My 20 year old daughter is a vegan who also doesn’t eat gluten or onions. Gluten I can cook without. There are plenty of options. Meat is optional, too. BUT ONIONS? I cook with onions almost every day. So, when she comes over for family dinner, I always try to have something here for herContinue reading “Super Easy Potato Leek Soup”

Mashed Potatoes
I know, you think you know mashed potatoes. So did I. Then I tried this recipe. I didn’t know mashed potatoes. Anyone can boil potatoes and mash them up. It’s the way you do it that’s important. You can read up on the science on the Serious Eats site, which is quickly becomingContinue reading “Mashed Potatoes”
Lime Mint Chickpea Salad
After a brief hiatus, I’m back with some new light vegan spring recipes! The butter, bacon, lamb and egg yolks didn’t agree with a certain member of our family, who discovered that his cholesterol was elevated and that he’d gained a few pounds over the holidays. Rather than outright accusing me of trying to killContinue reading “Lime Mint Chickpea Salad”
Christmas and Thanksgiving Roundup
I didn’t have a lot of time to take or post photos or recipes during the holidays, so I’m doing a photo dump here. Recipes forthcoming! Working backwards…

Khoresht Ghormeh Sabzi and Lima Bean with Dill Tah Dig II: This Time, It’s Personal
Last week, I tried to make tahdig, and it didn’t go so well. I was determined NOT to burn the shit out of the tah dig this time. If I didn’t accomplish anything else, just not burning it would have been a win. I watched videos of Iranian women making it, read multiple blogs aboutContinue reading “Khoresht Ghormeh Sabzi and Lima Bean with Dill Tah Dig II: This Time, It’s Personal”
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
That pumpkin we roasted last weekend is the gift that keeps on giving. I put the seeds and some of the guts of the pumpkin in the refrigerator for a few days so I could roast them when I got around to it, which turned out to be today. I have burned more pumpkin seedsContinue reading “Roasted Pumpkin Seeds”
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 vegetablesContinue reading “Vegan Split Pea Soup”
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.
Roasted Brussel Sprouts
I was looking through this blog and thinking that anyone reading might be worried for our health. It seems like we never have any green vegetables. But we do have greens every night and we juice greens almost every morning for breakfast. I don’t usually take pictures of or write down recipes for the vegetablesContinue reading “Roasted Brussel Sprouts”
