  Israeli Couscous with Roasted Veggies and Tempeh

  Posted on February 16, 2012 by Aparna B. in Food, Vegetarian

  I don’t know about any of you, but I’m one of those gals who likes the pearled, or Israeli, couscous and not the superfine kind. I think the latter is a little too gritty but maybe I’ve never had it made correctly.  This recipe had roasted veggies, spices, chickpeas and tempeh. Proteinalicious! Before this recipe, [...]

  Vanilla Poached Pears

  Posted on February 9, 2012 by Aparna B. in Desserts, Food, Vegetarian

  International eating is what took place in our home tonight. It all started with REB and I wanting to do something with the leftover block of tofu we had. We hadn’t made any kind of Asian food in a while, so we decided to do our recipe of General’s Tofu. We used up some mushrooms [...]

  Lemon Grilled Tofu with Mediterranean Chopped Salad

  Posted on February 8, 2012 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Salads, Vegetarian

    The winter blues. OK scratch that. We haven’t really had much of a winter here, but it’s gone back to the weird, annoying cold weather. I swear, one day it’s in the mid-40s and the next it’s in the 20s. It’s also sad that I find 40-degree weather to be warm. Ah, Michigan. So [...]

  Cashew-Mushroom Pâté

  Posted on February 5, 2012 by Aparna B. in Food, Starters & Snacks, Vegetarian

  Made this tonight for the big game in addition to some other dips. We saw this recipe on the same site as the Seitan Piccata from the Vegetarian Times. We made a few changes, but it tasted really good! I’ve never had pâté but that’s probably because it’s usually spreadable liver of some animal or [...]

  Roasted Chickpeas with Rosemary and Sea Salt

  Posted on February 2, 2012 by Aparna B. in Food, Starters & Snacks, Vegetarian

  While REB and I are back on our health track, I have to admit I’ve had some cravings for bad, salty treats that I shouldn’t eat. You know, things like chips, chex mix…those kinds of bad things. So instead, I decided to make a snack that’s so easy to make and not terribly bad for [...]

  Salade Chèvre Chaud

  Posted on January 21, 2012 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Salads, Vegetarian

  Warm goat cheese salad. It was our favorite thing to eat at the Café Bosquet in Paris during our honeymoon. We’ve made this before, but we revisited it tonight and OH. EM. GEE. I won’t lie, it turned out even better. And tasted even better. So I thought it might be nice to re-post the [...]

  Tofu Piccata

  Posted on January 10, 2012 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  Tofu piccata was on the menu tonight! Once again, we went searching in the great Internet space to find another recipe that used tofu and REB found a recipe featured in the Vegetarian Times. It was actually a recipe made with seitan, but we had tofu in our fridge (like we usually do) so we [...]

  Tofu Marsala

  Posted on December 30, 2011 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  We had some leftover tofu in our fridge, so we decided to make something with it that wasn’t Asian-themed. Our usual go to is to make General’s Tofu, but we had that last night, so we wanted to find a recipe that used tofu differently. We found a recipe online for Tofu Marsala and it [...]

  Back in Paris

  Posted on October 17, 2011 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  Believe me, the photos from the trip are coming! I got through a lot of photos today from our first stop: Paris. I can’t stop thinking about Paris. I have been there before when I was 18 or 19 with my sister for three days. We packed too much into those three days and couldn’t [...]

  Spicy Paneer Tikka Masala

  Posted on April 7, 2011 by Aparna B. in Food, Indian, Vegetarian

  After making the tandoori masala yesterday, I wanted to make paneer tikka masala so I could actually use the mixture. The last time REB and I went out for Indian food, he ordered this dish and it was incredibly delicious and not too spicy. I decided to try making it based on what I remembered [...]
