I first heard of cassava as an ingredient when I saw it on a bag of paleo pancake mix from Birch Blenders a few years ago. Since then, cassava has blown up into one of the new trendy flours you have to try. Cassava or yuca (not to be confused with the yucca shrub—ouch) isContinueContinue reading “Cassava Oat Pancakes”

Soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies
As I began developing this recipe, I just heard Eleanor’s voice from The Good Place ringing in my ears saying “Ya basic!” (if you haven’t watched The Good Place yet, go watch it—it’s nominated for two Emmy awards). This is the time of the year when pumpkin everything floods grocery stores and restaurants. I haveContinueContinue reading “Soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies”
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”
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”
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”
