Good Seed Crackers
The final recipe in my week of recipes from the book Superfood Kitchen is Good Seed Crackers. I have always wanted to try my hand at homemade crackers and since I already had the chia seed on hand from the Lemon Coconut Bars, I only needed to pick up two ingredients for this recipe, hemp… Continue reading Good Seed Crackers
Kale and Black Eyed Pea Soup
The second recipe that caught my eye in the book Superfood Kitchen was kale and black eyed pea soup. Once again I landed on this one because it didn't call for too many unusual ingredients and we had most everything already in stock in the kitchen. I have been wanting to work kale back into… Continue reading Kale and Black Eyed Pea Soup
Sweet Potato Black Bean Quesadillas
Lately I have not posted many of my own recipes. There are so many great recipes out there I figure, why recreate the wheel? I'm perfectly happy making others creations and reporting back on the outcome. This recipe, however, is our own creation and is one of my favorite dinners. I think we came up… Continue reading Sweet Potato Black Bean Quesadillas
Spinach Pesto Lasagna
A mother's responsibility involves scooping up your child to kiss his "bonked finger" as soon as you walk in the door before you even take off your coat or set down your bag. And that's exactly what I did. And then we ate. Benzo had whipped up a pan of spinach pesto lasagna based on… Continue reading Spinach Pesto Lasagna

When I saw the recipe for sun-dried tomato cream sauce in the Vitamix… Continue reading Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

The first year as a family of three! Lots of time spent with family and… Continue reading Lentil Dumpling Soup Take 2
Tater Tot Casserole
The past week has flown by. I meant to post about this tater tot casserole last Friday but never got around to it. I had to pick Jack up from daycare early on Friday because he had a fever. 😦 His temperature bounced around all weekend and he had to stay home on Monday and… Continue reading Tater Tot Casserole
Sweet Potato Tofu Jambalaya
The other day I consulted Betty to determine how to bake a butternut squash (to eventually purée for Jack). As I was flipping through I noticed that Betty has a vegetarian section. Huh. Did not know that was in there. I glanced through the recipes and found one for sweet potato tofu jambalaya that looked… Continue reading Sweet Potato Tofu Jambalaya
My First Homemade Seitan
I crawled out of my cave and finally joined Twitter a few months ago. One of my favorite followees is VegWeb. They tweet delicious sounding recipes daily. I've gotten a few dinner ideas from their tweets! One of their tweets awhile back was an easy seitan recipe. (Seitan is a vegetarian protein made out of… Continue reading My First Homemade Seitan
