Scrumptious Meatless Tofu Loaf
This year will be my first gluten-free Thanksliving! 10 months ago I had to relearn my eating habits and at first I was lost & felt like I’d never be able to enjoy food again. I wouldn’t let negativity bog me down! I refused to eat processed, let alone mostly tasteless gluten-free options (and then…

Lemon Tahini Zesty Tofu Quinoa Burgers with Stuffed Delicata Squash
Last night I was craving falafels, but I didn’t have any fava beans on hand (d’oh!). I had to satisfy my craving so I decided to whip up a tasty replacement! As with any new recipe, it becomes a science experiment in the kitchen testing flavors and consistencies, hoping the end result is as scrumptious…

Simple Pumpkin Macaroni and Cashew Cheese Sauce
I’m in love with the Autumn harvest, which of course includes my true love, PUMPKIN! Macaroni & Cheese, in my opinion, is the definition of comfort food. I use my cashew cream sauce to make a normally-rich and heavy entree into a light, delicious & comforting meal. How can I step-up my mac ‘n cheese? …

Harvested Cranberry Bean Stew and Delicata Squash
This was my first time having cranberry beans, and I’m almost embarrassed to say, farm-fresh beans!! Where have I been hiding?! These beans were absolutely delicious; packed with folate, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, and protein, just to name a few. This was a delicious quick and easy stew for dinner with family. If you don’t have…

Shepherd’s Pie with Gratifying Gravy
I ventured for my first time to Balsam Mountain in the Catskills (http://www.trimbleoutdoors.com/ViewTrip/1325324). Boy, did the weather forecast get this one wrong! That morning you could certainly tell Autumn had left us; as we got closer to the mountain we could see everything above 3,500 ft elevation was covered with a fresh sprinkle of snow. …

Roasted Chipotle Pumpkin Soup
Sandy tore through the NorthEast coast with a vengeance. I had my floaties ready and my umbrella just in case I needed to channel Marry Poppins and fly out of here! I cooked up a storm (literally) preparing for a week-long power outage. For my hiking adventures, I have a handy dandy Pocket Rocket Stove,…

Avocado and Spinach Scramble
Today we’re preparing for Sandy’s arrival. No, not a dear friend, a Frankenstorm just in time for Halloween. Last year we were devastated by Hurricane Irene, then Halloween brought a freakish snowstorm. Halloween ’12 is knocking down the door, and it’s not packing any treats – only tricks! I’m keeping busy in the kitchen, trying to…

Farm Fresh Spaghetti Squash with Roasted Oven Fries
The fall harvest keeps on giving! Last night I paired local farm fresh spaghetti squash with organic roasted oven fries. Okay, they’re not really fried, they’re baked thinly sliced potatoes and they’re positively delicious! I’ve found the best cooking comes from hard work the heart; my dad inspired these potatoes. From the ages of 15…

Maple Sage Harvest Bounty Roast with Quinoa Flake-Crusted Tofu
If there’s one thing I take advantage of, it’s the farmer’s markets here in the Hudson Valley. After a trip to the farm stand with my dad, I had come home with what seemed like the fall harvest (and couldn’t have been more happy)! I’m sure we all have those evenings standing in the kitchen…
