Hollie’s Hummus

January 3, 2010 by hollie Recipes

This is one of my favorite vegan snacks which can easily become a meal if paired with some fruit and/or veg. I put some white beans (that I soaked the night before and then cooked that day) into the Cuisinart. Maybe about two cups or so. I don’t measure, because I don’t believe in measuring. [...]

Sunday Night Soup (with bonus dorkumentary)

May 24, 2009 by hollie Recipes

I asked recently about recipes for savory bean soups, and among the comments was a recipe from someone identified only as Unwisely. There was also some recipes posted from friends I know in real life, but whose soup do [...]

May 13, 2009 by hollie Questions for the Audience

Ivana posted a yummy soup, and I’d love to make it. Does an alternative to the pancetta need to be found, or would it be as flavorful without it?

Kids love Cthulhu dogs!

April 24, 2009 by hollie Kids

My friend Sonja sent me a link this morning to a picture of these hot dogs, which were stuck with dry spaghetti when cold, and then boiled to create these completely awesome Cthulhu-squid-spaghetti monster dogs.
You can find the original post on Livejournal, where the guy who posted the photo says:
…..we tentatively call “hot dogs strikes back”. [...]

What’s the scoop on posting recipes?

April 21, 2009 by hollie Questions for the Audience

I know there are at least two librarians who read this blog, and I really need some help here. What’s the deal with re-posting recipes on my blog, from other sources? I want to post about some lentil chili I made, and I’d love to post the recipe, but it’s from a book. The obvious [...]

April 20, 2009 by hollie Recipes

I can’t stand store-bought croutons. They taste too salty and they go stale too quickly. I like to make my own, and here’s how I do it.
Hollie’s Fantabulous Easy Croutons
You’ll need:
A baguette (white or whole grain)
Some oil of your choice (I love sesame or olive)
Some garlic salt
That’s it. That’s all I put on mine. I [...]

Green smoothie before bed; the best medicine

February 10, 2009 by hollie Raw Foods

I’ve been eating horribly the last few weeks, which is about how long I’ve been in school. I’m sure these two things are connected. When stressed, I go toward the familiar foods, and I’ve been eating loads and loads of high-fat carbs, chicken (ugh), and sugar. I’ve gained three pounds. I can feel it around [...]
