Basic Baked Tofu & Quinoa

By keepinitkind On September 19, 2012 · 15 Comments · In Entreés, Gluten-Free, Kid Tested & Approved, Recipes, Vegan Tips

Tofu and Quinoa.  I think we could safely call tofu and quinoa staples in most vegan kitchens.  They are both inexpensive, versatile, and viable sources of plant-based nutrition.  Having a simple recipe for both of these items is a valuable resource for any vegan, and Chris and I use them often. Up until now, the [...]

Jackfruit Enchiladas

In the past, when I’ve brought food to share with my family, I’ve always been met with many questions about the ingredients (followed by raised eyebrows), jokes about the food being weird or likely tasting like cardboard (without tasting it), announcements of undying love for meat, a list of how few times one ate meat [...]

Summer Vegetable Salad

When I was a personal trainer, I had a client who was very dear to me.  Kim was one of those people who I immediately hit it off with and every session (three times per week) was spent catching up on each other’s lives (what we’d done recently, new things we’d cooked, vacation plans, family [...]

Carrot Cashew Pâté Cucumber Canapé

I like to be fancy sometimes.  It goes all the way back to when I was four and I insisted that all of my swimsuits have ruffles.  My mother encouraged my love of all things fancy by using cookie cutters to cut out most of my sandwiches as a child (at the very least, she [...]

This is going to sound so weird but I had daydreams about this meal for about 2 days before actually making it.  I knew it was going to be avocados and chickpeas, for sure, since I had just received some of the most gorgeous avocados from my CSA, but what form would it take?  Did [...]

BBQ Tofu, Edamame & Pineapple Spinach Salad with Nectarine Balsamic Dressing

One thing, among many, that I love about traveling is how much being exposed to new cuisines inspires me when I get back to my kitchen.  The first time I went to Spain, I wanted Catalan Bread (toasted baguette, drizzled with olive oil and covered with tomato pulp from being rubbed with a freshly cut [...]

Chickenless Salad Wrap & Spicy Sweet Potato Fries

Happy Memorial Day!  I know tradition calls for a grand barbecue on this holiday, but we will be keeping it simple here at the Miller/Turner home.  This is mostly because we don’t own a grill, but also because Chris and I are kind of going through a Chickenless Salad phase right now. The Chickenless Salad [...]

I was actually going to make something completely different this night.  I had gone to the store and seen to it that I had all the ingredients for this recipe I had envisioned.  I set them all out on my counter, put my cute little apron on, tied my hair back and was ready to [...]

Roasted Cauliflower & Quinoa with Cheesy Pumpkin Tempeh Sauce

By keepinitkind On May 13, 2012 · 17 Comments · In Entreés, Gluten-Free, Recipes, Seasonally-Inspired, Thankfulness

Some of my most favorite dishes are born out of just grabbing some ingredients that I have on hand and going to town without a finished product in mind.  Those times when you just work on instinct and purely create.  This is one of those creations. I had an open can of pureed pumpkin in [...]

Bok Choy Tempeh Tacos

Cinco de Mayo is coming so I wanted to give you a themed recipe to fit the occasion.  Despite the fact that the only thing even remotely “Mexican” about this dish is the fact that they are tacos, the combination of flavors is luring enough to try it. I recently found this idea on Pinterest [...]

Minestrone with Mini Seitan Meatballs

That first year of high school is rough.  Add starting high school in a new town, only knowing one person (a cousin), while transitioning to living with your grandparents, and you’ve got enough to give a hormonal fourteen year old girl a nervous breakdown.  Every day was a crazy whirlwind of emotions from trying to [...]

I had the incredible blessing to be able to live with my grandparents for my first year of high school.  I was close to my grandparents prior to living with them, but after that year, I returned to my parents with nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for my grandma and grandpa.  They are [...]

You know how sometimes you need a really classy, sophisticated meal to celebrate an important moment in life?  Perhaps its an anniversary or a birthday or a little bit of good news coming your way.  Chris and I had one of those moments this week.  The Muppets came out on DVD. Let me back up:  [...]

Red Russian Kale & Pea Soup

I don’t know where my obsession with pureéd soups came from.  I know it started somewhere around the time I had my wisdom teeth pulled, a couple weeks before this last Christmas.   It only intensified with the gift of an immersion blender from my husband.  Long after I was able to comfortably eat solid foods [...]

When we first became vegan, I was a tofu-scrambling machine.  I researched the basics online and taught myself along the way.  It was a good, easy go-to for any meal when we were still learning this new way of life, and we ate a lot of it.  I scrambled the heck out of some tofu!  [...]

On Urban Dictionary, one of the definitions (after several unnecessary x-rated definitions) for “Fiesta” is: A small economy car that is popular in Europe and/or other poor or liberal hell holes. “Billy drives a Fiesta and he is a communist.” That is actually not the definition I was looking for.  I was thinking something along [...]
