Happy Evil Colonial Regime Weekend! Or whatever. Yay History! Sour grapes aside, the first weekend of July is a jubilant weekend for all of us here on this stolen continent. And what says “we have got it easier than anyone else on this planet” better than tasty, tasty cupcakes? Nothing. Nothing at all. I super like cupcakes. And these are delicate and sweet and pretty, just like the best of the settlers once they settled down some (I’m... more
Spinach and Chickpea Filling
On June - 27 - 2011
You know what you need right now? A crazy versatile filling. That’s right! Not money nor true love nor eternal health. You need something that will reliably taste great when shoved into something else. Well, you are in luck, my friend. This little green wizard can do just about anything! Great in potstickers, tortellini or pierogi, I even combined my leftovers with canned diced tomatoes, chopped olives and more chickpeas for a quick and... more
Pressure Cooker Black Eyed Peas with Dill
On June - 22 - 2011
Yes, yes, yes, it has been awhile! You are right! It’s been a busy, life-rearranging time for us over here at MyWholeDeal.com (which is just me. Shhhhhh. Sounds more professional if I inflate the numbers a little), but methinks we are finally back on track. Methinks, anyway. As I mentioned in my last post, oh so many days ago, my immediate future was looking decidedly different. My days began to be consumed by phone calls, meetings and various... more
Easy Lentil Burgers
On June - 8 - 2011
Hoo Hoo Billy. It has been a super-dumb week and a bit. So much stuff has transpired to change the trajectory of my little world and I just did not feel like cooking or blogging or talking to anyone. But, you can only be in a funk for so long before you are known as that funky chick and who wants to be that? Except for maybe Blossom or that funky chick who lives down the street from me, but they’re the exceptions, fo sho. At any rate, long... more
Mojo Cubano Potstickers
On June - 1 - 2011
I was snarfy hungry on Saturday afternoon. I think the kids are calling it hangry these days. Whatever the moniker, once my entire family had casually yet pointedly removed themselves from my presence, I realised I needed to eat something right quick or risk solitary confinement for the rest of the weekend. The problem is that, when you are picky and perhaps a little psychotically health conscious and vegan, there is really no such thing as fixing... more
101 Veggie Burgers for you to Put Avocado On, Apparently
On May - 25 - 2011
Really, everybody? But it is so icky!!!!! Thanks to everyone who participated in my 100th post giveaway. There are some seriously sloppy, sticky and tasty veggie burgers being constructed out there! Since I promised that the most pleasing combo [to me...it's my website!] would win, I found myself in a bit of a pickle (mmmm, pickles…): I REALLY dislike avocado. A lot. Guacamole with a whole lot of lime, cumin and chilli powder is sometimes tolerable,... more
100th Post Giveaway!!!!
On May - 18 - 2011
Whoooooop! It’s my 100th post! Yep. This one right here that you are reading: 100th. That makes me happy and when I get happy I give stuff away, which is why I try to live my life in a state of constant aggravation most of the time. I’ve got three kids, for goodness sake, and they super hate it when I give their toys away. Since toys are out of the question, how about a book? It’s BBQ season and this lovely tome offers up... more
