All the Foods

I have been feasting on all the colors, spending lots of time in my kitchen as of lately. Here are some pictures I have taken as these foods are in front of me, because I get excited enough to capture their beauty and vibrance before taking them in.

My corner fruit stand has been slaying it with grapes lately. I like to try fancy varieties because they have great prices.

Finally finishing the stash of pickled radish that has been in my fridge, I embarked upon having a new jar of pickles in my fridge for future months with English cucumbers and shallot.

More from the Turkish fruit stand! Ripe, earthy papaya. So fleshy and smooth. And so packed with health benefits.

I make a killer fruit salad. This is apple, pineapple, papaya, grapes and some mint. I pour some good lime juice into the salad to bring out the flavors and also hinder oxidation of apples.

My dinner–amazing tempeh “ribs,” mashed Yukon potatoes and sauteed spinach. So beautiful.

Ok, more cookies but this time for my testing 7th graders. These are little mini cookies, though there is not much for scale.

They loved the cookies and doubted that they were vegan. Of course they are! As if I’d bake non-vegan cookies!

Another fruit salad for my weekend road trip. I love a fruit salad on the road. For one, they help to keep my satiated and hydrated. And at the end, you have sangria!

A blueberry pancake craving. So nice to wake up and think, “I want blueberry pancakes.” And then just make blueberry pancakes.

Massive Brussels sprouts! Have you ever seen ’em so big?

Roasting a head of garlic for a batch of mashed cauliflower and potato. I kinda feel like this method mellows them out too much.

Tofu needs to be treated right. I wanted crispy tofu and boy did I get it.

Well I’m pretty full now, so Imma digest a bit.
