Oh My Veggies

What I Ate This Week | Look, I made scones!

Kiersten — Fri, 25 May 2012 11:55:20 +0000

And I’m pretty proud of myself too. I’ve never made scones before, so I was half excited, half prepared for disaster. But it wasn’t a disaster! Blueberry Strawberry Oat Scones // See? It looks delicious, right? And these scones are vegan too! My husband ate three of them in about 10 minutes, which probably isn’t [...]

Recipe | Orange Cardamom Chocolate Mousse (Dairy-Free!)

Kiersten — Thu, 24 May 2012 12:25:13 +0000

Sometimes I think I have a touch of synesthesia. Example? Whenever I cook or bake with cardamom, I think of fuzzy argyle sweaters. I was quite sure this was another symptom of that pesky synesthesia. Next thing you know, I’ll start tasting numbers, right? Or hearing rainbows. (I bet they sound like ABBA!) But then [...]

Garden Update | Good-bye Spring Veggies, Hello Summer!

Kiersten — Tue, 22 May 2012 11:32:25 +0000

It’s the end of May, which means it’s time to pull the spring veggies out of the square foot garden and replace them with summer crops. So how did my garden do this spring? Well, I’m glad you asked! I was able to harvest a wee head of broccoli, a cabbage (that I planted last [...]

Recipe | Mini Vegetable Lasagnas (Made in Muffin Tins!)

Kiersten — Mon, 21 May 2012 12:50:55 +0000

I like small things. Tiny dogs? Love them. Baby corn? Yes please. Pygmy goats? I’ll take 12. For a while, I even collected those little erasers that are shaped like food for no other reason than the fact that they were small, exact replicas of delicious things. So obviously, when I find a recipe that [...]

What I Ate This Week | Quinoa, Tofu and Other Veggie Staples

Kiersten — Fri, 18 May 2012 12:32:02 +0000

One of the best things people tell me about my blog is, “I didn’t know vegetarians eat food like this!” I love hearing that because that’s the little ulterior motive I have with Oh My Veggies–I want to show the world that it’s not all tofu and veggie burgers all the time for us. But [...]

Recipe | Mushroom & Zucchini Quesadillas with Cilantro Pesto

Kiersten — Thu, 17 May 2012 11:43:34 +0000

How do you feel about cilantro? Because if you’re a cilantro hater, you may want to avert your eyes. (Or maybe run in terror?) These Mushroom & Zucchini Quesadillas have a generous helping of cilantro pesto on them. So you’ve been warned, okay? Personally, I love cilantro. I never really got all passionate hatred directed [...]

Raspberry Ginger Popsicles Recipe + Zoku Quick Pop Maker Giveaway

Kiersten — Tue, 15 May 2012 17:51:35 +0000

I’m not sure how it’s already May, but somehow it is. And even though summer is still a month away, lately it’s been feeling like it’s here already–the humidity, the afternoon downpours, the heat. Even the spring produce is quickly being replaced by summer fruits and veggies at the farmers market. Clearly this could mean [...]

Recipe | Fresh Corn Saute with Coconut Milk & Sriracha

Kiersten — Mon, 14 May 2012 11:17:42 +0000

So technically it’s not corn season yet. But I’m terribly impatient, so when I saw corn at the grocery store, I had to get it, even if it was from Florida. (I mean, Florida isn’t that far away, right? It’s kind of local?) These days, you can get just about any vegetable year round. Most [...]

What I Ate This Week | Trial and Error

Kiersten — Fri, 11 May 2012 11:30:42 +0000

This week was full of recipes that didn’t quite work out right. Some didn’t even make it to this post, like my injera. Injera is an Ethiopian sourdough bread that’s made in a skillet. Unfortunately, mine was bound and determined not to leave that skillet and it was way too sour, rendering it pretty much [...]

Recipe | Mexican Chocolate Breakfast Shake

Kiersten — Thu, 10 May 2012 11:49:42 +0000

When I was in college, I often started my day with a weight loss shake. I’m not gonna name names, but they rhymed with GrimFast. They were pretty disgusting (and kind of tasted like the can they came in–because really, who doesn’t like a gritty metallic chocolate flavored shake first thing in the morning?), but [...]
