Baba Ghanoush

September 10, 2012 By Hazel Leave a Comment

Baba what?! I had this dip once and I totally loved it. When I asked what it was, they told me and I said 'Whaaaaat?' ...... they repeated and I still had no idea! So, after scratching my head for a while, I googled the ingredients. There seems to be about 92034 different ways to spell this recipe, but I went with wikipedia's version because they totally never lie, right?! So maybe you have heard it called baba ganoush or baba gannoujh or no spaces or who knows, but if you like eggplant, you … [Read more...]

Banana Bread

September 4, 2012 By Hazel Leave a Comment

I absolutely LOVE banana bread. Why? Well, besides the fact that it is super tasty... I have fallen in love with any and every bread recipe that doesn't require rising, smushing, kneading or lots of mixing. I used to have a bread machine and I used it allllllllll the time. I did pizza dough, italian bread and even jams. Then it went to bread maker heaven and I just haven't gotten a new one yet. I tried making some pizza dough and while I wouldn't say it was difficult... I am a very impatient … [Read more...]

I have a snazzy giveaway planned very soon, but first I wanted to show off a couple yummy recipes I have made so far with this not-so-secret giveaway item! This is the first recipe I whipped up when I received the product and wow, it rocked my socks off. I love green beans, but sauteeing them up with tomatoes and other yummyness just put em over the top. Honestly though, I don't think I had ever cooked fresh green beans until this recipe. Crazy, I know, but I'll be making them much more often … [Read more...]

Pumpkin and Sunflower Seed Bread

I have been wanting to post this recipe for a hot minute, but I needed to get some more pictures! It took me a while because each time I made a loaf, I just ate it all and forgot about the pictures. So finally, I get to share this yummy bread recipe with all of you! The reason I love this bread so much, besides the fact that it's vegan, is because of how hearty and dense it is. Fluffy, light bread has its time and place, but this bread is just phenomenal. It can hold its own to pretty much … [Read more...]

Kale Chips

February 22, 2011 By Hazel 2 Comments

A while back, someone told me about Kale chips. I thought it was kind of weird, but since I am willing to try pretty much anything, I decided to make some. I wasn't sure what I was doing - I didn't have a recipe to go off, I just sort of had to wing it. They came out so awesome, crunchy and delicious... I was hooked! Now I make them anytime I can find Kale in the grocery store. They are crunchy like chips, but they still taste veggie-ish, so keep that in mind. However! You can season them any … [Read more...]
