Erin told me that this is a low-fat sort of quiche recipe, considering it uses no heavy cream. I did not know this. I do know that I approve of the joyous use of cheese in this recipe. BAKED POTATO CRUST (originally from the Enchanted Broccoli Forest by Molly Katsen) a little oil for the…

Menu for My Father’s Wake
Our father Hank passed away just before Halloween this year. He died in the evening, with family watching over him, and afterward we went back to the home of my mother and I for a wake. This is all simple & comforting food, easy to make and easy to eat. The colours are also really…
Vanilla Glaze Beets
I cooked! Finally. Pictured is a little late-night grub version. It’s baked spaghetti squash with these delicious little beets on top, and BBQ marinated tofu on the side.

Yam Fries with Miso Gravy
Sometime earlier this year, for a month, I ate this every day. It is ridiculously easy, addictive, and will make you fat & happy if you eat it as much as I did (BUAHAHA). Ingredients: Yam or Sweet Potato (or potato if you wanna go that route) – cut like french fries. A dab of…
Silvi’s Salad
I planted lots of lettuce this spring, in the hopes that it would inspire me to make more salads. It worked. Here’s what I put in my salad today. It was particularly tasty… 1/2 bunch spinach, chopped ~7 medium-size red chard leaves, leaves chopped into ribbons, stems chopped 1/2 bunch watercress, chopped (stems included) good…
