I’ve been MIA for a few weeks. I can’t completely explain why. Is there such a thing as writer’s block, but for cooks? Is it imposter syndrome? Perhaps it’s because of the oppressive July heat in NYC, making me hesitate every time I even think about turning on the stove. Or maybe it’s the ceiling…

Simple Roasted Cauliflower
Some days it seems that cauliflower has taken over the internet. It’s appealing in particular to vegetarians and health food enthusiasts because it can be a good substitute for chicken (try my cauliflower buffalo bites or BBQ cauliflower pizza if you need convincing), or as a replacement for refined grain foods like white flour in…
Indian-Style Spinach & Halloumi Cheese (Palak Halloumi)
I’ve avoided Indian food for some time on this blog because it’s just so daunting. Although the menu of most Indian restaurants in the US is uniform, real Indian cuisine is diverse and varied like the country itself. India is a massive mix of different languages, ethnicities, religions, and cultures. There is no way that…
Corn Bean Tomato Salsa
It’s finally May. The weather is warming, which usually brings with it a sense of anticipation for summer. This year, that feeling is certainly muted by the uncertainty of the future with the coronavirus. But still, folks are cautiously venturing outside and there’s a feeling of, dare I say, hope? With the weather warming, I’m…
Ooey-Gooey Carrot Cake Loaf
It’s a big week for the United States: both Easter and Passover. Both holidays are times when we go to religious services, visit our family and friends, and eat great meals together. But this year, because of the coronavirus, most of us can’t see our loved ones this week. It’s odd to be celebrating the…

I want to take a moment and say a huge THANK YOU to all of you who take the time to read and comment on my blog. I’ve definitely had moments of doubt since starting this blog, wondering if anyone out there cares at all what I’m writing about, and you all make the whole…

Looking for shareable vegetarian or vegan recipes for your Super Bowl party? Impress meat eaters and vegetarians alike with these no-stress spicy bean party sliders! Perfect for any gathering, but especially great for ones that involves football, funny commercials (we hope), and bar snacks. Let’s be honest…veggie burgers have had a bad rap. In my…
Homemade Nando’s Peri Peri Sauce (South Africa)
Have you ever tried to recreate something by taste only? I recently had this experience after discovering Nando’s peri peri sauce for the first time. I love going to grocery stores in foreign countries to see what products I can find that are different from home. So when I arrived in Cape Town, South Africa,…
Chocolate “Resolution” Smoothie
This chocolate smoothie has become a go-to morning beverage for me. With sweet cherries, banana, and peanut butter, it tastes like dessert, but only contains ingredients that are super healthy! That’s a win-win in my book. Click on the link for the recipe.
Buttery Thanksgiving Stuffing
This stuffing is buttery and popping with herbs, mixing crunchy celery with soft chewy bread and sweet roasted squash. Since it’s vegetarian (or vegan!), it takes only 30 minutes to throw together. There have never been leftovers with this recipe, much to my dismay. A must-serve for your Thanksgiving table! My favorite holiday of the…
