Sloppy Chicks (Chickpea Sloppy Joes)

By keepinitkind On October 19, 2012 · 78 Comments · In Entreés, Gluten-Free, Recipes, Sandwiches & Wraps, Vegan MoFo 2012

The Chickpea and I had our first fight. I am a pretty neat person.  I like to have everything organized in a logical, easy-to-find manner and I’m a whiz with the label-maker.  I clean the kitchen before, during, and after I cook dinner.  I’m that person who will pick your drink up and place it [...]

Lemon Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes

With our busy schedules, The Chickpea and I don’t often get a chance to enjoy breakfast together.  What, with me being a working girl again and him being so popular with the ladies (at least he comes home to me!), breakfast is usually something quick that I can take on the road. After my first [...]

Chickpea Caulipots with Miso Mushroom Gravy

By keepinitkind On October 15, 2012 · 25 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Recipes, Sauces, Dips & Dressings, Side Dishes, Vegan MoFo 2012

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, [...]

After going for a few months (several years in kitchen prep time) without a food processor, I can finally say that my kitchen is Food Processor equipped! To break in my new toy, my man, Chickpea, decided to help out!  Inspired by nothing but the season and the chocolate chips hiding in the back of [...]

Pomegranate & Chickpea Quinoa Stuffed Squash

Always the romantic, The Chickpea surprised me with an extravagant gift. He had stuffed an acorn squash (winter squash being one of my most favorite things about fall and winter) with a mixture of golden beets, pearls of quinoa, emerald kale, and the most dazzling of jewels, pomegranate seeds!  I felt truly spoiled! The best part [...]

Chickpea Flatbread with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

By keepinitkind On October 9, 2012 · 51 Comments · In Appetizers & Snacks, Bread & Muffins, Entreés, Gluten-Free, Recipes, Seasonally-Inspired, Vegan MoFo 2012

There is just something about the word “flatbread” that makes me drool.  It’s very Pavlovian, actually. At the mere mention of the word, I am dreaming about warm, doughy bread, slathered with yummy things like hummus or tapenade.  When I read the lovely Shira‘s post on Chickpea Flatbread & Basil Pistou, I was mesmerized by her recipe.

My current love affair just got pretty hot and steamy. He managed to wow me by bringing along a couple of his friends, The Black-Eyed Pea and The Green Pea.  Things got pretty exciting… And by “exciting”, I mean “I made some chili!”  Then I ate that chili with some Chickpea Cornbread Biscuits! This recipe [...]

The Chickpea surprised me with something really sweet the other day. I know I’m a little late to the roasted chickpea party.  I don’t know what took me so long to get here or why I put it off for so long.  I guess I didn’t think I’d like them?  I thought I’d be put [...]

Chickpeas & Confessions: The Love Affair Begins

By keepinitkind On October 1, 2012 · 26 Comments · In Entreés, Gluten-Free, Recipes, Vegan MoFo 2012, Vegan Tips

“If you love it so much why don’t you marry it?”  Sound familiar?  It’s a phrase muttered by children on playgrounds everywhere.  Some obnoxious and/or drunk adults can even be heard using the phrase in what usually ends up being a somewhat awkward situation.  It’s also a question I’ve been asking myself a lot lately.

A question I get from my family often is “Don’t you miss (insert type of animal-based food here)?”  I always tell them that I do not miss (type of animal food) and I crave new things now.  These days, instead of my old stand-by snack of apple slices and cottage cheese, I really love a [...]

Book Review & Giveaway: Bravo!

By keepinitkind On September 24, 2012 · 79 Comments · In Book Review

When I was asked recently to review Chef Ramses Bravo‘s new cookbook, Bravo!, I have to admit, I had not heard of Chef Ramses or his book.  Ramses Bravo is the executive chef at True North’s Health Center in Santa Rosa, California.  Through his vegan cuisine, Ramses—who has worked in numerous hotels and restaurants over his 14-year career, [...]

Recently, I was at a party and I found myself in the middle of a conversation about cheese. The fact that I used to be the head fromagier for a pretty well-known cheese shop in LA came up.  The girl I was talking to told me that she was so jealous and that being a [...]

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 [...]

Cardamom Oatmeal Fig Cookies

Chris told me recently that “It’s not quite dessert unless there’s chocolate in it.”  Is there any question as to why I adore him? So I was all set to make some sort of chocolatey dessert to surprise him with after a long, hard day of work, when I found that I was out of [...]

The other day, after class, my yoga teacher said to us “Your sense of peace right now did not come from practicing yoga today.  It came from peeling away the unnecessary layers, revealing your true self.”  This really struck a chord with me and the entire bike ride home and for some time after, I [...]

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 [...]

When I was younger, my grandparents used to take all of us grandkids on huge camping trips every summer.  These camping trips hold some of my fondest memories of my cousins.  There was a large rock in the middle of the lake and we all had the goal to be able to climb up on [...]

Before we joined our CSA, we stuck to buying the same fruits and vegetables, week after week.  Even at the farmer’s market, if I had time to go, I knew which items I wanted and stuck to those.  I didn’t bother trying to learn what those “mystery greens” or what that “unidentifiable tubular-shaped vegetable” was.

Curried Lentils, Corn, & Chard with Roasted Potatoes

By keepinitkind On August 29, 2012 · 38 Comments · In Entreés, Gluten-Free, Recipes, Seasonally-Inspired, Thankfulness

I’m going to come clean about something.  Until I became vegan, I did not entirely understand the concept of  blogs.  I rarely looked up recipes, and if I did, I certainly didn’t take note of what blog it was on.  I would just make the same few dishes and occasionally wing it and make something [...]
