Monday, July 16, 2012. Mango Lassi Ice Cream with Beet Halwa and Crisp Rice-Coconut Laddu. I love, love, love beet halwa - so I was already thinking of making some from the beets we got from our CSA this week, but when I saw that the latest PPK Chopped/Vegan. Was a dessert challenge demanding beets as one of the four ingredients . . . I took it as a sign. The mystery ingredients were mango, red beets, dried unsweetened coconut, and crisp rice cereal. Picture with my broken camera. I've been making crazy ...

season of karen: November 2010
http://seasonofkaren.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 28, 2010. Thanksgiving is the big holiday in our family, so I spent most of the week getting ready for the big day. And here's what we had! Yes, that is. Two kinds of stuffing on the plate there - cornbread stuffing at the bottom and sausage stuffing at the top. All of the produce (yams, potatoes, chard, cranberries) came from the farmer's market. That delicious slab of protein in the middle there is Field Roast. S hazelnut cranberry roast en croute. Pie I'd ever had. Yum! I made this su...

season of karen: Summer Squash Cakes
http://seasonofkaren.blogspot.com/2011/07/summer-squash-cakes.html
Monday, July 18, 2011. Last summer, I made some zucchini cakes. A vegan version of crab cakes, the way I remember them from my childhood when we would head to the shore every summer. I've been a vegetarian for sixteen years now, but still. In the summer, I think about crab cakes. Zucchini or Summer Squash Cakes. 1 1/2 c grated squash or zucchini, patted dry. 4 tbsp olive oil. 1 c plain bread crumbs. 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning. 1 tsp kelp granules (I use this. Oil for pan frying. Mix together the squash, o...

Thursday, December 23, 2010. Pumpkin Cutlets and Solstice Dinner. At the end of last week, I revisited my squash nuggets. Recipe - this time, making cutlets instead of nuggets! I also didn't have any squash handy, so I used a 15 oz can of pureed pumpkin instead of the mashed squash. I used thyme, oregano, sage, marjoram, garlic powder, and a bit of salt to season them. They were superterrific this way! Then on Tuesday night, we had dinner with my dad and brother to celebrate winter solstice! Zelda chowed...

season of karen: Kale Pesto
http://seasonofkaren.blogspot.com/2011/07/kale-pesto.html
Sunday, July 17, 2011. The other day, as I stared at a huge bunch of kale from our CSA, a thought occurred to me. I love basil pesto; I've heard of spinach pesto; why not kale pesto? We had two small sprigs of basil this week, so they were recruited - along with said huge bunch of kale - into pesto! It took just as long to wash and chop the kale, assemble the other ingredients, and prepare the pesto in the food processor as it took for my pot of water to boil and the pasta to cook. Quick and easy! Green ...

season of karen: Cilantro Mashed Potatoes, Jalapeno Gravy, and Seitan Sausage
http://seasonofkaren.blogspot.com/2011/08/cilantro-mashed-potatoes-jalapeno-gravy.html
Wednesday, August 3, 2011. Cilantro Mashed Potatoes, Jalapeno Gravy, and Seitan Sausage. Tonight's dinner was awesome. And I can say this without bragging, because I didn't do a single thing. My wonderful husband, whose culinary repertoire to this point consisted of grilled cheese and english muffin pizzas, decided to make dinner for me tonight. I teach until 10 pm, so by the time I get home I am totally exhausted and starving and not feeling like making dinner. But! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

season of karen: Indian Potato-n-Kale Stuffed Peppers
http://seasonofkaren.blogspot.com/2011/07/indian-potato-n-kale-stuffed-peppers.html
Friday, July 15, 2011. Indian Potato-n-Kale Stuffed Peppers. We got some tasty-looking green bell peppers at the farmers' market last week, but I wasn't sure what to do with them - maybe stuffed peppers? And then inspiration struck. With some red-skin potatoes (also from the farmers' market) and a bunch of kale (from our CSA), I would make an Indian-flavored, spicy mashed potato and sauteed kale mixture to stuff the peppers with.

season of karen: Green Bean French Fries (Roasted Green Beans)
http://seasonofkaren.blogspot.com/2011/07/green-bean-french-fries-roasted-green.html
Thursday, July 21, 2011. Green Bean French Fries (Roasted Green Beans). We got the world's biggest bag of green beans from our CSA this past week - and I had a plan for them! But when I got home from school, P rejected that plan, causing me to scramble at the last minute to come up with something else. For about 12 minutes, periodically checking on them and shaking the pan around so they don't get crispy just on one side. So I guess that's a good thing? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
