tempeh tacos, hominy, guac

new tempeh taco recipe. guac and chips. my smoky hominy.




pickle/lingonberry vinaigrette

i have had an excess of pickle brine sitting around so i decided to try and make some salad dressing with it. hence the pickle/lingonberry vinaigrette! contents: pickle brine with garlic and dill from the jar, pickles, lingonberries, olive oil, shoyu, pepper, white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, agave nectar, stone ground mustard, and i'm pretty sure i'm forgetting something. sounds odd but turned out delicious.

zucchini muffins

just made some zucchini muffins and mini muffins. i used the recipe out of erin mckennas babycakes cookbook as opposed to the chocolate chip zucchini bread recipe i have been using. they turned out well. they are a little less sweet and more like a breakfast muffin than a dessert!
