Gluten Free Vegan Lasagna

In the past few months I have come to realize that I spend more time thinking about food than the average human. Throughout each week, I spend a large chunk of time watching recipe videos on Buzzfeed’s Tasty app, scrolling through posts by food bloggers on Instagram, and saving delectable-looking recipes on Pinterest. After buyingContinueContinue reading “Gluten Free Vegan Lasagna”

To Whom It May Concern:

If you’ve had this moment, you know who you are—the initial, tiny inkling that something might be wrong. You think back to the times you’ve experienced this feeling before. You thought it was food poisoning. You thought it was the greasy food from that fast food restaurant that never sits well with your stomach. YouContinueContinue reading “To Whom It May Concern:”

Simple Japanese Breakfast Soup

I remember making this soup for the first time in the winter of 2015. It was my first year teaching, I had to wake up before the sun rose, and I had been sick for what felt like months from stress. At that time, I lived in a terribly insulated house with roommates, and weContinueContinue reading “Simple Japanese Breakfast Soup”

Pumpkin Herb Pasta Sauce

This week was one of those weeks where I did not feel like cooking. This dragging feeling comes about once or twice a month for me and is usually worse in the fall when it becomes time to slow down and hibernate in my house. My brain, normally browsing Pinterest eagerly to see what myContinueContinue reading “Pumpkin Herb Pasta Sauce”

Bahn Mi Spring Rolls

Today’s recipe was inspired by the show Street Food (on Netflix). I was watching the seventh episode, which focuses on street food in Vietnam, and I saw a vendor making a bahn mi sandwich. The process of cooking the meat for the sandwich took hours, but the assembly of the sandwich took seconds and lookedContinueContinue reading “Bahn Mi Spring Rolls”

Dairy Free Prosciutto Pesto Sandwich

Most of the time I survive on my usual gluten and dairy free recipes at home, but sometimes I get worn out. There are only so many times I can take baking quinoa crust pizzas with vegan mozzarella, frying copycat Panda Express orange chicken, or whipping up some dairy free alfredo before I want toContinueContinue reading “Dairy Free Prosciutto Pesto Sandwich”

Chili Lime Roasted Red Pepper Dressing

The end of summer always has an element of sadness to it. It’s time for everyone to dust off their beach feet, say goodbye to those juicy strawberries, and say hello to early Halloween advertising. Every year September seems to sneak up on me. It gives me that feeling that I forgot to do somethingContinueContinue reading “Chili Lime Roasted Red Pepper Dressing”

Fried Chickpea Curry Cauliflower

Most people who met me after high school know that I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area (East Bay, to be exact). I admit that I shamelessly perk up and dive in whenever the subject of the Bay comes up, get excited when I see something San Francisco-related on a label, and oftenContinueContinue reading “Fried Chickpea Curry Cauliflower”

Dairy Free Yogurt Review

Yogurt used to be something I would eat with a spoon, slurp in GoGurt form, or, if I was lucky, drink in the form of Danimals smoothies as a kid. Recently, I’ve been noticing a probiotic phase sweeping the nation. Ads are urging me to take note of my gut health and badgering me toContinueContinue reading “Dairy Free Yogurt Review”

Italian-Inspired Breakfast Scramble

The Food Network brought my family together as a child. Together, we would be fascinated by the grill marks Bobby Flay would create on his steaks, the wacky chemistry done by Alton Brown on Good Eats, and the fantastical dishes on Iron Chef (the original, of course). Food Network was the spark that ignited myContinueContinue reading “Italian-Inspired Breakfast Scramble”
