Bacon Rice Krispie Treats

This definitely doesn’t count as health food; on the other hand, you can set these out at a gathering and pretty much guarantee they’ll be gone in just a few minutes, thereby sparing you the agony of continuing unhealthy temptation. So… why the heck not? Immerse yourself, however briefly, in the world of stunt bacon cooking. Continue reading

Take a picture, it’ll last longer

So I made this kale-rice gratin-ish sort of thing last night, and I put a little of it in a wee cute little white scalloped mini-gratin dish thingy and set it aside, thinking it would be lovely to take some pictures of it today in natural light. Terminally cute, it was, with its topping of slivered almonds and delicately sprinkled paprika. And the recipe made ever so much, and there was plenty left in the great big red gratin dish, and I was happy just musing on how cute that picture would be.
And then Jim came home last night and ate half of what was in the cute little scalloped dish. So you will have to use your imagination to envision how sweet that dear little dish looked all full of kale-ricey goodness. Sigh. Continue reading

Scotch Broth (w/no actual Scotch)

So I've heard, here and there, that global warming is actually likely to manifest itself as "global weirding." And yeah, I do know the difference between "weather" and "climate," but good heavens we're having an annoyingly weird spring. It's rained … Continue reading

Spicy Chickpea Soup

It was Angel's birthday–yes, that Angel, the Ladybug Lady, the creator of Drunken Angel Hot Sauce. So we were out a little late, and maybe debauched a bit, and then Angel, Sarah and I all ended up back at our … Continue reading

Almost Vegan Pea Soup

…and also about the split peas, which also didn't make it into this rendition of Veganomicon 's Double Pea Soup with Roasted Red Peppers. Red lentils took their place, also bacon. Never having eaten the original, I can't say whether … Continue reading

83. Out of the mouths of babes: Coconut-Red Lentil Stew

So when people hear about the Soup365 project, the first question they ask is usually: "Are you crazy?" And the second one is generally "What does your family think about eating all that soup?" Now, honestly, I've been waiting for … Continue reading

79. Eric’s Birthday Black Bean Soup

I am assuming that this was a good soup–it disappeared before I really got a chance to eat it. We brought it (in the Crock-Pot, natch) to our friend Eric's birthday celebration on Saturday night. A few folks asked for … Continue reading

71. Spanish Squash & Bean Soup (and it’s vegan!)

"What are you, smokin' paprika?" Not sure if smoking paprika has any discernible effect (aside from red, irritated lungs), but smoked paprika can take a dish from that's-OK to tastebud-party with just a few sprinkles. Great way for vegetarians to … Continue reading

70. But-My-Kids-Hate-Vegetables White Bean, Spinach & Red Pepper Soup

Apparently it is written somewhere in the Bylaws of Childhood that one must be a hater of vegetables. Green things–ew! Orange things–yuck! Purple things–weird! Perhaps that handbook was passed out in Cub Scouts or Sunday School or a D.A.R.E. assembly, … Continue reading

66. Humble Potato Soup with Arrogant Garlic Cream

Like most Americans, or so it seems, I like Thanksgiving better than any other holiday. Cook cook cook! Eat eat eat! Particularly easy to divorce from any tiresome ideological contexts! Oh, and pie… and mashed potatoes! Like more Americans than … Continue reading
