Black Eyed Pea, Smoked Salmon, and Spinach Soup
I smoked some salmon on the grill for dinner Saturday night, and had some left over. No one eats salmon the next day. I don’t know how many times I’ve thrown away perfectly good salmon over the years. Never again!

White Chili with Sprouted Rice and Quinoa
After the fried-food-a-palooza we had this weekend (pan fried salmon and vegetables…mmmm…) I wanted to make something a little lighter. I started making a classic white chili, but had some leftover quinoa and sprouted rice in the fridge. Like a true Northern Ohioan who was taught how to cook by someone who grew up during…

Cinnamon Apple Stuffed Pumpkin
My dad came over for dinner tonight, but he refused to let me take photos. I have a couple of photos I took surreptitiously, but I won’t post them unless he gives the go ahead. Sorry family back home in Ohio. Take it up with the man.

Vegan Split Pea Soup
My dad is coming over tonight to cook with me again! Yeah! I’ll remember to post photos this time. I whipped up some split pea soup for lunch. I love that split peas don’t need to be soaked before you cook them, so this recipe takes very little time. You can either cut your vegetables…

Khoresh-e Loobia Sabz (Persian Green Bean Stew with Chicken)
After last night’s tahdig fail, I thought I’d try to redeem myself with another Persian dish that I’ve actually made before. I copied this recipe from Turmeric and Saffron, which is really the definitive Persian recipe blog. Beautiful photos, great recipes. I tweaked a couple of things, but it’s essentially the same recipe.

Ginger Curry Vegan (or chicken!) Chickpea Slow Cooker Stew with Quinoa and Sprouted Rice
This curry is so good for you. Fresh ginger and garlic and onions and magic spices… Great for when everyone in the house (but me! so far.) has a head cold. Also good when November comes 2 months early to Seattle. I usually make this without chicken, but I roasted a chicken last night, and…

Grapefruit Roast Chicken
The best part of this recipe for me is always the vegetables. Since they go under the chicken, but in an elevated roasting pan, they get almost crispy. The carrots shrink when they roast and get really sweet. The potatoes get crisp almost like potato chips if you cut them thin enough. The grapefruit is…

Gluten Free Clam Chowder
Copy a Post In order to live in Seattle, there are two requirements. 1) You have to have at least one food sensitivity. 2) You have to enjoy seafood. Two birds. One stone. This recipe is super easy (are you noticing a theme?) and takes about 20 minutes prep time, 40 minutes cook time. 6…

Super Fancy Gluten Free Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes
I hate to even call this “meatloaf”, but since there are three different kinds of meat, and it’s in the shape of a loaf, I guess it fits. It’s a little more work than throwing some meat, ketchup, onions and breadcrumbs into a pan, but it is *so* worth it. Ingredients: 5 strips bacon 1½…

Ginger Garlic Sesame Baked Tofu
Since the only vegan in the family has moved to Chicago, I’ve been going a little nuts with the meat dishes, so I decided to make a vegan dish for dinner tomorrow night. This is my favorite tofu marinade. It couldn’t be easier. I usually prep the tofu the night before so it has plenty…
