Creamy Potato Split Pea Soup

Creamy Potato Split Pea Soup

By keepinitkind On March 10, 2017 · 17 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Kid Tested & Approved, Recipes, Seasonally-Inspired, Soups & Stews
17
Recently, I’ve been really into bringing leftovers to work for lunch. Specifically, I like leftovers that come from a big pot of something and I preferably can eat it with a spoon. It’s also best if I can dip toast in it. This potato split pea soup falls into that category. Our office has the [...]

It has been ages since I’ve done a book review. And I have a stack of brilliant cookbooks that deserve reviews but I haven’t gotten around to it. And I have no idea if I will. I have really good intentions but I only have so much time and energy. But when I received a copy of [...]

The Big-Ass Salad with Basil Ranch Dressing & Pickled Red Onions

The Big-Ass Salad with Basil Ranch Dressing & Pickled Red Onions

The Big-Ass Salad. Enemy of Hunger. Titan of Tastiness. Friend to vegans everywhere. You know the image of the stereotypical scrawny, pale vegan, sadly eating a pitiful bowl of lettuce? It’s about as accurate as saying badgers are sweet, cuddly, winged creatures that fart gumdrops. Vegans are vibrant, healthy people who know how to do salads [...]

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 was a total theater rat in highschool, though I liked to think of myself as being a fine dramatic actress. I even dressed the part- I only wore black, except for my blackish magenta Doc Martens.  Oh, and my lipstick matched those boots.  I had quotes from Shakespeare written with a sharpie on my [...]

Chris and I recently just transformed our second bedroom/messy storage shed into an office/studio.  This room has gone from being my least favorite room (I would avoid this room at all costs, even though all of my props were somehow stored in there) to a very clean, organized and peaceful working space.  Instead of doing [...]

The job I was working when I decided to go vegan was as a nutritional advisor at a personal catering company, which was run by a celebrity nutritionist here in LA.  Daily, I would listen to people tell me about their food preferences and their goals regarding this new eating plan, whether it was for [...]

Nacho Potatoes

Oh, yes I did.  Because everything nacho-style is infinitely better. I recently made this discovery after sharing a bag of Trader Joe’s new Nacho Style Kale Chips with Chris.  They were pretty phenomenal.  I realize that this is not an earth-shattering idea because we all know that people have been making nacho-style kale chips for hundreds [...]

The other day, The Chickpea and I were trying to decide what to have for dinner.  He wanted Indian, but I was in the mood for breakfast. Breakfast for dinner. Breakfast for dinner is one of my most favorite things in the world, but relationships are about compromise (as I’ve been told), right?  Also, some [...]

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, [...]

Book Review & Giveaway: Bravo!

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

UPDATE 4/18/12:  I just read here that Seed Bistro is closing on April 28th!  If you live in LA, please hurry over to give this place a try before it goes! I have a habit of having the good intention of doing something, taking forever to do it (even resisting it at times), and when [...]

One of my most favorite cities in the world is Barcelona.  It is such a beautiful, whimsical city, complete with insane architecture, gorgeous beaches, the best farmer’s market you’ll ever go to, nap time, and tapas.  I’ve not been to Barcelona since becoming vegan, but as a vegetarian, there were a few staple tapas that [...]

Chris and I don’t exchange gifts for holidays or birthdays.  We feel that it has more impact when we give gifts on normal days, rather than a day that demands gift-giving.  We do, however, give “Non-Christmas Gifts” somewhere in the general vicinity of Christmas time, and Chris gives THE best Non-Christmas Gifts.  Last year, he [...]
