French Onion Soup
I first learned to make this soup from a 1970s slow-cooker cookbook, in my first year of graduate school when my roommate and I worked our way through all the soups in the book. They were cheap, they could be made ahead to be hot when you got home, and the Pacific Northwest almost demands…

Roasted Beef Stock
Those of us with soy, wheat and dairy allergies have a tough time finding bouillon and/or stock out there that’s safe. When you add a corn allergy to the wheat and dairy (I’m okay on soy), let me tell you, it’s all over. You’re going to be making it yourself if you want to eat…

Vegan Black Bean Pumpkin Taco Salad
During the holidays, I fully explored that cookie obsession that was in evidence in all of our Friday posts. Overall? They weren’t too bad, though the results were a little mixed.

Butternut Squash Soup
If I’m completely honest, I have some mixed feelings about butternut squash. In some preparations, its earthy and fruity and warming. In others, I don’t know, but I don’t like it. For our holiday potluck, though, one of my coworkers made an apple and squash soup that was quite lovely and tasty. She share the…

Whatever Wednesday: Merry Christmas review of Dancing Lion Chocolate, Manchester, NH
Our magical holiday discovery for you, our Christmas present to ourselves and you, is the discovery of Dancing Lion Chocolate in Manchester, NH. A few weeks ago, we went to a Science in the Pub lecture in Manchester on the Science of Chocolate. It was cool — we are both pretty nerdy, and science of…
