LPB’s Candied fruit Peel
I just made this fantastic recipe for homemade holiday gifts! LPB gave me this recipe and it came out great. It took some time but the work was minimal. I recommend coating all the pieces in some sugar when done, otherwise they seem very sticky and hard to package. 4 grapefruits (or lemons, oranges etc)…

Thanksgiving Tofu + Stuffing Towers

Sweet Curry Roasted Cauliflower Steak with Kale Chips and White Bean Puree
As a kid, I thought of cauliflower as the bland albino version of broccoli. However, as an adult, I love its subtle flavor and how versatile it is to flavor and cook with. This recipe is a very simple roasted “steak” seasoned with sweet curry and served up with kale and bean puree. Ingredients: 1…

Last Thursday was Thanksgiving and I whipped up a casserole out of the farmers market veggies I had on hand plus some stuffing and a side of cranberry sauce. The leftovers were also fantastic hot or cold! Ingredients: 1 butternut squash, peeled,…
