Oh my goodness, this beautiful autumn weather is great for my biking legs but bad for my school productivity! I can only handle like an hour doing work in the basement lab before the urge to escape to a park or the waterfront takes over. Over the past few weeks my destinations of choice have […]
Tag Archives: bowl full of veggies
A little of this, a little of that. [SWEET] Citrus-raisin scones for a British friend’s Birthday: I have a hard time with getting the right texture with scones (haven’t mastered the deft kneading hands), but I think these turned out all right! A bit mushy in the middle, though. I followed this recipe from Pinch of […]
A few things I have been making in the Bradley kitch… Carrot-zucchini-apple muffins. So much produce. Curiously bright green sauce! Parsley-tahini sauce (adapted from a Veganomicon recipe). Just about ANYTHING tastes good dipped in this. Rice crackers, veggie sticks, roasted potatoes, strawberries? Hahahaha no. Wednesday dinner for la famille: basic chili from How It All […]
This tangy green creation will spice up just about any salad. Dill tahini sauce from the mighty Veganomicon: Bowls full of grains/veggies are my fave. Wheaberries, sweet potato, golden beets, grated carrot, and bits of falafel: Sorry about the icky photos. I want to show my weird (yet delicious) veg creations but they always look […]
Hey, I made dinner and it wasn’t in a bowl-full-of-veggies-and-grains format! Whoopwhoop. Shepherd’s Pie from How It All Vegan. Obviously not so vegan with the addition of cheese on top. I also made some dill-icious avocado-tofu dip. Dang this stuff is good, even though it may be a bit scary-looking to the uninitiated. I used […]
Second term is off to a decent start! I was a bit shocked to find out there are PhD students FROM FRANCE in the graduate french lit seminar I’m enrolled in…which makes me nervous and somewhat incompetent as I’m the only student from outside the French department and clearly not a francophone. I will stick […]
Mmmmm weekend morning cappuccino (from Jimmy’s Coffee): I like this place a lot. It’s tiny though, so be prepared to hang out on the front patio! I made more Carrot Pineapple Sunshine muffins! Must continue spreading joy through baking. Carrot + pineapple + raisins + flaxseed + coconut = fruity, healthy treats. I also made […]
For now, at least! I am proud to say I handed in all my term papers on time, and respected the page limit. It’ll be nice to take a little break for schoolwork and spend more time the kitchen, on the bike (provided precipation remains at a minimum), and like, actually going out once in […]
Days like this are the best. Thank you mother nature for sunshine and autumn foliage. This morning was kind of annoying (sad fish face!). BUT there’s nothing like some intense dishwashing at Harvest Noon (I’m not kidding, washing dishes is very soothing for me, plus the people there are awesome!), a nice bike ride, park […]
Hahaaa the pattern continues. First two months of fall term, I spend a lot of time outside being carefree, cycling and going for walks in lovely places, doing course readings and small assignments but generally putting off difficult work. November rolls around, term papers loom, and all I want to do is spend time in […]
