Yum! The oatmeal recipes sound really good. I usually am a cereal girl but in the winter it’s time to mix it up! And the prepackaged oatmeal is also too small and leave me hungry again in 5 minutes. So your recipe sounds good! Do you have an oatmeal recipe that can be done all in the morning instead of overnight?
on 08 Jan 2008 at 12:04 am2jenna

Anne-

Yes, the oatmeal can easily be done in the morning. It actually would even be better if you made it in the morning! It will take about 5-10 minutes though because you really need to cook the oats on the stove.

Boil together 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup thick rolled oats (old fashioned or scottish)
stir in some salt, cinnamon and vanilla and stir. Simmer until thick (about 5 minutes or so)
you’re done! Top with maple syrup, peanut butter, banana or brown sugar!

Thanks for doing this site. Today I ate my first banana. No joke. I am 31, have never liked fruit, because of the texture. But I am really working to try new things. Your peanut butter oatmeal looked so good that I made it. YUM! And I am stuffed from eating it. Kudos and thanks again.

Question about the half wheat rolls (which sound delicious)—do you recommend rapid-rise yeast, or regular? I know they aren’t always interchangeable..

Thanks!
on 18 Jan 2008 at 3:09 am6jenna

Nicole,

I used regular ol’ yeast for this one. They are great and SO easy!

Hey I love macaroni and cheese so of course I love your recipe here for the healthier version. Could you use frozen squash to make it even quicker?
on 01 Feb 2008 at 1:35 am8jenna

Ashley,

You could def. use frozen squash!
on 01 Feb 2008 at 1:41 am9Ashley

Would you just defrost it or put it in with the cheese packet? or some other way?
on 01 Feb 2008 at 1:43 am10jenna

I would defrost it first then add it to the broccoli before adding the cheese/pasta mixture. Maybe I’ll try that next time!

hey Jenna,
I saw you had a really yummy looking quinoa dish the other night that you posted here (thanks!) and I just wanted to share another one that works as a great side dish when you want something like mashed potatoes… but better! I used quinoa and frozen cauliflower, and actually quartered the recipe (because I don’t have 8 to feed!) and it turned out great.

Mashed Grains & Cauliflower
- 1c minced onion
- 1tsp EVOO
- 2c millet, quinoa, couscous, or other grain of your choice
- water for cooking 2c of selected grain according to package directions
- 4c cauliflower (cut into medium-sized pieces
- 1/2tsp sea salt

Brush pot with oil and then add onion. Saute for 3 minutes, then add grain until toasted. Add cauliflower, salt, and water; cover pot and cook until grain has absorbed all the water. When the grains are done, mash the mixture together with a potato masher. Add a little water if necessary in order to get a smooth consistency. (serves

haha (the recipe serves eight). my 8 and ) were turned into a smiley.

Hey Jenna!

I had a suggestion for this page (I don’t know if this would be hard or time consuming to do, so feel free to decline!). Is there any way you could have a table of contents at the top with just the names of the dishes with the names being hyperlinks to the recipes below? It’s kind of hard to sort through and you have so many good ones it’d be great to just be able to see a list at the top of all the options and be able to click on the one we want.

Just a thought Keep up the awesome work! I want to try your chilli!

Hi Jenna, Just wondering, I wanted to make your whole wheat foccacia, but noticed you used rapid yeast. I have active dry yeast, what will happen if I use that?? Thanks!

Where did all your recipes go?!
on 12 Feb 2008 at 11:21 pm16hungry for bbq

where is the pulled bbq chicken recipe??! Bring it back!! It was so good and I didn’t write it down!!!!!
on 13 Feb 2008 at 4:54 am17Ashley H

Jenna- Where did all the recipes go! oh no!
on 13 Feb 2008 at 10:04 pm18Beth

When a recipe calls for tsp of mayo like your “chicken salad,” did you buy a whole lemon just for the recipe? Does the lemon really add that much flavor? Thanks!
on 14 Feb 2008 at 3:21 am19Sarah

I tried the meatless sloppy joe recipe tonight–amazing! Thank you!
on 14 Feb 2008 at 12:46 pm20Janie

I’m not Jenna, but just wanted to comment about the lemon question. Fresh lemon juice, or any fruit juice for that matter really does add an amazing amount of flavor. It is definitely worth it to buy that whole lemon!
on 14 Feb 2008 at 12:48 pm21jenna

Hi Beth!

