Jackfruit & Tofu Tikka Masala

We're doing our second round of Vegetarian Whole30, and we're super excited about it. Justin made a beautiful Jackfruit & Tofu Tikka Masala.  He used this recipe, except he didn't really follow it.  Instead of cream, he used cashew milk, and he omitted the butter...

Feeling Juicy!

Im feeling much better today. I didn't risk it by getting up unnecessarily early, of course; had coffee in bed and dreamed of fresh juice. I thought I'd drop into Benefit Juice Bar on my way ho me from yoga, but logistics disagreed.

My favorite.

I woke up this morning in my own bed, half slanted to the right and thinking about how we need to fix that bed leg that we broke before we left for California. I lifted myself out of bed to find myself in front of the bathroom mirror; my hair reflects relative...

Sourdough 5 for 5

Sourdough 5 for 5

  So my experiments have been yielding consistent and pleasing results.  The last two loaves I've made have weighed in at 1100g, which I think really is a good size for my glass loaf pan. I've graduated to using the other glass loaf pan in the oven full-time to...

Sourdough Sandwich Loaf

Sourdough Sandwich Loaf

Okay, so I'm feeling pretty good about this  whole sourdough exercise.  I've made a third loaf of sourdough using the 1-2-3 method, and it is now working almost predictably.  This time I wanted to make a sandwich loaf instead of a boule or bâtard. I wasn't sure how...
