When I wrote the title of this post, I thought “it's taken me over three years to post my recipe for curried chickpea salad?!” In spite of the fact that I've never shared it, this was one of the first vegan lunch recipes I concocted on my own. I loved it then, I loved it [...]

You may recall my recent post singing the praises of SweetGreen, which is one of my favorite vegan-friendly eateries in DC. Though SweetGreen is associated with salad, the restaurant chain offers far more than greens alone; it also serves warm grain bowls, wraps, and fresh soups, which are nearly always vegan and gluten free. Recently, [...]

I know what you're all thinking, so I'll just say it for you: there is no flattering way to photograph two brown colored bean dips. Fact. Hopefully, the title of this post is enticing you even as you snicker at the image. Two creamy, super healthy bean dips: black bean chocolate and peanut butter dip, [...]

I like to think of myself as living proof that eating healthy, plant-based food is possible even within a hectic schedule. I'm a full time post-bacc, premed student, which means I'm doing intensive pre-med courses at breakneck speed. I'm also a food blogger who posts nearly every day. And in addition to all that, I [...]

It's unusual for me to focus much on side dishes, but lately, I've created quite a few of them! The one that comes to mind most recently is my raw brussels sprouts salad with tangy dijon cider dressing, but my eggplant caprese salad was along the lines of a side/appetizer. I'm a big plate kinda [...]

Happy Mother’s Day!! I should preface this post by saying that my own mother would likely not eat green pancakes. She’s open, alright, but these would be exactly one step above her comfort zone. Mother’s day is, however, a day that always calls to mind breakfast and brunch. When I was still living in NYC, [...]

Needless to say, I am abundantly grateful for your comments on my superhero smoothie post. Thank you, CR readers, for inspiring me every day. I'm here today with a new Green Recovery post. This one is from Meghan, who writes the blog Happy Life: One Gal's Plunge into the Present. Meghan has a long, long history [...]

That's a wrap, guys! As of this evening, the great battle that was my Spring 2012 semester drew to a close. I am so tired, and so relieved. On Monday, after my Orgo final, I came home at 4 pm only to confront the fact that my biochemistry final would be about 36 hours later. [...]

I wish I could begin this post by telling you all how well my biochem exam went, but I’m afraid it was no better than Orgo. That said, the end is near, and rather than dwelling on the negative (finals), I thought I would focus instead on the positive: I was so busy this year [...]

Almost there! Biochem in the morning, and Orgo lab exam on Thursday eve, and then this semester is finally done; good riddance to it. As I study glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation and all of that, I'm simultaneously filling up with the very energy sources I'm reading about: fats, carbs, and proteins, and the sugars [...]
