Raw Kale & Chickpea Salad

July 20, 2010

Last summer we picked up a raw kale salad from the deli at a co-op in Davis, California, and enjoyed it a lot. This salad doesn’t really recreate it, but it was that salad that encouraged me to try using more raw kale in dishes. You can mix & match things like dressing, veggies used, […]

INGREDENTS: 1 16oz block Super- or Extra-Firm Tofu (undrained). 1 stick celery (cleaned, leaves on). 1/2 to 1 cup Vegenaise (depending on how creamy you like it). 2 […]

I began making dashi because we missed having soups when out at Japanese restaurants. This is a real problem since fish, usually as bonito, shows up in so many stock bases.

Tortilla Soup

June 29, 2010

In August I am teaching a one-day workshop on Metta (Loving-Kindness) and Hatha Yoga. I’ve requested that since I am teaching this and we are offering lunch, that the lunch provided be vegan. I just can’t get behind the thought of teaching either things when the food isn’t also sending the message of great compassion. […]

Kombucha Day 110

The thing is, it has gone so smoothly, so effortlessly that the posts would have been something like this: Kombucha brewing, bottled, etc. No issues. Still brewing with Oolong tea.

Combine all of that with some eating out and we’re once again filling up the compost bin! That said, here’s today’s box full of goodies: a head of red leaf lettuce kale […]

Organics to You – June 14, 2010

June 14, 2010

Missed last week’s post due to the crazy busyness of getting ready for Open Source Bridge. We’d thought last week we’d come home and cook some, but were wrong. This week we have a crazy surplus of produce in the house including the contents of this week’s box: 2 heads of red leaf lettuce 1 […]
