New Pumpkin Recipes Plus a New Project!

Jen — Thu, 25 Sep 2014 01:32:09 +0000

Hi Everyone-
Where the heck have I been? It’s been so quiet around here lately because I’ve been working on another project. I’m super excited to share that I have a new food blog called Kingfield Kitchen!

Why Kingfield Kitchen? This summer I moved twice, finally ending up in the Kingfield neighborhood of Minneapolis. I love my new neighborhood, my new kitchen and the opportunity for a fresh start. Kingfield Kitchen is a mostly healthy food blog that leaves room for indulgent recipes and a cocktail or two. Simple vegetarian recipes and clean eating will remain key focus areas. I hope you’ll visit my new blog and say hi!

In the meantime, here’s a look at my “natural light photo studio” (a.k.a. my side porch).

And here’s a peek at some of the things I’ve been making over at Kingfield Kitchen:

Things I’ve been making: winter recipes

Jen — Sun, 23 Feb 2014 01:22:54 +0000

Welcome to the Polar Vortex edition of what I’ve been making. Geez, this winter has been a tough one. When the weather gets me down (and gives me the sniffles) I take comfort in a steaming pot of soup. This Brothy Mushroom Soup has been my go-to recipe. It’s my vegetarian version of chicken soup. It’s full of good things like ginger and chili that taste great and clear the sinuses.
I’ve also been getting into kefir. I’m determined to go all DIY and make my own coconut kefir, but for now I’ve been buying plain dairy kefir. If you haven’t tried kefir, it’s thick and creamy with a pourable consistency. It’s tart and tangy and makes a bracing berry smoothie.
For lunches, I’ve been really into making vegetarian chopped salads. No two turn out the same, but it’s always satisfying to eat a Big Salad. I start by chopping some hearty greens, and pile on lots of veggies and a protein like eggs or tofu. Olive oil, fresh lemon and toasted nuts or sesame seeds add the finishing touch.
Of course, I’ve also been playing around with small batch baking. In particular, I love making a small batch of cookies. I seriously love cookies, but seriously can’t have them in the house everyday. So, I make just a few cookies when that sweet craving strikes. Lately I’ve been making these cookies made with mashed banana, cocoa powder and either almond butter or almond flour and coconut oil. I affectionately refer to them as Chocolate Lumps. The texture is part cookie, part brownie…mostly lump. They aren’t pretty but they are pretty tasty when a craving hits.
I’ve also been converting some of my favorite dessert recipes to use almond flour instead of wheat flour. It’s not always easy. This Almond Flour Apple Crisp looked promising, but the “crisp” part was soggy where it touched the apples. Next time I’ll try pre-baking the crisp topping granola-style.

Try to stay warm everyone!

Stress Cooking

Jen — Thu, 13 Feb 2014 02:14:59 +0000

Cooking calms me. It’s my hobby, my profession…one of my favorite things. So it’s not surprising that when I made a big decision today I headed straight for the kitchen. There’s stress eating and then there’s stress cooking. Tonight I did a little of both. This is what stress cooking looks like…
All that happened in about an hour. Roasting 2 kinds of squash, some sweet potatoes, a random onion and some chili-coated tofu. Oh, and a pot of cauliflower rice for good measure. (Whew. Breathe. That’s better.)

So what’s the big decision? I’m putting my home on the market. I’ve been dreaming about some opportunities that this old house is keeping me from. I crave freedom. Simplicity. Change. Calm.
