Creamy Tortilla Soup

Blended corn tortillas thicken this creamy vegan tortilla soup. It's boldly flavored with cumin, oregano, chipotle powder & a splash of sherry vinegar.

soups / vegan / gluten free

I have this tortilla rotation: I buy (or make) fresh tortillas, and I freeze the ones I don’t use within a day or two. I’ll use those frozen tortillas for a while reheated directly on the gas stovetop. But before that batch is gone, I’ll inevitably acquire new ones. Soon enough, I have a random assortment of tortillas filling my freezer, all at various stages of pre-freezer burn. And then I make this vegetarian tortilla soup. About this vegetarian tortilla soup There are two types of tortilla soup: the thin brothy kind, which is usually made with chicken, and this creamy style.…

We share some snapshots from Austin Food and Wine 2013. Taste of Texas, the late night party Sips & Sweets, and the Rock your Taco event.

Just wanted to share some of our highlights from the Austin Food & Wine Festival… an eating extravaganza that Jack and I were so excited to attend last weekend. We had an absolute blast sampling food from so many fantastic chefs. These snapshots are from Friday night’s Taste of Texas, the late night party Sips & Sweets, and Saturday night’s Rock your Taco event. Special thanks to C3 Presents and Food & Wine for inviting us to be official 2013 AFWF Lifestyle Ambassadors.  (bottom left kimchi grilled cheese photo credit Cambria Harkey)

Spring Kale Panzanella

spring / kale / salads

This very green salad couldn’t be more timely. Jack and I spent all weekend tasting inhaling food at the Austin Food & Wine fest. And then we spent last night in some sort of food coma. Overall, I think we showed pretty good restraint… That is until Saturday night’s “Rock your Taco” event. We rocked tacos alright… And then a few tacos rocked us. But no regrets… kale to the rescue. A big bowl of it. This salad is part marinated kale and part and panzanella. Two of my favorite salads, together as one. Kale, fennel slices, peas and feta…

Rosemary Lemon Pasta

spring / vegan / lemon

A trip to Italy is in the works. Did I just say that? Ok, an idea of a trip to Italy is in the works. You’re the second to know… I just informed Jack the other night. Even though we have a long list of places we have not been to, somehow every few years we (the royal we) feel a calling to go back. Whenever I even hear someone mention a trip to Italy, I become insane with travel envy. So you can imagine the kind of envy I felt when I heard the story of a couple who moved to the Italian…

New feature: The recipe browser

features / tech

    I’m really excited to launch this new feature… Jack (my very talented programmer husband), created this newfangled recipe browser. You can now search by season, special diet, meal type, ingredient… and, best of all, a combination of them all. As you check boxes, the recipe options on the right will narrow down. For example, if you are looking for a spring, gluten free, breakfast recipe with eggs, you can see those options in just a few clicks. A vegan dessert with coconut? Coming right up… I hope this makes for happier, easier searching! Click here to start browsing.…

West Texas weekend

Last weekend, as the ACL music fest was getting underway and the traffic around our neighborhood was gridlocked, we bolted town for my friend Christie’s wedding. I’m totally crowd-phobic so in my mind she couldn’t have chosen a better weekend. Although, lets be real, I’m pretty camp-phobic too so this kind of getaway is out of the ordinary for us me. But it was such a fun, relaxing change of pace… it reminded me that we don’t always have to hop on a plane when we feel the itch to go somewhere.

My keys to the kitchen

I’m really excited (ok, totally flattered), to be on Aida Mollenkamp’s site today with a little interview sharing my keys to the kitchen. I always loved watching Aida on the Food Network, and I’m so excited to meet up with her this weekend while she’s in town for her Keys to the Kitchen book tour. She’s in Dallas and Houston today and tomorrow, but she has a really cool event happening in Austin this Sunday night at Hotel St. Cecelia. I think there are a few tickets left… if you live in Austin, you should come. Click here to go…
