Quinoa Broccoli Salad

Sunday, January 23rd, 2011

Last night was so much fun!  After much anticipation, I finally co-hosted a swishing party (I have been hoping to do this for a while now).  For those of you who do not know about swishing, basically it is a great way to get a bunch of friends together and swap clothing.  It was great!  […]

Sweet Pea and Mint Soup

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

As I mentioned in my last post, I am taking a mini-cleanse weekend.  Hopefully a jump start to reconnecting with my love for vegetables, and savory breakfast soups.  Saturday was day 1 and it went really well.  Yes, I did have cravings, but I did not give in.  I reassured myself that I will be […]

Greensicle Smoothie

Friday, January 14th, 2011

Fresh fruit and veggies are feeling good right now.  Like many, after the holidays (the cold weather and the dark skies) I am ready for a cleanse.  Somehow in the last few months, chocolate, baked goods, and salty snacks have become a much more frequent ingredient in my daily consumption than I would prefer.  And […]

2nd Anniversary and Chocolate Coins

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

Today is officially the second anniversary of my blog, and a celebration of another year of big changes.  Welcome to my “new home” at Nourish the Budding Lotus.  Many changes came about in 2010, and as a way to step forward with those changes, I have decided to move my blog and integrate it with […]

Cocoa Chocolate Chip Cookies

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

The holidays are coming, work is slow, it is cold and dark…and I am craving chocolate.  As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been enjoying Pamela’s Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Chunk Cookies, but I truly prefer to bake for myself.  Since I didn’t have my own cocoa cookie recipe yet, I decided to do […]

Pumpkin Tangerine Spice Cake

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

Squash, spices, citrus…  This cake warms my belly and my soul every time I taste it.  I have been playing with the recipe ever since Thanksgiving and I think I have found the perfect combination of ingredients.

Vegan Coleslaw

Monday, December 6th, 2010

The bustling Santa Fe Farmer’s Market has thinned out in the past few weeks.  Some vendors are no longer there, and almost all of them have moved inside to stay warm during the early morning hours of the market.  Once you arrive inside though, you realize that these farmers still have a great deal of […]

Tuscan Olive Oil – Olio Nuovo

Monday, November 29th, 2010

I freely admit it… I am addicted to olive oil.  I have always enjoyed it, and while others have their addiction to butter (which I am sorry to say I don’t understand) my love affair is with olive oil.  After living in Italy for 5 years, who could blame me?  Some people love the Bistecca […]

Sweet Inspiration

Sunday, September 26th, 2010

Baking and cooking is an art.  It is full of inspiration, creativity, adventure, risks, triumphs, and times when we don’t exactly triumph, but are hopefully inspired to try again with more awareness…  Sound familiar?  This of course can be applied to a lot of other facets of life…  I find that cooking is a gentle […]
