Sweet Potato Fudge Squares

Sweet Potato Fudge Squares

September 22, 2014

When I first started my 90% vegan lifestyle, I met a woman who had been a vegan for 12 years. I asked her what she did at restaurants that didn't have any vegan options. "Oh," she said. "Then I just order a baked potato and enjoy the conversation." People, I was aghast. That sounded (and still ...

Vegan Mushroom Pot Pie

Vegan Mushroom Pot Pie

September 20, 2014

Since I live with two guys who eat a lot more meat than I do, often times I'll make three things for dinner: a salad, a hearty vegetable "side", and baked salmon or chicken. Then I'll just have the salad and vegetables. Don't worry--I'm not subsisting on rabbit food. I'm talking about hearty dishes ...

Roasted Tomato-Garlic Confit

Roasted Tomato-Garlic Confit

September 17, 2014

I worked as an assistant cookbook editor for a major publishing house for three years, and during that time I acquired a lot of cookbooks. They were heaped under my desk at the office (next to another equally large and unsettling pile of "work" shoes), and stacked in my apartment on the coffee ...

Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Peanut Sauce

Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Peanut Sauce

September 15, 2014

This recipe makes me feel old. I remember first seeing it in print in Cooking Light, all the way back in 2006. I was a recent college grad then, and I made dishes like this all the time because 1) sweet potatoes are cheap and 2) I always had a jar of peanut butter on hand. I doubt I even realized it ...

Owen loves chocolate pudding. Sometimes I make it for him from scratch, sometimes we buy it from this fancy Italian market near his daycare, and sometimes it's pudding cups from Stop & Shop. Obviously, the homemade pudding trumps the others, but it's hard to find the time. Also, our favorite ...

Salad Granola

Salad Granola

September 11, 2014

I realize this sounds totally crazy, but when I decided to overhaul my diet and go mostly vegan, one of the things I was most concerned about missing was salad. Hear me out. I knew I would still eat lots of lettuce, but I'd become quite accustomed to topping all my salads with a shower of ...

Barley Salad with Kale Pesto

Barley Salad with Kale Pesto

September 8, 2014

I tore this recipe out of Food & Wine way back in July with the intention of making it immediately. I put it up on the fridge and looked at it all the time but…I never got around to actually preparing it. To be fair, it was the middle of the summer, and I was busy stuffing myself with tomatoes, ...
