Weekday Vegetarian: Cheese Biscuits
I've made a lot of biscuits in my time, and I think this is the nicest recipe I've used. The biscuits rose beautifully, were light and fluffy and had a terrific flavour. They were very easy to make. It all went into the mixer,

Weekday Vegetarian: Potato Chip Frittatas
We have a federal election coming up on Monday, and my son has been working about 15 hours a day for the past three weeks hoping to get our candidate elected. I'm not good about doing things like door-to-door canvassing as he has been

Weekday Vegetarian: Aloo Kofta - Fried Potato Balls
Here is the second of the recipes that I promised you in my post on saag aloo yesterday. I inadvertently added more lemon juice to the potatoes than the recipe called for, so they were a bit more piquant than intended, but we all

Weekday Vegetarian: Saag Aloo - Spinach with Fried Potato Balls
In my post the other day on the leek tart, I wrote about the New York Times column the Temporary Vegetarian and how delicious their recipes always sound, despite the effort involved. Well, this week's recipe was so alluring, I made it

Weekday Vegetarian: Leek Tart
I often bookmark the recipes in the Temporary Vegetarian column in the New York Times, because they always sound so delicious. On the other hand, I hardly ever actually make them because the writer of the columnn gets the

Weekday Vegetarian: Baked Tofu with Steamed Sesame Bok Choy
It doesn't take much to get me interested in cooking Chinese food, but a little trip to Chinatown the other day definitely put me in the mood for it. Other than the shiitake mushrooms, which are quite different in an Chinese

Weekday Vegetarian: Dairy Free Pesto
I love the taste of traditional basil pesto with the lusciousness of the butter and two cheeses, but if you are vegan, or if you are trying to cut down on saturated fat out in your diet, you're not going to eat it. Here is a

Weekday Vegetarian: Analyzing Food by Way of Bacon Slices
Given that it is the weekend, you might be considering having some bacon along with your Sunday brunch. Like most people, you know enough to limit yourself to two pieces because it's really not that good for you. Lots of calories,

Weekday Vegetarian: Nourish
When my husband and I were at the Brewer's Plate this week, amidst the fancy chefs with their enticing dishes of stuffed morels, and beef brochettes and the like, there was a familiar red and white logo

Urban Farming: Farmer Meets Homeowner
Last month I noticed some signs posted around in my neighbourhood asking people if they would like to offer some of their yard space for a vegetable garden, without actually having to do the work themselves. According to a report

Weekday Vegetarian: Horseradish Hash Browns
Yes, you saw right, that's bacon on top of those hash browns. Before you start sending in your comments, let me say, the bacon is not integral to the hash browns themselves, it is a topping. If you are making this dish on the

Weekday Vegetarian: Pasta with Celeriac and Mushrooms
Celeriac isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you are planning a pasta sauce. Personally, I could eat a tomato based pasta sauce pretty much every day, but I felt like my husband had reached his threshold of tomato sauced

Weekday Vegetarian: Fried Rice
I believe it was just yesterday when I opened my post with "The sun is warming up, the robins are here, and my garden is growing...". Today, not so much. This photo is the view from my front porch this afternoon, after many, many

Weekday Vegetarian: Pasta with Swiss Chard and Mushrooms
The sun is warming up, the robins are here, my garden is growing, and I'm starting to dream about green leafy vegetables. So I broke down the other day and bought some Swiss chard. This is actually the hardest time of the year for

Weekday Vegetarian: Avocado Salad with Ginger and Peanuts
My husband flat out loved this dish. In fact, he liked it so much I'm making it again today. You have to be a fan of ginger because the flavour is really intense, and we both are. I'm also a fan of this recipe because I made the

Weekday Vegetarian: Onion Galette
I had some pastry left over from my mini quiches the other day, and I wanted to use it up. I didn't have enough for a pie, or really even for a small tart, but I figured I could get away with a galette.

Weekday Vegetarian: Broccoli Rabe, Potato and Rosemary Pizza
I once had a party where I had my guests make their own dinner. I covered my kitchen counter with plates and bowls containing every pizza topping I could think of. At the front of the lineup was a stack of aluminum pie plates with

Weekday Vegetarian: Lemon Vegetable Soup
When I was walking my dog this morning, there was a definite feeling of an upcoming storm in the air. Sure enough, three hours later the snow began to fall quite heavily. But it is quite warm out, so the storm is hovering between snow and rain and
