About FoodArchMage

I'm enthusiastic about food, but wanted to share recipes and write without the seriousness that frequently accompanies heath food... so I decided to keep it lighthearted and write from a mage's perspective!

Sweet and Spicy Carrots and Chickpeas

Posted on June 24, 2015 by FoodArchMage

I’m particularly proud of a bit of magic I was able to do this past week. Over the weekend I had gone on a broomstick tour, which was definitely fun, but put me behind on household errands and chores. I … Continue reading →

No-Noodle Lasagna

Posted on June 3, 2015 by FoodArchMage

Not-cho Cheeze!

Posted on May 27, 2015 by FoodArchMage

Simpler Stuffed Peppers

Posted on May 20, 2015 by FoodArchMage

Where I live, good peppers are harder to come by than eye of newt! They’re never in good shape and always overpriced, so I’ve started taking advantage of the fact that no one around here knows what to do with … Continue reading →

Roasted Sweet Potato Rito Bowls

Posted on May 13, 2015 by FoodArchMage

It’s a little-known fact that there are licences and regulations for magic, all over the world. And not all of them operate as smoothly as the Ministry of Magic! Out here in the mountains, the Magic Bureau is so small … Continue reading →

Lasagna Soup

Posted on April 29, 2015 by FoodArchMage

Spellcraft is all about building on what you already know, and that skill totally carries over to cooking! I’ve seen several different recipes for lasagna soup in my travels. It always seemed like a brilliant idea, but each recipe was … Continue reading →

Super Sauce Bowl

Posted on April 22, 2015 by FoodArchMage

Most people who go to the mage’s college don’t have a moment to spare from research, much less the time and mental energy required to regularly meal plan before shopping. While I am pretty good at planning meals, sometimes things … Continue reading →
