You know how recipes are just made up? I mean, some people have a lot of good ideas about food, and some people have extensive experience with food, and those people are probably going to make up good recipes. But still, they’re just playing around, asking themselves what tastes good. There is no right or […]
I don’t know if this whole idea of picking our five favorite recipes from each month is such a good one. I mean, this list might leave you with the impression that there aren’t others that we cooked again and again and will be keeping in the rotation. Like that (vegan) Farro Bowl with Toasted […]
I haven’t posted a lentil soup here in weeks. Weeks! Hopefully you’ve been managing to get by alright with that red lentil soup from last month. And did I ever mention that you can and should make The Best Soup of 2011 with green lentils? But what do you think I EAT around here, people? […]

I’ll give you a clue about what’s cooking around here….But first, this: I was just reading about October Unprocessed, a project that has inspired literally thousands of people to take a pledge to eat only unprocessed foods during the month of October.
