Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

By keepinitkind On August 27, 2012 · 42 Comments · In Cookies & Bars, Dessert, Gluten-Free, Recipes

My mom used to keep candy in her purse.  She had various flavors of lifesavers- rootbeer, butterscotch, mint, and the classic rainbow of fruit.  She had hard candies and soft candies. Sometimes there were bags of m&m’s, Reese’s Pieces, or Skittles.  At Halloween time, you can bet there were a variety of halloween candies nestled [...]

One of the small joys I get every day is reading the search terms used to find Keepin’ It Kind.  The lovely and humorous Abby, of Abby Has Issues, sometimes reveals on Facebook the wild search terms used to find her site, and though mine are not nearly as crazy as hers, they do put a [...]

Roasted Portobello Soft Tacos

I dare anyone to argue with me when I say that portobello mushrooms are the most decadent of all the mushrooms.  Actually, let me rephrase that: Please don’t argue with me when I say that portobello mushrooms are the most decadent of all the mushrooms.  I’m just not a fan of confrontation. Sure, the shiitakes have [...]

Growing up, my mom and I would make cookies from one of those pre-made Pillsbury “Chocolate Chip Flavored” Cookie Dough rolls.  We would make them in the evening and by the next morning (after I ate the last couple for breakfast), they were all gone.  This is due to the fact that we would leave [...]

There are times when my creativity is flowing, and then there are times when the river slows to just a trickle.  Lately, the river has completely dried up. My mind has been all over the place, everywhere except in my cooking or writing.  I may pause, in the middle of preparing a dish, to ponder [...]

Pretty Pink Papaya Smoothie

  One thing I love about my husband is that I can tell him anything without judgement.  Except for one thing.  One thing totally grossed him out. The other night, I confided in him that as a child, I used to eat Pepto-Bismol chewable tablets like candy.  I would often sneak my parent’s Tums too.  [...]

Mango Peppercorn Glazed Tempeh Salad with Balsamic Blackberry Chia Dressing

By keepinitkind On August 8, 2012 · 21 Comments · In Entreés, Gluten-Free, Recipes, Salad, Sauces, Dips & Dressings, Vegan Tips
21
I know there are people out there who do not care for tempeh.  People who even strongly dislike tempeh.  I’d always been on the fence about it.  I have always liked it in small pieces and heavily marinated, the end product being hidden inside a wrap or a taco shell.  I like when restaurants do [...]

Cashew Maca-Maca Butter

Making my own nut butter is something I resisted for the longest time.  I chalked it up to needing a high-speed blender.  I settled on just buying peanut butter, free of any added oils or sugars.  Then, Rachel proved me wrong and inspired me to give it a try.  Then I put it off for [...]

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 [...]

There are times when I’m making something, a salad for example, and I just grab whatever vegetables I have on hand and throw them in.  Then there are times when I have a vegetable and I think to myself “What can I make to showcase these beauties?”  This was one of those times. My CSA [...]

Are you familiar with Spork Foods?  You know, the gourmet vegan food company in Los Angeles, offering vegan cooking classes?  It’s owned by two adorable sisters, Heather Goldberg and Jenny Engel?  They recently published a vegan cookbook, Spork Fed?  Yes, that Spork Foods!  Well, last Thursday night, Chris, the twins, and I had the pleasure [...]

Cacao Berry Bliss Bowl

What does “bliss” mean to you?  For me, it’s sharing this life with my partner, Chris.  It’s being at the beach.  It’s the way my canine roommate tries to spoon with me at night, her head on the pillow right next to mine.  It’s watching It’s a Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve.  It’s listening to [...]

Do you ever wonder how you could get more chocolate into your life?  It’s a thought that crosses my mind often.  It’s right up there with “I wonder what the new season of Arrested Development will be like?” (Answer: If it’s anything like the first 3 seasons, it will totally rock my world) and “Is [...]

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 [...]

Mini Black Bean & Sweet Potato Taco Bowls

Chris and I recently stopped into one of our favorite vegan restaurants for dinner, and we ordered a new item on the menu: a trio of taco bowls.  I am not mentioning the name if this restaurant because we were, well, pretty underwhelmed with this new addition to their fabulous menu.  It was mostly rice, [...]

Buttery Lemon-Almond Green Beans

I never ate a fresh green bean until I was about 24.  Until that glorious day, I had only experienced the canned variety (my family was big on canned food).  The age of 24 is when I first became interested in farmer’s markets and fresh foods.  I would buy mostly just fresh fruit, with the [...]

Since moving to Marina del Rey two years ago, we’ve discovered several things about our neighborhood.  We share the ‘hood with a TON of ducks (Chris and I refer to them as the Duck Gangs since they hang out in packs) and though they are partial to kicking it in front of the library, you [...]

You may or may not be aware of the fact that there is a contest happening today.  I’m not a very competitive person.  In fact, I usually run away fast shy away from competition.  It’s just part of my nature.  This time, however, when I discovered this contest, I got pretty excited. Basically, Isa Chandra [...]

Do you ever hold onto things in your life that are not useful to you?  Perhaps it is a pair of jeans that you no longer wear, but keep because at one point, they looked really great.  Maybe it’s the closet, full of baseball cards you’re holding onto because they might be worth something someday.  [...]
