This trait can be annoying (no judgment!), but it can also be kinda fun at times. Like right now, sifting through the Umami Girl archives for stealth-vegan recipes to celebrate World Vegan Month.

I didn’t realize that was a real thing.” Poor kid never had a chance to know. For her whole life, Cope has been using “baba ghanoush” as a fake answer to questions. Daddy, what comes after a trillion? Baba ghanoush.

It’s quite nice and also a little awkward. In that spirit, we wish you Happy Easter, or happy middle of Passover, or happy plain old regular Sunday. Happy Sunday!

If you pass these nachos, I'll be sure to have my arms—and mouth—wide open. They're vegetarian and packed with vegetables, but that's utterly beside the point. When I make nachos, I play to win. With powerful flavors, multiple sauces, lots of creaminess and plenty of crunch all balanced carefully in every bite, these nachos will ensure I'm not the only one paying zero attention to the game.]]> http://umamigirl.com/2011/02/best-nachos-recipe.html/feed 0 http://umamigirl.com/2010/12/marcella-hazans-bagna-cauda-recipe.html http://umamigirl.com/2010/12/marcella-hazans-bagna-cauda-recipe.html#comments Tue, 28 Dec 2010 23:15:41 +0000 Carolyn http://umamigirl.com/?p=4857 Pin it This week in the crisper, an honest alternative to those plastic-encased veggie and dip monstrosities in the supermarket. Marcella Hazan’s bagna cauda (literally, a “warm bath” of butter, olive oil, garlic, and anchovy) pairs beautifully with crisp winter vegetables and should have a place on every New Year’s Eve cocktail buffet table.
