  • Beet Carrot Juice

    Holy hell, it’s been a LONG time since I made some fresh juice! My sister has been juicing and gave me an awesome beet juice while I was crashing with her. I forgot how much I LOVE fresh juice, especially with beets! So I whipped up the easiest most delightful little juice. I used just…

  • Ginger-Soy Marinated Tempeh Salad

    Alternate Post Title: “Sauce you could drink out of a giant mug.” Sadly, that seemed a little vague, and I wanted you to know what kind of sauce I made that you can drink out of a giant mug…. Cue garlicky, fresh, light, sweet, gingery, lightly cilantro-y, soy marinade. There’s this addictive restaurant here in…

  • Golden Cantaloupe & Persimmon Juice

    Happy Friday, friends!  I am so excited for a weekend.  I just want to relax a little, read, clean my disastrous apartment, check some Christmas to-dos off my list, and bake bake bake.  If my current mood that has me craving baked goods like mad lasts through tomorrow, there will be some goodies on the…

  • Sweet Curried Carrot Slaw

    I have a couple friends who raved about this curry carrot salad at the Co-Op in Sacramento.  They love it.  Crave it.  Tell me I must must must try it. I went.  They were out.  A few times. Finally I got this salad a couple weeks ago. Meh.

  • Cran-Carrot Persimmon OJ Fizz

    Want a recipe for a Thanksgiving-esque juice?  I thought so.  Perhaps have a glass of this and a Cranberry & Candied Ginger Muffin for Thanksgiving breakfast?  I’m totally doing that.  Decision made.  A friend of mine brought me a nice big bag of persimmons!  How gorgeous are they?

  • Secret-Ingredient Orange Julius Smoothie

    Welcome to my first (maybe annual) Juice & Smoothie Week!  This week, nothing but fresh juices and delicious smoothie concoctions.   Why are we celebrating such a festive occasion?  Well, for several reasons.  First, I have an excess of fruit in my freezer 🙂  Second, I have sooo many ideas for juices and smoothies and…

  • Ginger Sesame Carrot Slaw

    Just a quick little post for you today!  I needed a refreshing fast veggie dish for a hot and busy summer.  And one that doesn’t require turning on the stove at all.  You can whip this together in no time, and it is light and bright and filling. 

  • Farmer’s Market Quinoa Salad

      Why “farmer’s market?”  Because this is the perfect salad to throw in whatever produce you find at the farmer’s market – just buy what’s fresh and cheap, and throw it in this salad.  All you really need is quinoa and some kind of citrus for vinaigrette.   Not all of my ingredients are from…
