Maple Bacon Peanut Butter Waffles

Maple Bacon Peanut Butter Waffles

So, this happened. After I made my Maple Bacon Peanut Butter, I was like “I wanna stuff this into dates,” and “I wanna make cookies with it,” and “I wanna make donuts with it,” and “I wanna spread this all over slices of apple,” and “I want this in a sandwich, stat!” and “I wanna [...]

Vegan Sausage French Toast Breakfast Sandwich

Vegan Sausage French Toast Breakfast Sandwich

Many years ago, during one of the hundreds of breakfasts I’ve shared with my grandfather, he poured maple syrup over his sausage patty. I should back up and explain that my grandfather has a history of trying to convince me to try different foods.  His usual explanation as to why I should try whatever it [...]

Heart of Palm, Jicama & Asparagus Cabbage Salad with Tangerines & Maple Sriracha Pecans

27
Heart of Palm, Jicama, Asparagus, Cabbage, Tangerines, and Maple Sriracha Pecans all in one salad?  Yes, it’s true.  I know that sounds like a motley crew of ingredients but you have to trust me on this one. I tend to be a play-it-safe kind of gal.  It’s very easy for me to stay in my [...]

My grandfather was a tile setter and owned his own tile setting company.  In the 1960’s, he hired a young high school boy to be his helper. My grandfather and his whole family, except for one of his daughters (who thought he was ugly and obnoxious), loved this boy.  The young boy was smitten by [...]

Chocolate Chickpea Truffles

The best part about fights is when you make up afterwards, right? To be completely honest, I don’t really have much experience with fighting/making up because Chris and I don’t really ever fight.  I”m serious.  We’re pretty good at talking rationally with each other and I don’t think I could ever bring myself to say [...]

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 [...]

Stone Fruit Cobbler Bars

Happy Independence Day to all my U.S. friends! Back in northern California, Gordon, one of my old personal training clients (whose daughter later became one of my best friends) used to have a huge 4th of July party every year.  There was a huge potluck, swimming, a mini-golf competition, way too much alcohol, and then [...]

Everything/Nothing Cookie

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.  [...]

Chilla (Chickpea Omelet) with Maple-Roasted Cheezy Broccoli

Broccoli and I used to be on not such great terms.  It wasn’t as bad as my past relationship with grapefruit, but I generally just avoided it.  After becoming vegan, I decided to bring more broccoli into my life (grapefruit could stay out, as far as I was concerned).  My search for broccoli recipes led [...]

Platinum Blondies

For the longest time, I had platinum blond hair.  I don’t want to say it was completely the fault of the 90’s, but they definitely contributed.  I don’t know what possessed me to bleach my already blond hair and fill it with golden “lowlights,” as my hair dresser called them.  Year after year, though, no [...]

Cinnamon Blood Orange Granola

Chris likes to have a big bowl of cereal (preferably of the clustered granola variety) for breakfast.  I’m more of an oatmeal gal, myself.  Brunch, however, is a different story.  We like to go big with brunch.  Since becoming vegan, we’ve tried so many different things for brunch, from elaborate waffles, french toast, omelets, frittatas [...]
