious. But prior to this week, I’ve never attempted to make whole artichokes myself. Since I’m working on a blog redesign (yes, again–hush!) that centers around the humble artichoke, I figured it was a good time to buy some. So how did they turn out? Steamed Whole Artichokes [...]
My husband and I are both from the same town in Illinois, so we visited our families there last weekend. We’ve only seen my family once since moving to North Carolina and we haven’t seen my husband’s family at all. We were going to go to Illinois for Christmas, but decided to wait until the [...]
