where are all the seasonal recipe blogs?

to be clear - its easy to search for recipes and i get both good and bad online - from sites dedicated to recipes to blogs. but im having trouble finding that perfect site where i can find recipes based on seasonal, local, fresh food while leaving out all the processed shizzle.

i mean no more canned stuff or produce that comes from far away. like right now - i need squash recipes and i need okra recipes and i really really needed turnip recipes like last week.

im trying to be positive.

banana milk which i invented

i tried to make rice milk the other day and it was not good. so today i was making a sweet potato pancake (dont get excited its processed like a mother) and wanted to use some kind of milk instead of the water it called for.

so i put half a banana in the blender - boom. then i added some water - boom. banana milk. and the pancake rocked my socks off.

i made some more tonight for the sweet sweet couscous. delish.

remember who invented it - me.

a vegan experiment

so i am trying to go vegan. so far ive been doing it two weeks or so. im not gonna go crazy but slowly ease on in. it just seems like the right thing. ill talk about it more on my gym blog.

sweet sweet couscous

i was looking at grains at the local grocery and decided on some golden organic couscous. i dont think ive ever had couscous before but a friend was eating it the other day and i thought what the hell.

tonight i tried it with a recipe from bobs red mill. here it is:

This dish is of grain consistency and is best served with additional soy milk.

INGREDIENTS:
3 cups Soy Milk (guess what i used banana milk, which i invented)
3 Tb Almond Butter *
1/2 cup Raisins (Unsulfured) ( i used organic currants because they were cheaper)
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
2/3 cup Golden Couscous
1/2 cup Almonds (Sliced)

Bring soy milk, nut butter, and raisins to a boil. Add remaining ingredients and return to a gentle boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 10 minutes.

*Cashew or peanut butter can replace almond butter.Makes 10 servings.
