Pumpkin Soup

Wow, I’m actually posting a recipe!  It’s been ages.  My work friend and fellow vegan, Carrie, requested a pumpkin soup recipe, and I just happened to have a couple of little pumpkins lying around.  But most importantly, I didn’t have to work this weekend, so I actually had the time, ingredients and motivation to create [...]

BroccoLeek Soup

Ha ha, I combined two words Broccoli and Leek for a broccoli-leek soup. I thought that was better than naming it something after Linda Blair or The Exorcist – with the green coloring – though names like ‘Even the Priest Dies Soup‘ or ‘Excellent Day for an Exorcism Soup‘ did occur to me [...]

Revival: Breakfast Taquitos

One of my favorite aspects of Autumn is the desire to make big, comfy breakfasts. Among these dishes include pancakes or waffles, coffee cakes, or the always-favorite breakfast burrito (aka taquito)! Long-time Primate readers will know just how much Jo and I love our burritos – and it must run in the family, right Casey [...]
