Oh foodie world, how I have missed thee! I have had a CRAZY week that translated into a semi-crazy weekend. As things have slowly returned to “normal,” I’ve been inundated by thoughts of my foodie friends’ posts that I am excited to catch up on, and this salad. Well, actually,

Hoppin’ John Stuffed Poblanos
Posted by Tiffany Griffin
Dinner was almost ready–if almost means in an hour. I was hungry, light-headed, actually. And my friend was on her way. She arrived. I was still cooking. I turned the oven off with the poblanos inside so they would stay warm while I arranged and took pictures of my salad.

Hazelnut-Crusted Sweet Chili Tofu
Posted by Tiffany Griffin
Folks either love or hate tofu, and I’m convinced that anyone who hates tofu just hasn’t had it prepared in the right way. And by right way, I mean, treating tofu like a blank canvas. Keeping the painting analogy afloat (for all you artsy types out there)–this dish uses sweet

Sparkling Mint Cran-Ginger Punch
Posted by Tiffany Griffin
This year some of my closest friends and I decided to abandon new years’ resolutions. Instead, we made short term goals in five domains (food, work, working out, spiritual, and misc.) that we plan to reevaluate every few months and tweak accordingly. In preparation for my first set of goals,

Thai Tea Oatmeal

You know you are a true foodie when your Christmas presents from your sister consist of a huge jar of pink sugar crystals, vanilla beans, saffron, and Thai iced tea mix. You know you’re a super nerdy foodie when you jump up and down like a six year old upon

SMASHED Potatoes With Mushroom Ragout
Posted by Tiffany Griffin
When I was in graduate school, I took a pottery class, with the hopes that kneading the clay and learning how to throw pots on the wheel would help me vent stress. I was wrong, dead wrong, and should have just stuck with what I knew best–food. I should have

Four Accompaniments
Posted by Tiffany Griffin
Sometimes, it really is the little things that make the biggest impressions. And when you don’t eat meat, these ‘little’ things often separate “it’s oooooo kaaaaayyyyyyy…” from “OMG, can I have seconds!??!!?!?” These four accompaniments make a big flavor impact, but each of them use a few ingredients and only

Chimichurri Chik’n
Posted by Tiffany Griffin
I know we’re well into January, but I am still posting food from Christmas dinner! The week before Christmas, the teens at SEEDS and I made a faux meat dish (which elicited a round of “wait, wait, wait, this is not chicken!!!???”). In thinking about a protein for Christmas, I

Egg Nog Cheesecake with Hazelnut Glaze
Posted by Tiffany Griffin
I know that when you think of soy nog, you think of the holidays, but I personally do not stop consuming soy nog until they pull it from the shelves! If you are like me, and could drink (or bake with) soy nog all year round, this cheesecake is for

Posted by Tiffany Griffin
Admittedly, when I first went to the farmers’ market to get lettuce, I was searching for peppery arugula. But when I saw this red oak leaf lettuce, I couldn’t resist. The “greens” (actually the leaves are green and brick red) are satiny and soft, and the taste is delicate and

Roasted Carrots with Cayenne-Apricot Glaze
Posted by Tiffany Griffin
The first time that I ever heard the term ‘locavore’ was when the Boulder Locavore commented on comowater. I loved the term, and loved the concept behind the term even more–eat what’s in season and when you can, get it locally. Being a locavore was my inspiration for this dish.
