  Mushroom Risotto For Two

  Posted on February 18, 2012 by Aparna B. in Food, Italian, Vegetarian

  Risotto is one of my favorite foods of all time. I LOVE it! The main problem, of course, is that it’s almost always made with chicken stock or broth. That doesn’t make it very vegetarian friendly. I always feel like the annoying customer who has to ask, “Is your risotto made with chicken broth or [...]

  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, [...]

  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 [...]

  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 [...]

  Baked samosas

  Posted on September 15, 2010 by Aparna B. in Indian, Starters & Snacks, Vegetarian

  I love samosas. They’re probably my favorite appetizer in all of Indian cuisine. And while they’re so delicious, they’re also oily because they’re usually deep fried. I knew there had to be a way to make them so they weren’t as unhealthy and when I saw my new favorite Food Network star prepare them with [...]

  Eggplant Parmesan

  Posted on September 3, 2010 by Aparna B. in Italian, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  I’ve never made eggplant Parmesan before. So I decided to make it tonight. Couldn’t be that hard, right? It wasn’t. The recipe I made I thought would serve just us two, but I think it could have easily fed 3-4 people. Starting line up: •1 large eggplant, cut into rounds 1/2-inch thick •2 eggs, beaten [...]
