I was quite [...]

Raw Vegetable Sesame Noodles

July 23, 2009

When I was a kid, I absolutely loved Chinese Sesame Noodles. I haven’t had them in quite some time (they are not very good for you!), so when I saw this recipe for a raw vegan version, I was really excited!

Did you know that yesterday was national ice cream day? Ronald Reagan apparently gave this distinction to the the third Sunday in July, so I figured it was time to make ice cream…

The cucumbers and the dill in this pickled cukes and garlic scapes recipe came from my garden, and I picked up the garlic scapes at my local farmer’s market (next year I’ll grow my own).

Herb and Flower Salad

July 10, 2009

Here is a lovely salad inspired by an empty fridge and a garden that’s offering more for me to eat with each passing day.
With the exception of the dried blueberries and the sunflower seeds, everything in this herb and flower salad was homegrown (or in the case of the red clovers, wild).
I don’t [...]
