Sometimes a quick and cozy vegetable-filled pasta dish is perfect after a long day. Total time (from chopping to grating): 45 minutes. Materials: 1 pot; 1 frying pan Ingredients: Pasta (I like spinach to go with the veggie theme) Oil for sautéing 1 cup milk Salt, pepper, ½ tsp ground or grated nutmeg (to taste)…
This is my favorite carrot cake ever… though the Carrot Bundt Cake is a close second when I’m in the mood for something richer. I know it has a daunting list of ingredients, but it’s well worth it (as are these Carrot Zucchini Muffins)! This fills two cake pans to make a double-layer (or 4-layer…

I love this recipe because it uses half the Thai curry jar and half a can of coconut milk, so I can make it twice exactly (though sometimes I use the leftover coconut milk for this Turmeric Chickpea Stew or this Yellow Coconut Thai Curry). Total time: 40 min, including chopping and split pea cooking…

Start these around 8am and they’ll be ready by dinner! Ingredients (makes 2 loaves): Instructions: 8am 1-3 days before: Get your starter to at least 1 cup active the morning…
These are chocolatey with just the right amount of banana. However, if one wanted to make banana chocolate chip muffins, I would direct them to this Banana Walnut Muffins recipe and say “replace the walnuts with chocolate chips!” Total time (including baking): 40 min. Makes about 12 muffins. Materials: 1 mixing bowl; measuring vessels; muffin tin.…
Yellow things (like lemon and golden beets) and blueberry together just make things good. The addition of beets (and iron!) add to the great texture of these muffins. Total time (including baking): 40 min. Makes about 10 muffins. Materials: 1 mixing bowl; processor; measuring vessels; grater/zester; muffin tin. Missing materials or ingredients? Look here. Ingredients…
I usually have a bunch of different types of beans left over, already cooked. I add them to some water with a can of diced tomatoes and bring it to a boil (takes about 10 mins) along with (depending on my mood) chopped carrots, collard greens, mushrooms, or some combination of the three. During that…
