    The Rumbly Tummy: 24 Hour Banana Chia Pudding

    We are heading back into the studio, which means that we are working pretty hard to get our bodies in tip top shape. Which means, zero sugar. It's way too hard on our voices. It's a bummer, as this little folk duo loves themselves some gluten free treats. Sure, we could just omit anything sweet at all, but we want to actually have fun making this record, too. So, we dug through our fruit bowl and our cupboards and came up with a tasty treat that may even be good for our

    The Rumbly Tummy: Coconut Biscuits.

    Maybe thick, heavy biscuits aren't the most romantic food for this Valentine's month, but if there's one thing we know about love, it's that you must appreciate what you have to have love at all. And we have a ton of coconut flour. The thing about coconut flour is, it sounds festive. And maybe you also think you read somewhere in an article something about coconut flour and heart health-- or brain synapses? So maybe you pick some up in the grocery store and think "Huh, thi

    The Rumbly Tummy: Maple Baked Oatmeal Apples (featuring Makin' Maple!)

    We are happy to be on the road again, happy to be heading toward warmer weather, but we are sorely missing Vermont already. The snow, the tasty local foods, the friends-- and, of course, the maple syrup. Lucky for us, we stocked up before we left. Which explains our shameless plug for our friend, Chris, of Makin Maple. Chris and his son, Alex Parker (known as Alex Parker & Dad) is one of our favorite Vermonters. He's as sweet as his syrup, and when you are loading up on

    Remembrance Day Cookies

    On this day a year ago, we lost our best friend and first road dog, Butter. It's been a strange year without her-- all of us adapting in ways to compensate for the gap in our family circle. Just a couple weeks ago, on October 20th, we celebrated what would have been Butter's 9th birthday. We took a long morning hike and remembered what it was like to have two dogs to trip over, and delighted in Puddle's unabashed happiness at being off leash in the cool weather. I delibera

    The Rumbly Tummy: Dilly-Dally Beans

    These little squirrels are starting to feel that crisp Fall air up here in the Northeast. Which means that we've been dragging our feet quite a bit-- taking longer walks, a few naps, and generally getting ahead of ourselves for our winter hibernation. But as the stands at the Farmer's Markets are showing fewer tomatoes and more hard shelled squashes, we are finally getting a move on for our winter storage. No more dilly dallying for us. Except for beans. This month on Th

    The Rumbly Tummy: Roasted Red Pepper Tahini Dip

    Summer is winding down, and this little living-in-a-hot-tin-can folk band couldn't be happier to see Fall coming at last. But before we start roasting pumpkin seeds and doubling down on kale cranberry salads, we've got a lot of fresh summer veggies to eat up. And sometimes, simple is best. We love ourselves a good crudites platter-- sliced raw veggies with a pickle or two thrown on the side. And in the center of it all, a creamy delicious ranch. On occasion, though, we lo

That’s right, 10 shows, 11 days, 5 big ol’ states-Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Kansas and Nebraska then back to South Dakota. We’re not crazy and neither are we!

    The Rumbly Tummy: Coconut Citrus Tofu & Spinach

    Scott remembers the first time we made this Coconut Citrus Tofu & Spinach somewhere in rainy New England. We were too many hours away from our next gig to stop to eat, so Mallory insisted on "whipping up something quick" in the camper while Scott pumped gas. But something quick also needed to be something hot, as The R&T had successfully booked a "chasing winter" tour, which meant that they not only played Michigan in March and Canada in April and New England in May, but th

    It's been a fun month for us, celebrating Mallory's birthday, peaking back through familiar territory, parking in Nashville pal's driveways and streets, and snagging a few shows in between. And the food-- oh, boy. The Rough & Tumble are definitely carrying a few extra pounds on them. In Nashville, between their friend Kristie's celebratory vegan Nacho Night, picking up a few day job hours at her vegan meal delivery service kitchen (and getting to take home a few goods), an

