Drop That Burger! Who Said Vegetarians Can't Barbecue?
The following is adapted from an article by Priyanka Naik of ChefPriyanka.com. Whoever said that vegetarians and vegans can’t BBQ is in for a surprise! Here is a healthy, creative, delicious, and vegan Indian summertime recipe. Vegetable kebabs are part of contemporary Indian cuisine and are derived from “tandoori”-style foods: breads, veggies, and meats that are marinated and cooked in a tandoor oven, often without skewers.

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.

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.
LENTIL "MEATBALLS" IN LEMON PESTO
I cleaned up all the holiday remnants on Monday. I made piles of what needs to be returned, boxed up the decorations, and dumped our brittle wreath and miniature tree. No offense to you Christmas cheerleaders, but it all becomes a bit much for me - the lists, the toffee, the spending and the formalities. It honestly was a wonderful day, but I think this year, more than ever, we saw most clearly what we wanted from the celebration, or rather what we wanted to contribute to it, and I think next year will look different. My haste to clean up is a personality trait (a vice sometimes). I like things to be moving forward, to be improving and growing, and the New Year's holiday commemorates that.

Zucchini-Tomato Gratin Recipe
