Dehydrator cookies for the win!

June 17, 2009 by hollie Food and Recipe Reviews

Here’s the result from my dehydrator cookie experiment. They’re surprisingly good! I miss the oaty taste that you have with baked cookies, so I might try adding some oats next time. There is a light note of flax flavor (unsurprisingly with 4 tablespoons of ground flax seed), which will take a little bit of getting used [...]

Dehydrator cookies, and lessons in problem-solving

June 16, 2009 by hollie Food and Recipe Reviews

I’ve noticed I have this tendency to solve a problem by solving EVERY OTHER PROBLEM AT THE SAME TIME. For instance, if the living room is a mess (thanks to my two little minnows who swim through the house leaving a whirlpool of destruction behind them), a normal person might think, “You know, we need [...]

The joys of juice for breakfast

May 25, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

This is what I juiced for breakfast this morning: an entire head of romaine, a lemon, two small apples, four stalks of celery, and a chunk of ginger.
I’ve been having this (or a slight variation) most mornings since I got my juicer, and I’ve noticed a few things changing. My taste for vegetables has increased [...]

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

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 [...]

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 [...]
