Seriously! Soy was served up in every little shape and size they could dream up. From icing on cupcakes, to dried out beans covered in sugar and cinnamon, they could almost change the name of the event to the Soy Food Festival. What did I eat the weekend of the event? I kicked it BYOS- Bring Your Own Salad/Smoothie. Now it's not that I hate soy... Okay, I do. I do hate it and all the ways it functions like plasticine- getting moulded and blended and cooked and baked into all kinds of things. Soy on it's own, in it's whole organic form is a-okay though. I will actually eat it, love it and feel okay after. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/19/soy-ing-the-seeds-of-love-with-edamame/feed/ 2 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/08/03/recipe-wild-rice-salad-summer-2/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/08/03/recipe-wild-rice-salad-summer-2/#comments Wed, 03 Aug 2011 10:00:33 +0000 admin http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=10691 Back in the day, before working and playing in this fine Kitchen, I used to work at an organic grocery store. I had loads of fun but apparently I was the only one who enjoyed that place because it went out of business shortly after I started working there (was it something I did?!)]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/08/03/recipe-wild-rice-salad-summer-2/feed/ 7 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/04/25/its-a-quin-iche-like-a-quiche-but-with-quinoa-2/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/04/25/its-a-quin-iche-like-a-quiche-but-with-quinoa-2/#comments Mon, 25 Apr 2011 10:00:46 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=9602 Now isn't this just the most brilliant thing I have come up with since last Friday's chocolate covered kale chips. For Passover last week, my momma made a great big beautiful dinner. The main event however was a turkey and I'm not a huge turkey lover. I am well trained in going to other's homes for dinner and my approach is always to make something super-powered delicious and that can be enjoyed by other guests too of course. So I made these!]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/04/25/its-a-quin-iche-like-a-quiche-but-with-quinoa-2/feed/ 18 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/03/03/chomping-at-the-grilled-veggie-bit/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/03/03/chomping-at-the-grilled-veggie-bit/#comments Thu, 03 Mar 2011 10:00:03 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=8624 I had a jolly 'ole lover of a time travelling the isel of St. Lucia and can't wait to show off some of my pics to you tomorrow. But the one thing I missed most was my kitchen. I missed having access to my clean, organized, pink kitchen and all the familiar tastes that go along with it. I was chomping at the bit, as they say, to get back into it and get cooking.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/03/03/chomping-at-the-grilled-veggie-bit/feed/ 6 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/01/11/gonna-kick-it-root-down/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/01/11/gonna-kick-it-root-down/#comments Tue, 11 Jan 2011 14:45:57 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=8007 Soooo? Did you see the show? And? The theme of the show was detox- kicking our bods into high gear post holidays and when it came to the cooking- we wanted to focus on what goodies were going to help us to shake a little of that junk from the trunk but still keep to the season, keep it whole, nourishing, warming, filling and of course my faves- beautiful and delicious. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/01/11/gonna-kick-it-root-down/feed/ 39 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/01/03/brown-bagging-with-quinoa-pleasure/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/01/03/brown-bagging-with-quinoa-pleasure/#comments Mon, 03 Jan 2011 10:00:33 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=7877 Now on to the recipe. I want so very bad to post my brand new sweet potato barley brownie recipe but feel like it might be a little too soon post holiday to start throwing sweet treats at you- so I'll save them until tomorrow. Enough time right? Instead I have the most amazing whole grain salad ever and this fits in perfectly with our goal for Day 7 of the 21 Days To Health Program: Brown Bagging It. As I so eloquently explain in the guide,this is one of the easiest and most fun changes to make. It’s easy because all you are doing is bringing food with you to work/school/wherever. It’s fun because you get to be your own little take out restaurant – you can pack it in cute containers and pretend you’re on a picnic.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/01/03/brown-bagging-with-quinoa-pleasure/feed/ 50 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/12/15/new-food-discovery-ackee-fruit/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/12/15/new-food-discovery-ackee-fruit/#comments Wed, 15 Dec 2010 10:00:52 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=7649 Trying new food is fun. Or at least it should be and it is one of the most fun parts of travelling- getting to try local goodies that are only available far away from home. This of course is therefore not particularly useful to you, but its' interesting and will definitely pique your curiosity. Ackee is awesome and I would love to lift it up into the realm of one of my favourite foods but it grows a little too far away for that. If it were eggs that kept me from being totally plant-based in my diet, than ackee would surely be the best solution. Ripe, boiled and then pan fried ackee is like the perfect mix of scrambled eggs meets firm avocado for texture. Forget tofy scramble- ackee fruit sauteed with some onions is the best scrambled egg replacement ever.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/12/15/new-food-discovery-ackee-fruit/feed/ 8 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/10/04/thanksgiving-recipes-vegan-vegetarian-stuffing/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/10/04/thanksgiving-recipes-vegan-vegetarian-stuffing/#comments Mon, 04 Oct 2010 10:00:30 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=6637 Thanksgiving is coming up this weekend up here in Canada so I thought it my duty to offer you some bird-free dinner options, that could easily and deliciously function as a full meal deals.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/10/04/thanksgiving-recipes-vegan-vegetarian-stuffing/feed/ 21 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/08/24/homemade-kefir-coconut-kefir-recipes/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/08/24/homemade-kefir-coconut-kefir-recipes/#comments Tue, 24 Aug 2010 10:00:39 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=6159 As not everyone can get the amazing Yogalicious Kefir Ice Cream I wrote about last week, here is a solution.
