Pleasant Eats: Glazed Carrots
http://pleasanteats.blogspot.com/2011/11/glazed-carrots.html
Saturday, November 19, 2011. Today was the last day of our local farmers market. It's always a bittersweet day, the last day we get to enjoy the 3 block stroll to the market on Saturday mornings, exploring and collecting the best gems and jewels of the locally produced in season foods. It's also a mark of the beginning of the holiday season, and the chance to embrace the change in the seasons. Whole and cooked them up quickly on the stove t. Op with a sweet, tangy and savory glaze. 1 tsp olive oil.

Pleasant Eats: January 2010
http://pleasanteats.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 10, 2010. Mango is a fabulous way to get your fruit fix in the depths of winter. Bright, sunny mango is delicious with a fabulous nutritional punch. Here's a light but flavorful way to end a meal. Not terribly sweet, but will be sweeter the riper your mangoes are. 1 envelopes envelopes unflavored gelatin. 2 cups diced frozen mango, thawed (Trader Joes handy here). 7-ounce nonfat sweetened condensed milk (about half a 14 oz can - extra is fabulous for Thai iced tea and coffee). To serve, r...

Pleasant Eats: November 2011
http://pleasanteats.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 21, 2011. Roasting is an amazing way to transform vegetables. I could never be convinced to eat cauliflower as a kid (it just looked like sad, albino broccoli), but slowly roasting cauliflower turns it into something marvelously delicious. Now, I can't get enough! 1 head of cauliflower. 1 Tbs olive oil. Pinch of salt and pepper. 1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese. Sunday, November 20, 2011. 8 apples (any variety), peeled, cored and sliced into small pieces. 1/2 tsp lemon juice. 1 tsp olive oil.

Pleasant Eats: September 2010
http://pleasanteats.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 12, 2010. Brussel Sprouts and Whole Grain Crostini. I don't recall ever being offered Brussels sprouts as a vegetable option as a kid. I'm not sure if my parents refused to even try to wage a PR campaign against the sadly maligned vegetable, or if they themselves were victims of poorly prepared Brussels sprouts. This ain't your momma's Brussels sprouts. Or if they were, I'd like to shake your mom's hand. Brussels Sprouts with Bacon. How to Cook Everything. 1/4 c of water. Saute the baco...

Pleasant Eats: My Take on the 'Super Charged' Cookie
http://pleasanteats.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-take-on-super-charged-cookie.html
Friday, January 21, 2011. My Take on the 'Super Charged' Cookie. 2/3 cup spelt flour. 1/4 tsp (rounded) kosher salt. 1/8 cup unsweetened shredded coconut. 1 Tbs of mixed dried currants and cranberries. 2 Tbs chocolate chips. 1 tsp baking powder. 1/3 cup pulverized chia seeds (I used my coffee grinder - you can also use flax meal, but I find it's flavor a little overpowering sometimes in baked goods and chia is a nice neutral flavor). 1/2 cup pure maple syrup. 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract. Comforting Ca...

Pleasant Eats: May 2010
http://pleasanteats.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 21, 2010. In another shameless bout of self-promotion, my second Better Bites piece is now up at Eating is Art! I hope you enjoy it! Monday, May 17, 2010. Vegan Chocolate Cake with Coconut Dream Frosting. Now, anytime you use the word 'vegan' to describe baked goods, most folks flee. In this combination, the cake is suprisingly moist and richly chocolately. It might lack that bit of mouth-feel richness butter can give but when paired with the coconut frosting, boy-oh-boy! 1 c almond milk.

Pleasant Eats: March 2010

Thursday, March 25, 2010. If you'll bear with me, dear readers, an aside from normal recipe fare for a note on nutritional research published in the last few months. FAT Those three little letters have been the bane of nutritionists and cardiologists throughout the US for the last three decades; And perhaps any chubby child on the playground and the menstruating woman (or her partner). Increasingly, however, research has been disproving fat as the ultimate enemy in America's war on obesity. We KNOW how t...
