Sweet: Trader Joe's Sells GMO-free Corn On The Cob

I get really excited when I start to see fresh corn on the cob appearing in grocery stores. It means summer is almost here!

Source SF: Beet Red Quinoa Salad And Green Curry Veggies With Eryngii Scallops

If you want a good place to ease into vegetarian and vegan food, Source in San Francisco is an excellent restaurant to visit. It's located down the street from Zynga headquarters. With all the plant-based foods at Source, it should be the digital restaurant in Farmville. It was my first visit to Source, and was a spontaneous decision after hanging out at the New Living Expo with a friend all day. Lots of walking made me hungry.

Gangster Gardener Food: Plant Nachos With Vegan Queso

 

 

This is how I throw down Mexican appies. That's right, it's plant nachos with soyrizo completely vegan and gluten-free inspired by Thug Kitchen's post about Roasted Strawberry Salad. Oh yes, that gooey melted cheese you see on the nachos is vegan. I call it Vegveeta because it kinda looks like and has the consistency of Velveeta minus all the artificial crap.

But before I get to the recipe....

Farmers Market Finds: Yes, Cauliflower Comes In Other Colors Besides White: Orange, Purple and Green

Doesn't cauliflower all of a sudden look more exciting in these cool colors? I especially dig the purple cauliflower because we all know how I love purple food. I saw these fun creatures at the farmers market in Moraga yesterday. Jazz up your platter with some colorful cauliflower!

Linkage: Because Rhubarb Is Such A Fun Word, Let's Make Some Pie With Strawberries

I like saying the word "rhubarb." It's fun and rolls off the tongue amusingly like "kumquat." In fact, I would name a pet rhubarb, maybe a cat or a bird.

Dinner Idea: Stir-fry Ground Turkey, Purple Kale, and Snap Peas

When I eat meat, turkey is usually my choice. This stir-fry coupled with Jasmine rice is one of my favorite everyday dinners. This dish is also gluten-free.

I found the vegetables at the farmers market. Purple kale is so fun!
