Thanks for hanging in there while Keepin’ It Kind went into hibernation mode through the winter. We had a nice long nap and when we woke up we had a nice big Springtime hankering for all things basil. I got busy in the kitchen and here I am now, presenting you with this lovely bowl [...]

Hey there! Who wants some cauliflower carnitas tacos? Now, I know there are some naysayers out there who will tell you that you can’t make carnitas out of cauliflower. “Carnitas can only be made of meat!” they’ll huff. Maybe some slightly more open-minded friends will say “I had great jackfruit carnitas once, but it only [...]

I’ve been job hunting recently. My work (I work with my husband in the locations department for films) outside of the blog has been a little on the slow side and it didn’t help that I turned down a pretty big show in order to write the book. I mean, I’ve worked (in an office, [...]

When I received my review copy of (culinary wizard) Terry Hope Romero’s newest book, Salad Samurai: 100 Cutting-Edge, Ultra-Hearty, Easy-to-Make Salads You Don’t Have to Be Vegan to Love, I died. I died and went to glorious salad heaven. In Salad Samurai, Romero shares 100 salads, all broken down by season. There’s also a slew of [...]

I went grocery shopping without a list for the first time in awhile. It felt pretty, pretty good (Does anyone else think of Larry David when they say that?). I’d forgotten how inspiring it was to just create a meal based on the seasonal items I found at the market or in my CSA delivery [...]

Cauliflower is quickly becoming my most favorite vegetable. It’s level of versatility never ceases to amaze me.  Whether it’s disguising itself as buffalo wings, lightening up mashed potatoes, holding together an awesome burger, or hiding in a cheese sauce, I am always amazed. Now it’s popping up in one of my childhood favorite chinese take-out [...]

Chris and I don’t have cable and don’t watch shows on television.  We do, however, have Netflix and a DVD player with a projector and a big white wall. We don’t watch too many television shows because, well, we don’t feel like it.  We do have our favorites that we watch over and over and [...]

Do you remember your first sloppy joe sandwich? I do.  And it was definitely a far cry from the most recent sloppy joe creation to emerge from my kitchen. My first sloppy joes experience was at my elementary school cafeteria.  My dad always woke me up, got me ready and took me to school.  This [...]

Recently, I was asked to do a guest post for one of my favorite blogs: Vegan Yack Attack.  I’m sure none of you are a stranger to Jackie’s incredible blog- full of healthy and delicious plant-based recipes and tons of beautiful photography.  How could I not accept? Jackie’s theme for the month is light and [...]

One of the things I love most about Chris is that he is a man’s man.  Even though he is a self-proclaimed techie dork and he’s better than me at folding clothes, he loves James Bond movies and watching football in bars (even though he doesn’t drink) and riding his motorcycle.  And he has tastebuds [...]

For our first Thanksgiving, after becoming vegan, we told Chris’s family not to worry about us- we would bring our own food.  We didn’t want to overwhelm people with having to prepare vegan food and I had no problem bringing a bunch of vegan dishes to share with everyone.  Chris’s sister, a super healthy-eating vegetarian, [...]

I have been dying to make a good cauliflower burger for about three months.  I attempted one back in early May, and the day after what Chris refers to as “The night of Brick Burgers,” Richa at Hobby and More posted the recipe for these gems. ” Ah ha!” I exclaimed (in my head, not [...]

I love spicy foods, but to be perfectly honest, my body does not handle it as well as it used to.  Back in the day, my friends and I would try the burritos at a different taqueria each Sunday.  This went on for about 2 or 3 years.  At one point, I felt confident to [...]

Two of my most favorite people to cook for are my stepkids, Maxwell and Sophia. They are eleven, twins, have very particular palates, and generally offer up good, honest critiques. Although they are twins, their tastbuds differ quite a bit. For example: Sophia loves peanut butter but Max hates it. Max is into cinnamon-flavored things [...]

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 [...]

For Christmas, Chris and I were given a Tagine as part of an incredible gift basket.  Our friends thought of everything- a vegan cookbook, a jar of couscous, orange olive oil, citrus herb salt, and this gorgeous Tagine.  Dan and Melissa seriously took gift baskets to the next level (Thank you so much, Dan and [...]
