World’s Best Homemade Pretzels
Posted on February 15, 2012 by Trish Haveman in Breads, PhotographyA week ago, my friend Adina brought homemade soft pretzels to Wednesday Night Dinner and they were divine. I have a standard soft pretzel recipe which I got in 7th grade home economics and have used ever since, and let me tell you … that recipe is never seeing the light of day ever again. [...]

Apple Sausage Stuffing
Posted on November 13, 2011 by Trish Haveman in Holiday, Recipes, SidesI am a huge fan of stuffing, but I’ve never been all that crazy about those eclectic stuffing recipes which have things like raisins and walnuts and other odds and ends tossed in. I’m happy to say, though, that I’ve found my favorite, ultimate stuffing recipe — which is slightly eclectic. For Christmas last year, I brought [...]

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds: 2 Ways
Posted on October 17, 2011 by Trish Haveman in Recipes, SnacksSaturday night, Ty and I participated in the 3rd Annual Power Tool Pumpkin Carving event at a friend’s house. This was our first time joining in, and I just have to say … carving a pumpkin with power tools totally appeals to the perfectionist in me. The eyes were perfectly round! Amazing! Perfectionism aside, I was [...]

Behold! The Mac ‘n’ Cheese
Posted on September 15, 2011 by Trish Haveman in Main Dishes, RecipesI’m a big fan of comfort food, and this definitely qualifies. I’ve tried a handful of vegan mac ‘n’ cheese recipes, and haven’t really been impressed. The only one I remotely liked used Daiya Vegan Cheese and the end result tasted (naturally) like Amy’s mac ‘n’ cheese, which you can find in the freezer section. [...]

Making (And Sticking With) A Meal Plan
Posted on September 12, 2011 by Trish Haveman in General, RecipesTy and I are terrible at planning meals. We’re both so indecisive that it usually means that we end up having to go the store before we’ve made up our minds on what to make for the week, which inevitably ends up with more impulse purchases, frozen items, and other “center of the store” items. [...]

Pumpkin Pie Bites
Posted on May 1, 2011 by Trish Haveman in Desserts, PhotographyOkay, yum. These things are divine. I made them for a cookie exchange that we had at my work, to celebrate some birthdays. Several people in our office are gluten-intolerant, so I decided to try to make something that everyone could have. The bites were generally liked, though I had a ton of them left over, since [...]

Spinach Linguine with Edamame Pesto
Posted on May 1, 2011 by Trish Haveman in Main Dishes, PhotographyThere aren’t many things that I could eat on a regular basis and not get sick of. In fact, I can only name two: oatmeal with berries and this amazing concoction from the PPK. Since Ty refuses to give this dish a try, I spend an entire week consuming the leftovers for lunches and dinners. [...]

Birthdays and Birthday Cakes!
Posted on January 31, 2010 by Trish Haveman in Desserts, GeneralYesterday was my mom’s birthday, so Ty and I made the trip down Whidbey Island to Langley, where we all got together at my mom’s house to celebrate. My grandma had offered to make my mom a cake (not like she had any energy to do it), and I knew that if she did, I [...]

Blueberry-Banana Bread
Posted on January 24, 2010 by Trish Haveman in BreadsIn cooking exploration, sometimes you come across a food combination that you never would have thought of (for some reason!) and you just have to try it. That was the case with a really funky sandwich that I made out of my Veganomicon cookbook, which had mixed results. Overall it was good, but I would [...]

Brownie Cookies!
Posted on January 18, 2010 by Trish Haveman in DessertsOkay, so I’m having a complete blast trying out recipes from my new cookbook, Veganomicon. My first try from the book was the “Chewy Chocolate-Raspberry Cookies” recipe. I call them brownie cookies, for good reason … ’cause they taste like brownies! I made three modifications to the recipe, which ended up leading to a fourth [...]
