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”

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”

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”

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”

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”

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”
