After we played tennis and went swimming this morning I made these awesome waffles. This was an incredibly simple waffle recipe. It had 1 cup of unbleached white flour, 1 cup of soy milk, 1 tbsp agave nectar, 1 tbsp canola oil, 1 tbsp baking powder and a pinch of sea salt. The baking powder made them very fluffy so I had to stir the batter back ( Read more... )

Jared and I played tennis tonight and had a blast. I think I found an activity I can get on board with. We even wore head bands. Yeah, we got some stares ( Read more... )

Jared and I joined Netflix and we received our 1st 2 dvds . . . both the 1st 2 discs of the 1st season of the Sopranos. We plan on staying in this weekend and having a marathon. I went to the farmer's market to load up on some goodies. From left to right I got Omega-3 enriched Silk soy milk (yum!), broccoli, mung bean sprouts (hard to see), pasta, ( Read more... )

Thanks to my dad, I know how to make the best pizza crust ever. There is no measuring or kneading, just an eye for the perfect dough. My dad's dough is wetter than you may be use to seeing. I modified mine just slightly. I combined warm water, yeast, sea salt, agave nectar and olive oil. I slowly added in 1/3 cups at a time of unbleached white ( Read more... )

Jared and I are going to see Casiotone for the Painfully Alone at the Drunken Unicorn tonight so I am taking a night off from cooking. Not sure where were are going to go for dinner. We still haven't found a satisfactory Thai place in Decatur/ATL and haven't had much luck with Indian restaurants either since the vegetarian places we go to puts ghee ( Read more... )

This shepherd's pie was pretty good. Not sure if I would make it all the time, but it would nice to take to a potluck. It had onions, carrots, white button mushrooms, peas, walnuts, chopped up veggie burgers, red wine, veggie broth, dried marjoram, dried thyme, tomato paste, tamari and black pepper. It was traditionally topped with mashed potatoes ( Read more... )

Its been a week since we've had falafel and we are already craving it again. I had some falafel mix at home but no pita bread. I decided to make a salad with romaine lettuce, plum tomatoes, english cucumber and red onion PLUS tiny falafel balls, no bigger than a crouton, lightly fried in a combo of canola and olive oil. I drained and cooled the ( Read more... )

We didn't have an strawberries today so I made pancakes with blueberries instead. I used the same recipe I posted before for my strawberry flax pancakes the only difference being I added about a cup of blueberries instead of macerated strawberries. They didn't smell fruity while cooking, but they were just as good ( Read more... )

As far as our household's taste buds go I have pretty much mastered tomato sauce. I like to have some on hand in the freezer all the time now. This requires planning ahead. So, today I made a big batch of tomato sauce (enough for 2 meals). My basic sauce as I have mentioned before has sweet onions, garlic cloves, fire roasted crushed tomatoes, ( Read more... )

I got a new cookbook called The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook by Jo Stepaniak, which actually has a lot of promising recipe ideas. The very first thing I made from the book was the Traditional Macaroni and Cheez recipe, although I of course modified it since I wouldn't dare follow a recipe. While I cooked the macaroni, I heated soy milk in one pan and ( Read more... )