YES! A tiny bit does go a long way. I would def. suggest shelling out the 50 cents or whatever for the lemon! So good!
on 14 Feb 2008 at 2:54 pm22Kerry

Yay, the scampi recipe is up! Thank you so much.
Quick question…the pinch of red pepper. Is that red pepper flakes, ground red peppercorns, or cayenne pepper. I’m heading to the grocery store before class today, so I wanted to be clear.

Thanks!

I’m so glad you were able to get home and surprise Ryan for Valentine’s Day. I think he was a little mopey yesterday without you. I’m sure he loved the cookies.
Have fun celebrating Valentine’s tonight.

on 18 Feb 2008 at 7:10 pm26Jenna 2

Jenna,
Can you please post your focaccia recipe? Also, I’m wondering..I made your beginner half wheat rolls, I followed your recipe exactly and they turned out extremely dry and hard? Do you have any thoughts why? I cant wait to make the vegan cookies

Jenna– I made the Olive Oil Cake and it was wonderful!!!!!
on 04 Mar 2008 at 9:35 pm28Megs

Oh no what happened to the Corn bread?
on 04 Mar 2008 at 9:37 pm29jenna

the cornbread recipe wasn’t mine…and I didn’t make any modifications to it so its sort of illegal for me to post it! I will be working on a new one soon!!!!
on 04 Mar 2008 at 9:46 pm30Megs

I understand – thanks jenna!!
on 04 Mar 2008 at 9:54 pm31Carrie

Can anyone give me the Olive Oil Cake Recipe?
on 04 Mar 2008 at 11:33 pm32Ashley H

can you put up the mac and cheese recipe again? (the one with the broccoli and butternut squash) That wasn’t a recipe you got from anywhere right.
on 04 Mar 2008 at 11:34 pm33Ashley H

oh and the swiss oats?
on 05 Mar 2008 at 6:34 pm34Serena

I would like the olive oil cake and swiss oats recipes too! if the olive oil cake is copyrighted, can someone let us know what book it came from/whose recipe it is so we can try to find it online or in the store? thanks!! i knew i should have copied those recipes down sooner!
on 05 Mar 2008 at 6:37 pm35jenna

Serena,

The olive oil cake recipe is from the Vegetarian Times Cooks Mediterranean, which is available for purchase in my store. I HIGHLY recommend buying this cookbook. I’ve made a bunch of things out of it and all have turned out amazing.

Jenna-

Can you have your mom re-post her crock pot pulled chicken recipe?
on 21 Mar 2008 at 12:19 am37jenny

on 31 Jul 2008 at 4:53 am38Trish

Hey jenna, on your jan 1st post, you said you were going to post your “amazing pancake recipe” on the recipe page but i cant find it. can i please have it??
on 13 Aug 2008 at 5:10 pm39April

Hi Jenna! I would also love your mom’s pulled bbq chicken recipe. I made it before all of your recipes got lost and it was fantastic!! Thanks for your great blog!!!
on 01 Sep 2008 at 2:20 pm40Teresa

Hi Jenna,

I love your website. It motivates me to eat healthy and cook yummy food for my 5 yr old twins. I was wondering if you had a white chili recipe you really like?

Thanks so much!!!

many months ago, you posted a vegan cookie recipe which i loved…but now, i can’t find it in my recipe box and i don’t see it on your list. would you be able to repost it?
on 04 Oct 2008 at 12:13 am42jenna

Karen,

Oh no! I’m sorry, I had to take off a few recipes that were not my own due to copyright issues. I’m not sure of the exact recipe you are speaking about (do you remember the name maybe?) but it was probably one of the ones I deleted. I’m sorry!
on 04 Oct 2008 at 2:09 pm43Betsy

I have been enjoying your blog! Thanks!
on 13 Nov 2008 at 12:08 am44Steph

Hello-I have been LOVING your blog and have tried and fallen in love with so many of the foods you eat. I get most of my goodies at Trader Joe’s because there isn’t a Whole Foods very close to me. I was wondering how you bake your Tofu? I really like tofu (the best carrot cake I ever had was made with silky tofu!) but I am a unsure how to go about it or which kind to get. Any suggestions?? Thanks for writing and posting the pics. They are great!
on 13 Nov 2008 at 7:54 pm45jenna

Steph,

See this post for a complete and total tofu breakdown! Good luck!!

