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

I think we came up… Continue reading Sweet Potato Black Bean Quesadillas

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.

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
