I mentioned recently that I joined Pinterest. One of the main things I’ve gotten from it is recipes. Tons of them. Some of the recipes will happen some time and some that look really good but realistically aren’t ever going to see the light of day in my kitchen (whether because they’re complicated or sugar/flour-laden). [...]

Meatless Meals I’m Glad No One Has Made
Just letting y’all know … I’ve tried quite a few recipes in the last two weeks, and none of them were tasty at all. I made almond milk a couple of different ways but haven’t gotten it to a taste and texture that I like. I made cookies from the almond meal left over after [...]

Meatless Meals (I Wish) My Mother Made
There is a local restaurant chain here called Pita Jungle; they have really excellent food. I tried one of their specials a few weeks ago, called Couscous Salad, and loved it! I made a mental note of all of the ingredients and recreated it. While it wasn’t exactly the same, it was still quite tasty! [...]

Meatless Meals (I Wish) My Mother Made
There are so many variations on beans and rice. Today’s comes from No Meat Athlete; we made it with brown jasmine rice and white beans. The bites that included pineapple were quite tasty. The other bites were a bit bland—despite the onion and garlic—so next time we have this, I’m going to dice the pineapple [...]

Meatless Meals (I Wish) My Mother Made
Like last week, this recipe came from Simply Life. It looked easy and delicious, and it was! And finally, I have a picture! We added more than called for of just about everything, but that’s the beauty of the flexibility of soup. Also, the recipe doesn’t indicate when to add the peas. I added them [...]

Meatless Meals (I Wish) My Mother Made
This recipe came through my RSS feed from Simply Life. I hadn’t had dumplings in a really long time, and these looked tasty and easy to make. The Big Man put this one together and he said it wasn’t too hard. Very tasty! We never have cow’s milk on hand, so we used rice milk [...]

Meatless Meals (I Wish) My Mother Made
It has been a long time since I posted a recipe, mainly because it’s been a long time since we tried a new one. This recipe came through my e-mail, but when I saved it, I didn’t note from where. If you know who this recipe should be attributed to, please let me know and [...]

Meatless Meals (I Wish) My Mother Made
It has been a long time since I posted a recipe here. Truth be told, that is because we have been completely slacking off on trying new recipes … and sometimes on making old recipes … As part of taking care of The Kid (-to be), I have gone dairy-free for a while. In an [...]

Homemade Deodorant … And Shampoo?
A long time ago — probably a year? — I saw this recipe for homemade deodorant and was interested to try it. I bought most of the ingredients but couldn’t find shea or cocoa butter that wasn’t scented. I was also slightly wary, as the coconut oil would melt around here. We have some in [...]