Hey everyone,
I’m a new reader, and love the blog. Just wondering, does anyone have the recipes for the mac n’ cheese, the pulled chicken crock pot recipe, and the olive oil cake? Everything sounds fantastic. Thanks!

Q: do you have a recipe for your raw quinoa tabbouleh?
on 07 May 2009 at 11:30 am48jenna

Sarah,

The recipe for the raw tabbouli is out of the cookbook Raw Food Real World….its an amazing cookbook but sadly I can’t share the recipe due to copyright issues.
on 01 Jun 2009 at 11:23 am49Sara Webb

Hi Jenna! I just discovered your blog last week and have been thoroughly enjoying it! I am intrigued by your “green monsters” and was wondering if you have a post solely devoted to them. Is this something you came up with and if not what’s the original source? Thank you so much for sharing your healthy living choices! On a side note: I went back and read the posts about your brother and as I read tears streamed down my face. I cannot even imagine going through that ; my thoughts are definitely with your family. – Sara
on 01 Jun 2009 at 11:28 am50jenna

Sara,

I got the original green monster idea from Angela over at OhSheGlows.com and I think somewhere she has a post dedicated solely to them. Definitely worth checking out!

Hi Jenna!
What happened to your pasta recipe with chicken, olives and the splash of cream? Since you just ate it (YUM) i’ve been meaning to try it but can’t find it on here anymore.
Thanks so much!
on 29 Jun 2009 at 8:03 pm53Amy

Hi Jenna! You have been showing so many of those Supercharge Me cookies lately, but i can’t seem to find the recipe on here-could you help a girl out who needs some superchargin’ ?

Thanks, Amy
on 29 Jun 2009 at 8:16 pm54jenna

Amy,

The recipe is from one of my very favorite cookbooks EVER—Eat, Drink and Be Vegan by Dreena Burton. Due to copyright laws, I cant put the recipe on the blog but I highly recommend the cookbook!
on 29 Jun 2009 at 8:59 pm55Amy

Ahhh…good stuff-thanks for letting me know where to find it

Hey Jenna,
Just wondering if you have a recipe for home made muesli? I saw Barefoot Contessa make it on her show the other day but I don’t know how healthy it is or isn’t.

TIA!
on 19 Aug 2009 at 10:38 pm57annie

hi there jenna,
i have been reading your blog for a few weeks now..i love it and am inspired to learn more about health and nutrition! The biscotti you eat look delicious and like the perfect little sweet for the end of the day…do you make those or purchase them premade..if you make them could you email me the recipe?
thanks..keep up the blogging!
on 12 Sep 2009 at 2:22 pm58Courtney

Jenna,
My best friend told me about your blog. I read it the first time, not thinking I would on a regular basis, and now I just love to check it out. We are both runners as well, and train for marathons each year, so this is great to see someone with the same interests!This is such a neat idea, and I love your delicious food you post! I am also a Christian, it’s also neat how you share your faith on here- Do you have any good dessert recipes your would recomend? It’s a baking day today!

Jenna-

Loooove the mashed cauliflower. Its such a hit at my house!
Thank you for the recipie!!!
on 28 Oct 2009 at 4:45 pm60MMiller

Jenna, Tried your enchiladas tonight! Awesome! And I used Chobani plain yogurt instead of sour cream! And doubled the recipe to use a 13 X 9 pan! I fit 6 in the pan, mixed the leftover ingredients together and my husband will make a burrito in a day or two! He said after that meal, he could make me an honorary Mexican!

After not cooking due to cancer for the past 5 years, I am slowly trying to get back into it to give my husband a break! You have been making it a little easier with your reipes!

Thanks again, Jenna!

Hey Jenna!

I’ve been really inspired by your blog and have really taken to eating oats every morning Now I would like to try overnight oats as it is coming into summer here in New Zealand and would love a cold breakfast.

Could you give me some direction as to how I should make them?

Thank you

P.S. Hope the ankle is getting better!!

GF, I am so sad that you took down your channa masala recipe! I hope you’ll be presenting more of your cooking in Paris because I seriously miss your inspiration.

Cheers!
