Black-Eyed Pea Fritters

Brent’s inability to fully review and select a recipe and realize it’s complexity struck again. This one required a new purchase and frying! I suck at frying. This week he picked Black-Eyed Pea Fritters from Vegan Soul Kitchen.
The making of this recipe required me buying a new kitchen appliance (not that I mind). [...]

Open-Faced BBQ Tempeh Sandwich with Carrot-Cayenne Coleslaw

Last night’s dinner was another one from Vegan Soul Kitchen. Bryant Terry had this recipe listed as one of his 6 favorites in the beginning of the book, so I was eager to try it. I’ve never eaten tempeh before, let alone cooked with it, so it was another interesting experiment. I had high expectations [...]

Jamaican Veggie Patties

Remember when I said I couldn’t wait to make this recipe from this book? Well, I did it this Saturday during my baking extravaganza. It took quite a bit of time (like 2 hours start to finish I think), and was a little bit frustrating at first, but it was so worth it. Looks pretty [...]

I’m taking one class over the summer, an online dosage calculations class, but I’m not expecting it to be terribly time-consuming. I feel so much calmer now that I know I can [...]

Artisan Bread – Finally!

Other than that exciting bit of news, it’s been a fairly [...]

We’re on Vacation

As I’ve said before, I love making cocktails at home. And at other people’s homes as well. While I’ve been on a vacation of sorts myself for the past few weeks, it’s been much nicer last week and this week having Brent to hang out with too. Today we just bummed around town [...]

Bountiful Harvest

I have been patiently trying to grow red bell peppers and cherry tomatoes in my front yard, and I’m finally seeing results. Nothing really edible yet, but things are definitely growing. Here is my pepper plant. It’s so cute!

And here is my cherry tomato plant!

Dinner
For dinner tonight we used our last bagels as buns for [...]
