Grandmas Table



 I gave grandma's 1952 blonde table a little make-over. Using spray paint, I gave the chairs a bath in dark chocolate. A few days later, I was folding a pair of socks and came up with an idea for the rest of the table.

Leak & Potato Soup


Spicy potato and leek soup.
 3 potatoes, diced
water for boiling
3 leeks
1/2 white onion
1 serano chili pepper
2 tbls olive oil
2 cups vegetable broth
2 cups almond milk
sea salt - to taste

Carrot Veggie Burgers




Check out these brilliant carrot veggie burgers from Lukas Volger's book, "Veggie Burgers Every Which Way."

Don't fool yourself! This recipe takes a long time but the final product is well worth the effort. I modify every recipe so I had to make this a few times before I got the texture just right. Two secrets: 1. don't use too many carrots, 2. after you make your patties, place them in the fridge for 2-3 hours. This allows the moisture to really set in and grab hold of all the ingredients.
