I have no clue what that title is about. Sorry. I did a lot of baking today and maybe I’m high off the fumes (because vanilla and cinnamon can have that effect right?). This chef-tastic session in the kitchen may have something to do with my breakfast. Gingersnaps make excellent fuel. And by fuel I mean sugar cravings. The problem with having a massive and delicious cookie for breakfast is it sets the bar VERY high for the rest of the day’s food. If you’ve already had dessert nirvana by 9 am, it leaves little… Read more >

Oops! I nearly deleted these pics before I realized I never shared the recipe with you guys! Sorry for this long overdue post from a meal that I made two weeks ago. I always forget to use almond butter in savory meals because for some weird reason I associate it with sweet dishes. Probably because I prefer sweet dishes. Especially in my morning oats, which is when I most frequently reach for nut butters in general. Not this time! My parents were out for the evening (because they have a better social life than I… Read more >

I made this on a whim because I had veggies on their last legs and part of a package of tofu. Traditionally, you make strata with eggs and cheese and you bake it in the oven (here’s my mom’s recipe for a goat cheese, mushroom and asparagus strata). But here’s a vegan version that’s fast and microwaveable. Vegan Veggie Strata Ingredients: leftover sautéed zucchini and squash 3-4 de-stemmed leaves of kale 1/2 red bell pepper 1 cup broccoli florets 2 slices of bread 10 oz (~3/4 package) silken tofu 1 cup almond milk 1 tbsp… Read more >

Not that you asked, but Kyle lived in the south (Hot-lanta what what) for a majority of his childhood. He emailed me from work the other day requesting grits. I replied asking if he liked his grits with cheese or with butter. He responded: yes. Ha! This isn’t the version I made him (which was not vegan). This is, however, the version I reinvented for myself on Saturday night. I had zucchini and squash from the farmer’s market…and the vision of them sautéed in oil and vinegar on top a steaming hot bed of cheesy… Read more >

Last week I had one of those days where my appetite just wouldn’t quit. I hate those kinds of days, honestly. They either mean my metabolism is psychotically fast (here’s hoping!) or I’m nursing a tapeworm (shudder). Unfortunately, I didn’t handle it in a healthy or mindful way. My stomach seemed to be growling constantly, so I took advantage of it and (ultimately) went overboard. I wasn’t going to blog about it (because, quite frankly, the actual eats weren’t exactly newsworthy), but then I realized how I reacted the following day was worth sharing with… Read more >
