Fluffy Compromise Brownies

December 23, 2007

These sort of split the difference between this vegan brownies recipe, which was my jumping-off point for the numerous vegan brownie explorations I’ve done, and this non-vegan brownies recipe.
Preheat th’oven to 350F. Add these things to a (floured? I didn’t try this; also my pan is nonstick so I didn’t grease it; if yours isn’t, [...]

Winter Veggie-Pile

I don’t know what else to call it right now. It’s another one of my sautés.

Sizzle up some olive oil.
Add to the pan in this order:

1 chopped leek
1 to 2 chopped portabellas or the equivalent
a bunch of sliced-up red cabbage
a handful of sliced almonds
1 can of chickpeas

Add more oil as necessary throughout the cookage. Seasonings [...]

Cilantrosplosive Rice-Veggie-Cheese Thing

September 26, 2007

Dang guys it is seriously dumb not to post on a blog for over six months. Luckily I am here to reverse the trend and explicate my dinner of this evening, which was rather delicious. Since I improvised this and only thought of recording its making after the fact, this recipe will contain few quantities. [...]

Knock-You-Nakeds

February 19, 2007

I totally forgot about EphHampton for a little bit, but in the meantime I got the recipe for Williams’ famous KYN’s from Joe Gangestad. Since Jono’s been posting recipes, I thought I might as well share this one, which is of particular value to us Ephs!  I tried them out and they actually came [...]

quickest bread EVER

October 31, 2006

Dang people I am on a roll! Tonight I had a hankering to bake some bread, but there was no yeast and I hadn’t the time to make a yeast bread anyway, so I looked up some quickbread recipes online and then improvised my own recipe while running:
2 cups flour
1 to 1 1/2 cup water [...]

röschti recipe

October 30, 2006

Dang, what has this listserv become, like Jono’s Quarterly Recipeganza or something? Anyway, I just made a classic Swiss potato au gratin flippy thing called röschti for the first time and I think it’s pretty much a failsafe and pretty quick. And delicious. Also it’s vegan with the ingredients I used, and yet immensely rich [...]

rice/quinoa thing

September 12, 2006

Delicious, easy to make, and wicked wholesome! Note also, for more foodity, the gauntlet of sauces that I threw down earlier.

I just improvised this and am eating some of it right now. I don’t have any exact quantities because I threw it together as I went along, as I have been doing all the time [...]

So, uh, I have to start cooking dinners for myself now.  Does anyone have some great recipes lying around, at the ‘grad student’ bugetary, time, and skill levels?
