I went to Mezcalitos in Oakhurst a while back and had the special, which was a chile relleno with chicken and mushrooms. When it arrived, I was happy to see that the chile was roasted instead of battered and deep fried, which was never really a turn on to me. I knew I could replicate [...]

Mushroom and Poblano Tacos
Posted in Main Dish, Mexican, Quick & Easy, Vegetarian, tagged Main Dish, Mexican, mushrooms, quick and easy, taco, Vegetarian on November 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This recipe was surprisingly delicious, flavorful and filling (and I hate to say this) for a vegetarian recipe. I thought it would be good, I just didn’t think it would be this good. The key, I think, is the corn tortillas, which you toast in the pan so the cheese melts and the tacos because [...]

I’m back after a hiatus and I have two vegetarian recipes to post that were both really good and filling. First up is this Moroccan Lentil and Chickpea Stew, which is perfect for cooler weather and has a really rich, subtly spicy flavor. It would be great served with a dollop of plain yogurt and [...]

I’ve been delinquent in talking about the Mexican feast Haley and I made for friends who were in town for a wedding. We had a taco party with carnitas and chicken, and rice and black beans, plus lots of toppings. And it was delicious. I’m going to share the black bean and rice recipes with [...]
Roasted Butternut Squash and Apple Salad
Posted in Main Dish, Salad, Side Dish, Vegetarian, tagged Fall, Main Dish, Salad, South Beach, squash, Vegetarian on October 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Fall is here in full force- there isn’t a chill in the air, it’s more like a blast of cold air today. I made this salad last week when it was much
warmer than today, but there was still a slight chill, which was enough to get me in the mood for Fall produce. It’s a [...]

This is one of those drop everything and go make this now recipes. It was that good. In fact, so good I bumped it up
in my queue of posts.
I made this recipe two nights ago thinking it would pretty tasty because I love lentils and smoked paprika, and I was lured in by the picture [...]
Chana Masala with Mushrooms

When I saw this Chana Masala with Mushrooms from Herbavoracious, the mushrooms started calling out to me and I imagined it
would have a really rich, spiced taste with meaty mushrooms. Luckily, my guess was right on and this dish makes the short list of Indian recipes you can make at home that taste like what [...]
Veggie and Bean Chili

Every year I seem to want to reinvent my veggie chili recipe, and I don’t really know why. I think it’s mostly because I like the
recipes at Twain’s and the Vortex so much, and realize that the only way I’m going to get close to what they make is to start from scratch with dry [...]
Spicy Lemongrass Tofu

I’ve been very faithful to my favorite way to prepare tofu, which is the Grit restaurant way of crisping cubes in a pan, sprinkling on
soy sauce, giving them another crisping, then dusting them with nutritional yeast. I found another recipe that gives tofu so much flavor it really surprised me. This recipe, from Pleasures of [...]

Sarah went to Maine and Nova Scotia and all you got was this cole slaw recipe. It’s true. I ate four lobster rolls last week and didn’t do
any cooking, so I don’t have much new to share with you today. Some of the lobster rolls I ate came with cole slaw and that inspired me [...]
