Making up a batch of roti – I rolled them out extra thin and added a handful of chives in the dough, because I had some sitting around, purposeless. I love it when they blister and puff while they brown.

Paella with artichokes and spicy tempeh crumbles
This dish did not turn out especially photogenic, but it was tasty. Yet another Vegan Eats World inspiration… I followed the recipe pretty closely, aside from the pearl onions; I couldn’t find them organic (boyfriend is antsy about non-organic stuff) and… well, frankly, I am not a big fan. That texture isn’t my favorite. But…
Millet mango peanut salad and spicy black-eyed pea patties
Continuing my Vegan Eats World tour, tonight’s dinner is the millet mango peanut salad with black-eyed pea patties on the side. I don’t cook millet often, and usually mango is reserved for the boyfriend’s snacking needs, but these sounded like a lovely combination. And–besides the mango and all the dry ingredients–the veggies and aromatics were…
I was out of cereal, so I had to make blueberry pancakes instead. The boyfriend isn’t into pancakes so I will have to keep the leftovers for tomorrow’s breakfast. OH, UNEMPLOYMENT IS SUCH A BURDEN RIGHT NOW. (It’s been a week. Let me have my snarky freedom.)
Some eyes are blacker than others, apparently.
Curry laksa with oyster mushrooms
This week I actually planned ahead – at least three meals from recipes I haven’t tried before, using some ingredients I don’t normally cook with. Tonight it’s laksa, a (typically nonvegan) Southeast Asian specialty featuring a rich curry broth with rice noodles and herbs. I followed the recipe from Vegan Eats World, so it’s probably…
Just spent an hour going through some cookbooks I like but don’t cook from often enough, looking for recipes I wouldn’t normally attempt because they have ingredients I don’t regularly buy and/or seem super complicated and time-consuming. I’ll try to make a few of these every week while I can. I’ve got recipes from Isa…
Saturday quickies
It’s been a while since I felt like I was really in a cooking groove, but I’m getting back to it. Breakfast was a now-standby chickpea scramble from Isa Does It, with a side of braised chard and toast with Miyoko’s Double Cream Chive and sliced tomatoes. Reliably good. I woud’ve gladly made avocado toast,…
Friday night’s all right for stir frying
Usually I like to eat out on Friday nights – it’s always been a long week, I’m always tired, I always get home later than usual. But, well – I’ve been home all day, and I have an excess of tasty vegetables. Why not save money and the frustration of deciding where to go and…
I just lost my job. Their loss, I tell myself. Onward and upward. Until the next thing comes along, I’ve got plenty of time to reinvigorate my cooking. While I have grand plans about poring over my cookbook collection, pulling out recipes I always meant to try but didn’t have the time or energy to…
