chia seed breakfast pudding
I recently had chia seed pudding at a terrific restaurant in San Francisco and was totally smitten. I love the stuff! It is healthy and light, but filling and satisfying. It is amazing to see the story of the chia seed in the United States: it evolved from a gag gift to a highly trendy […]

To counter the more traditional granola recipe I just published, here is an edgier, more experimental version. For this recipe, I was inspired by a trip to one of the world’s most amazing grocery stores, Rainbow Grocery. I am thankful every time I shop there that I get the pleasure of spending money at this […]

Here’s my latest — long-delayed, I realize. Apologies for a crazy few months getting in the way of posts to Veg Here! I continue to experiment with granola. My colleague had given me feedback on the last batch that it was too wacky. What she really loved in granola was a hearty, healthy, wholesome flavor […]

I have experimented with granola lately and my coworkers have been my guinea pigs. I really tried to push the boundaries with this granola, and I hit the mark for one colleague and missed for another. I was happy that it was bold enough to inspire strong reactions, so it felt like a successful experiment! […]

I had never made granola before, but I was excited to experiment. I recently ate some granola with chocolate in it, and loved the combination. The addition of the chocolate basically turns this granola into a deconstructed oatmeal cookie. The toastiness of the oats and the pecans, the saltiness of the pecans and the sweetness […]

vegan breakfast quinoa
Quinoa was one of those ingredients that I seemed to have a mental block around; I would eat it at potlucks and restaurants, and I would really enjoy it. But, somehow, I just never made it at home. Quinoa is actually a great ingredient to work with, and it is healthy, too! It is a […]

pumpkin-bourbon-pecan schmear
Here’s another holiday-inspired recipe! I was invited to brunch at a lactose-intolerant friend’s house this morning. They were having bagels, and wondered if I could bring a vegan schmear. Given that the weather has recently turned very autumnal in SF, I felt inspired to experiment with pumpkin flavors. The bourbon adds depth, the pecans […]

banana-dulce de leche milkshakes
We were hosting a family for brunch this morning that included two little ones. This fact, in combination with the windfall of Urguayan dulce de leche from our friend Katherine, was the inspiration for a little breakfast banana milkshake. I used frozen yogurt to create a lighter dish and added the dulce de leche to […]

I have been making this scramble for brunches for awhile now. The mushrooms add a meaty flavor and bite; the mascarpone makes the egg soft and rich. I serve this dish with sautéed tomatoes because I think it is a nice complement to the egg dish. The tomatoes are sweet and bright while the eggs […]

This is another schmear recipe from this summer’s wedding extravaganza! I think this one was my favorite — it will definitely fool the most hardcore dairy lovers! The sun-dried tomatoes and basil make this spread rich and savory. A hearty schmear is especially good on a toasted sesame bagel. Vegan Sun-dried Tomato-Basil Schmear Ingredients: […]
