Bringing in the new year with some kale, yo!

January 1, 2010 by hollie Posts with Photos

Greg took this a couple minutes before the clock struck midnight. I made sure to be drinking right at the moment the new year arrived (at least for Seattle’s clocks), and then had to give kale-flavored kisses (it could have been worse – I know how to make garlic soup).
I’m really really really looking forward [...]

The Mocha Medic

September 16, 2008 by hollie Posts with Photos

A few weeks ago Jason and I took Beth to the local fruit stand, and that’s when we found the best idea in coffee since coffee cake:

As we were driving up, Jason said, “Is that a refurbished ambulance?”, and sure enough, it was. TEN KINDS OF BRILLIANT.
We asked the woman how she got the idea. [...]

Green Goddess Hummus

September 15, 2008 by hollie Posts with Photos

One of the best ways I’ve found to get veggies, especially greens, into my diet, is to blend them into things. This works with smoothies, and it also works great with dips and spreads. While looking at Fat Free Vegan to find something yummy, I came across a recipe for something called Green Goddess Hummus, [...]

My particular sort of eating disorder

September 12, 2008 by hollie Posts with Photos

The last 24 hours demonstrates perfectly an eating problem I’ve had for years. A friend of mine just moved into a new place, and to celebrate, since he’s too far away to visit in person, I thought I’d send him some of my very delicious whole-wheat and barley flour chocolate chip cookies. I started them [...]

Kale smoothies FTW

September 8, 2008 by hollie Posts with Photos

I know what you’re thinking, believe me, I do. If someone told me ten years ago that I’d someday be enjoying smoothies made from kale, I’d have told them they were a couple bulbs short of a box, and they needed professional help.
But here it is, in all its considerable non-glory:
Hollie’s Favorite Kale Smoothie
3 C [...]

The Vegan Pancake Curse

September 1, 2008 by hollie Food and Recipe Reviews

Last night while Greg, Sonja, Jason and I were playing The Farming Game, I started looking at my shelf of cookbooks and wondering how I could pare some of them out. I remembered a project I’d wanted to start before, of going through each cookbook and making every recipe that looked good, thus “using it [...]

Beautiful rainbow vegetable bread

September 1, 2008 by hollie Local Food - The Pacific Northwest

This bread was a grand prize winner at the Kittitas County Fair this past weekend. I took the photo with my iPhone, and it doesn’t do it justice. The colors were bright and beautiful, and the loaf looked airy and delicious. The information tag attached said it was made with different types of vegetables. I’d [...]

Eating healthy at the county fair

September 1, 2008 by hollie Local Food - The Pacific Northwest

I loved the sign, but I didn’t actually try any. Their “variety plate” had onions, mushrooms, and zucchini, and I don’t like the first two. Onions are good when they’re in something, but I’m not a big fan of onion rings, and mushrooms I don’t like at all. Picky, picky, picky. The zucchini I probably [...]
