Saravana Bhavan — restaurant review — California

by Kris   ⋅   April 2, 2008   ⋅   Comment now

If you think Amber India is good Indian food, then stop reading right now. If you’re one for a little adventure, try Saravana Bhavan. Piquant, pungent, vegetarian South Indian (Tamilnadu, I believe) cuisine that won’t break the bank (prices have been steadily increasing probably due to popularity, ~$5.85/main dish) revolves around various categories [...]

Wild Mushroom and Spinach Habanero Lasagna munchies recipe

by Kris   ⋅   January 17, 2008   ⋅   Comment now

When the spinach e.coli outbreak of 2006 arose, I almost died. Died because I couldn’t eat spinach. I luuuuurve spinach; raw or sauteed, it’s so good. I was doing Consultant work for Apple then, enjoying piling up the spinach from Caffe Macs‘ salad bar, but not enjoying their method of pay-by-weigh (heavy [...]

Ginger Spice Iced Cookies munchies recipe

by Kris   ⋅   November 10, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

Ginger is so Autumn, doncha think? The warmth of fresh Fall spices really inspire the soul and tempt the palate.. why, the very mention of it causes me to spout jenky poetry, apparently.
These Ginger Spice Iced Cookies are so soft and chewy and gingery that someone better stop me.. I feel a [...]

Meatless “Meaty” Tacos munchies recipe

by Kris   ⋅   October 17, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

I’m sure if you made these with actual animal flesh, you’d have a coronary right on the spot. I don’t do well with exact measurements or repeating routines (even if I’m following a baking recipe, I experiment and change it up often), so bear with me. I created this when I couldn’t find [...]

Banana cream pie has oft been the glut of paranoia for amateur bakers. Soggy crust, bruised bananas, lumpy custard; it just doesn’t seem like it’s worth the trouble. Well, I can attest that your woes will be unfounded with this super easy Martha Stewart recipe. The only pain-in-the-ass step is straining the [...]

Vegetarian Oktoberfest munchies recipe

by Kris   ⋅   October 14, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

Thought Oktoberfest was only for omnivores? Turtle Island Foods, the wonderful people who brought us modern-day marvels (vegan fare that doesn’t taste and look like cardboard), have quite a delicious selection of tasty pseudo sausages. Brown up sliced Tofurky Italian Sausage and Beer Brats (the first veggie sausages that were made for the [...]

Stuffed Bell Peppers munchies recipe

by Kris   ⋅   October 13, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

This was the “Inadvertent Lycopene Dinner” with Stuffed Red Bell Peppers and Strawberry Shortcake. I have no idea how you’re “supposed” to make stuffed peppers ‘cos I’ve never researched a recipe, but my way is verrry simple.. I just make some fluffy Spanish rice (simmered in veggie stock), stir in some paper-thinly sliced carrots, [...]

Nothing says I love you like Ravioli munchies recipe

by Kris   ⋅   September 27, 2007   ⋅   Comments [3]

I’ve been on a cooking/baking kick since Chris has begun Fall classes; gotta make sure he’s fed well! This is how much I loooove my hubby.. the other day I surprised him with homemade heart-shaped kabocha (japanese pumpkin)/pine nut/parmesano ravioli with browned butter and fried fresh sage. The pasta was also homemade beet [...]
