Stir-fried Potatoes with pork and cabbage
This recipe is very loosely inspired by northern Chinese Hunan province recipes for spicy potatoes. I think it was end of winter, but I just wanted hot potatoes and cabbage with pork, and this dish definitely fit the bill. Finding the right meat was harder than I thought it would be — pork was the…

Samosa Spiced Potato Puffs
When I suggested to MaryKate when we were planning our theme months for the year (yes, we know we’re crazy) that we should do potatoes for March, I was kinda thinking potatoes fit with March because of St. Patrick’s Day. Somehow, instead of an Irish themed dish, I’ve managed to come up with an Indian…

Potato Corn Chowder
We are definitely experiencing soup weather here in Seattle. I keep making the mistake of looking at the high temperature for the day and dressing as though it wouldn’t be cold and damp somehow. Seattle is more prone to wild swings of weather than I expected (thundersnow, anyone?), and I think soup weather might be…

Garlic Double Header: Toum Sauce and Garlic Sorghum Flatbread
It’s our last garlic post of Keeping the Vampires Away month, so I decided to do a double header. And they actually go great together, although you’re going to have to make heroic efforts to get rid of the aroma once you’re finished eating. The great thing about these two recipes is that they use…

Garlic and Onion Pakoras
Garlic and Onion Pakoras MaryKate and I were on the same wave length about our first recipe, in that garlic must be fried somehow. I’ve looked at doing pakoras several times, but hadn’t gotten around to it. I mean, fried veggie fritters with Indian spices? How can that be bad? So when MaryKate sent me some…

Whoopie Pies – Gluten-Free with Vegan Option
To cap off our Treat. Yo. Self. January. theme, I give you a big treat, Whoopie Pies. I’m fairly certain I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m originally from Maine. The whoopie pie is the official state treat of Maine and apparently the town of Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, has hosted the Maine Whoopie Pie Festival since 2009, according…

Clean Fridge Grain Bowl
Treat. Yo. Self. To a cleaner fridge and several healthy meals. I realize this might be a stretch in the “treat” category, but hear me out. I really LIKE vegetables, and I feel really good, both mentally and physically, when I eat a bunch of them. I’m not a fruit person, really. I love veg.…
