Hey everyone, I’m participating in the Virtual Vegan Potluck. It’s a fun opportunity to connect with blogs from all over the world and share our favorite vegan recipes. If you’re stopping by for the potluck, welcome! For this potluck, I’m bringing these fresh tofu spring rolls and some peanut dipping sauce. These spring rolls use [...]
It’s safe to say that dutch babies have become a mild obsession in my house. I went 26 years of my life in ignorance of their existence, so, really, I’m just making up for lost time. This is my third time making them. I’ve started experimenting with the recipe, which is adapted from here. Straying [...]
I’ve seen a few recipes floating around the web for egg salads that use greek yogurt and avocado instead of mayonnaise. In fact, I could have sworn I save a few, or at least pinned one or two of them. But when I went to search my computer for a recipe, they were nowhere to be found. [...]
After Felicite and I signed our lease on our new place in Crown Heights, I invited her over to my rental room for an experimental lunch. After all, broker’s fees make me ravenous. I was really concerned about how lunch would taste. I even prepped her, “I’ve never made this before… It might not be [...]
One of the glorious aspects of moving to Brooklyn has been the never-ending section of places to eat. How will I ever get to them all? But, I do have a gripe about my neighborhood’s lack of decent breakfast places. Aside from the French Bakery downstairs (ok, so I guess it’s not that bad), it’s hard to find sweet [...]
Hi folks. I’m taking the week off to spend some time in the Florida Sunshine. I’ll be back next week. In the meantime, you can follow me on twitter or instagram. I was featured on the Instructables homepage for my perfect blueberry muffin recipe. Seriously, these are great. They’re the perfect texture and flavor. Please check [...]
Ryan and I have had plantains on a weekly basis since moving to NY. They’re kind of a big deal here, at least for us. I don’t think I ate plantains even annually back in Florida. And they were a labor of love, which are my favorite things to cook. A few weeks ago I [...]
New York is a foodie’s paradise, which has proved dangerous for my wallet and my waistline. This weekend a few of my friends and I went to Bogota Bistro, where I ate the best empanadas, plantain chips and spent $12 on a girly mixed drink. Then, the next day, I started my first boot camp [...]
I’m just getting classier by the minute living here in NY. You know, sitting here watching Pawn Stars and sipping on pomegranate martinis. I’ve wanted to do drinks on this blog for a while, but I don’t usually have a stocked liquor cabinet. Fortunately, my new roomie Felicite has that covered. You will need: pomegrante [...]
My day before Thanksgiving carb fest has already started. Ok, so it really started on Saturday, but who’s keeping track? Remember when I made the butternut squash mac & cheese? Well, it only used half a butternut squash. I knew I wanted to use the rest of the puree on a muffin. butternut squash muffins [...]
