Viva Vegan's Farmer's Market Tamales
Posted by Cidell
Apparently, I’m the only person in the world who didn’t know tamales were an all day family affair. I saw them in Viva Vegan and thought I would give them a go. These little suckers are time consuming. But, oh so worth it! Between cooking the veggies, wrapping the tamales and the 55 mins to 1:15 to steam — they are a time suck.

Chickpea-and-Lentil Salad with Sun-Dried Tomato...
Posted by: Cidell
A few years ago an old friend gave me a copy of the 2003 Once Upon a Tart… The book is named for a bakeshop and cafeof the same name in New York. To date, I had made just one recipe from the book. I pulled it out for lunch time inspiration and found this great Mediterranean influenced salad.
Is there any more of a miracle plant than a bean? You know I generally...
"Cheezy," "Crabby" White Bean-Artichoke Dip

Plus, this dish is one of the few vegan opportunities I’ve found to use Old Bay. I need to find more dishes that mix Old Bay and nutritional yeast: I know it sounds odd, but this may be one...

I selected this dish because of the eggplant. My mom mentioned having an abundance of it from...

So, let me begin by saying I’m OBSESSED with a little website called Pinterest. It’s kinda hard to explain so go check it out. But, it’s like idea boards and/or bookmarks all kept in one place. Anyhow, the point is… that is how I found this recipe. I have a whole board called food to make.
This recipe was very easy to make and tastes great....

Posted By: Cidell
Last week to round out the stuffed poblano peppers, I made up Cook Illustrated’s Tortilla Soup. Except, this one doesn’t have tortillas. Or chicken. But, it does have quinoa for texture and white beans for protein. My roomie and I looooove this soup. It’s got a warm heat and layered flavors. The garnishes only improve the experience.
