6/6 Spring Peas and Scapes

The peas are the star in this dish. Each ingredient was chosen for its willingness to honor and glorify the Spring Pea. This dish is light and airy with the authority of a complete meal. I think you are going to love this with any type of pea…fresh or frozen. Have a delicious day.

5/16 Shaved Brussels w/ Peaches and Almonds

I love Brussel sprouts. I love their hearty texture and pungent flavor. I really like the huge stalk they grow on and that they look like miniature cabbage. It seems like they are a polarizing edible, either you are a lover of the Brussel or an adversary. This dish could bring you to the dark side […]

3/28 Parsley Cashew Pesto

Sometimes I crave green food. This seems implied from someone living a vegan lifestyle but it really isn’t. When I came home from work last night feeling dejected and sulky,  I polished off a bag of pita chips then fell into a deep carbohydrate induced nap. When I woke up several hours later I had […]

9/23 Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies

Ever since I read about the flax seed egg  replacer in  The Ultimate Vegan Baking Cheat Sheet I have been smitten with the idea. In the past I have viewed baking like a science experiment and believed that there was little wiggle room when it came to key ingredients like eggs and oil. Clearly, that […]

9/22 Delicata Dining Experience

Photo By: S. Duquet It was bittersweet when I spied the first Delicata Squash at our farmers market. I thought,”I really love those, why did they have to come so soon?” The debut of locally grown winter squash is a pretty good indicator that my beloved Summer has come and gone. It was such a […]

9/12 Happy Meatless Monday & A Winner

Happy Meatless Monday. It was a brownie lovin’ type of weekend and I think you are going to love these. They are an easy to prepare, over the top in flavor dessert for your Meatless Monday or any day. Sweets can be even sweeter when they are compassionately created. Photo By: S. Duquet On Saturday […]

8/12 Green Tomato Pesto

Image Courtesy of 4seasonsgreenhouse.net The necessity to use the abundance of green tomatoes we had, the desire for a quickie meal and the love of all things green were the collective inspiration for this dish. We threw everything in the food processor, boiled pasta, wilted kale and had a stunning meal. Photo By: S. Duquet […]

7/19 Adoration for Balsamic Vinegar

Ever since we began following the Engine 2 Diet I have been making our salad dressings. I love experimenting and appreciate being able to limit the sodium and omit the oil. I realized that you do not need oil for an amazing vinaigrette salad dressing, you just need a memorable vinegar that is ripe with […]
