chickpea, cauliflower + Old Bay veggie burgers w/ vegan cashew lemon mayo My little neighbourhood is small and chatty. I was pulling out dandelions in my front yard when an older man that lives a few houses down came right over in his bare feet and joked that I was wasting my time before he introduced himself. It is pretty hard to keep up with those little suckers, but! John reminded me that they are edible, because he’s seen some of the “little old Italian ladies” cooking them up with garlic and whatnot. “What do they call it again…?” he asked. So I finished up the little weeding session and poured myself an ice cold glass of water with a squeeze of lime, perched at my living room window for a minute. I think makin’ it better is almost always contagious if approached with warmth and casual grace. It’s those shiny bits of the everyday that make some of the more elusive, heavy-with-life things seem within reach. So as usual, plant-heavy meal preparation is the small focus strategy that reigns supreme. assembly etc.! Make the cashew lemon mayo.

84th&3rd | Spicy Carrot, Tomato and Lentil Soup I love soup. I know, it’s a big statement. There is this little cafe downstairs from my day-job office. They are friendly, and they make a good cup of tea and they have soup at lunch….$8.50 soup. It does come with lovely bread, but really, $8.50? It is not any more expensive, and is actually at times cheaper, than any of the other cafes around. This soup was inspired by one of their regular ones, and it is so simple I have made it twice already. Also, winter is really getting to me this year. At $8.50 a bowl I had to give this a go.

Zucchini Ribbons « Cooking Cleverly For the first few months I lived here, I lived mainly off of pasta. In the past, I’ve tried to avoid such a large pasta intake – not only does it get boring, but it is usually some sort of carbohydrate-heavy dish drenched with fatty toppings. Despite these usual fears, though, pasta was a safe option in a world of unknown and un-findable food. Having explored the grocery stores a bit and discovered some delicious Indonesian dishes, I am again veering away from pasta. Zucchini is not something that has interested me much in the past. Now, I have. This makes for a super healthy, tasty, and practically calorie and fat free snack/side/meal. IngredientsZucchini Lemon Salt & Pepper Galic Olive Oil 1. 2. 3. Like this: Like Loading...