    It's Mallory's Birthday! Which may lead you to believe that today's Rumbly Tummy would be a special birthday cake recipe. But instead, we are celebrating by bringing you a recipe for her homemade granola! Sure, birthday cereal may not be a tradition in your house, but here in Rough & Tumble Land, it's a staple. Also, we've been spending a lot of time at Mallory's sister Devon's house. She lives in Tallahassee in a place that has electricity and... get this.. an OVEN! An

    Beer Battered Avocado Tacos

    We have finally exited the Southwest for the Midwest, but before we keep heading southward to Florida, we thought we would reminisce on the delicious fare we indulged in while heading through that sunny-scape at our backs. Particularly, the Hatch Green Chile. As we left our friends in Tubac, AZ (a mystical sort of place near the border), they sent us off full and happy and with a well wish to visit Hatch, New Mexico on our way to Taos. The smell of chiles greeted us as we

    The Rumbly Tummy: Celebratory Krab Cakes for Fancy Occasions.

    It's hard to find a good crabcake when you go gluten free, as Mallory discovered five years ago. They're all fally-aparty and mushy without the slight crisp. And it's even harder to find a good crab cake when you go vegan. Sure, there are some delicious alternatives (we can go on and on about Sophie's Kitchen) that use this amazing thing called konjac root that makes a spongy, seafood like consistency. But there's something still a little less than ceremonious-- or fancy-

    The Rumbly Tummy: Goatless Cheeze

    We've been steadily working on The Rumbly Tummy: A Cook & Color Book since getting to Scott's parents' farm in Central California. We occasionally have to make trips outside of the small town of Dinuba to find ingredients, as there is a surprising lack of tempeh at the local Walmart. After kitchen testing all 54 recipes, we happened on New Year's Eve with a lot of extra room in our bellies on account of them stretching, and a little bit of nostalgia for the days of cheesebo

    We were all crying and gulping down our Watermelon Mint Sloshes as fast as we could. When we caught our breath, we kept taking more bites. It hurt so good. Ryan had a couple of requests, and jalapeno poppers weren't one of them. Ryan doesn't even really like spicy food. But with pepper season in full swing at the local farmers market, we had those little jalapenos wedged everywhere from behind the mustard to between ciders, and they were falling out each time we opened ou

    Okay, so maybe we were a little too zealous about winter. Heading to Ohio for February, Michigan in March, Canada for April, and New England for May. Spring sprung back in Tennessee weeks ago and is well into summer. But we've been grateful for our cold rainy days in the north. Plus, the excitement of tender baby mescalin in Maine, fiddleheads in Vermont, and asparagus (known in western Massachusetts as Hadley grass) is much more exciting when the snow has barely melted.

    Oh Canada. Now, we had heard of poutine before going to Canada. We’d even eaten poutine before going to Canada. We lived with our favorite, angry Irishman bass player, Mike Shannon, for a couple years, and every time Canada was mentioned in that house, his eyes lit up like Christmas morning and he told us about this magical dish: poutine! French fries covered in cheese curds, covered in gravy. To hear Mike speak of it, you’d almost think it was proof that the universe wasn’t

"We are spending next March in Michigan." And then, she furiously began sending booking emails. And then, she got responses. And that's how we found ourselves trudging through the cold and snow of Michigan in March. We haven't felt a drop of sweat for weeks, not even on our hikes. Mostly, we've been mass

    Mallory hates to make omelettes. You can ask her. She will scowl at you and make suggestions for a number of other elaborate, more time consuming breakfast options. She will pretend she is vegan again or change the subject to lunch. She will suddenly need to do another hour of morning yoga-- anything to avoid making omelettes. And truthfully, as a traveling folk band with minimal fridge space, we only indulge in them a couple times a year. Usually at a restaurant. With

Seeing as her previous tradition of pork and kielbasa and sauerkraut wasn't going to cut the new dietary restriction, The R&T has been enjoying this spin on a classic Southern good-luck dish for the last five years. Brown rice topped with spiced black-eyed peas topped with sauteed collard greens topped with s
