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”

Food Lesson: Umeboshi Plums

You may have seen these wrinkly little plums as garnish in a bento box at a Japanese restaurant, on the inside of onigiri (filled rice balls), or simply placed on top of a bowl of plain rice—or maybe you have no idea what I’m talking about. Umeboshi plums, ume for short, are Japanese pickled plumsContinueContinue reading “Food Lesson: Umeboshi Plums”

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”

Italian-Inspired Breakfast Scramble

The Food Network brought my family together as a child.

Food Network was the spark that ignited myContinueContinue reading “Italian-Inspired Breakfast Scramble”

Basic Tofu Scramble

I find that tofu is one of the more daunting foods for those who don’t have much experience with it. I grew up just eating a block of it cold with soy sauce on top or cubed in my miso soup, but never had much experience otherwise until I decided to go vegan about 2ContinueContinue reading “Basic Tofu Scramble”

Four-Ingredient Coconut Almond Milk

I started drinking alternative milks before I even became lactose intolerant. I fell in love with the gentle nuttiness in almond milk, the filling creaminess of soy milk, and the hint of sweetness in coconut milk. Admittedly, this phase started when I decided that I wanted to eat “healthy” and when I believed most ofContinueContinue reading “Four-Ingredient Coconut Almond Milk”

Spinach, Leek, and Asparagus Crustless Quiche

I remember when my mom made quiche for me for the first time, I thought of the dish as a weird egg pie. Being a very picky eater, I liked my eggs “normal”—softly scrambled with a few flecks of pepper, fried with a slightly runny middle and crispy edges, or an omelette filled with TillamookContinueContinue reading “Spinach, Leek, and Asparagus Crustless Quiche”

No-Bake Peanut Butter Bombs

You know those mornings when you wake up and gawk at the time, even though you know you’ve snoozed your alarm six times? You jump out of bed and begin scrambling through your normal morning routine at 10x speed. As you throw clothes on and gather your belongings together, coffee and food are the onlyContinueContinue reading “No-Bake Peanut Butter Bombs”
