This blog began as an archive of meals I make for myself, friends, and family. In among the recipes and food photos I've snuck various pieces of writing on non-victual necessities like poetry and politics.

Lentil Mushroom Meatball Collard Wrap Subs
I was actually going to make something completely different this night. I had gone to the store and seen to it that I had all the ingredients for this recipe I had envisioned. I set them all out on my counter, put my cute little apron on, tied my hair back and was ready to … Continue reading »

Zucchini Pasta with Pesto & Mushrooms
For some reason, unbeknownst to me, pesto is not a welcome ingredient in my family. If mentioned, my parents would scrunch their noses. At large family gatherings, there was never any pesto-containing dishes. No one ever spoke of it. I grew up thinking it was something extremely fancy and disgusting at the same time (like … Continue reading

Dining in LA: Leaf
Every once in awhile, there is a shifting of the planets that allows for Chris and I to be free at the same time, without children, during the daytime hours. When one of these precious moments occur, we almost always have to have a mini-celebration of sorts. One of these moments occurred recently, and to … Continue reading »

Roasted Cauliflower & Quinoa with Cheesy Pumpkin Tempeh Sauce
Some of my most favorite dishes are born out of just grabbing some ingredients that I have on hand and going to town without a finished product in mind. Those times when you just work on instinct and purely create. This is one of those creations. I had an open can of pureed pumpkin in … Continue reading »

Masquerading Blueberry Smoothie
This is my last post before vacation! Well, not technically, because I am participating in the Virtual Vegan Potluck tomorrow (you have to check it out because it’s going to be awesome!!!), but that’s more like just bringing a dish to a party, rather than a post, but who’s getting technical? My love affair with … Continue reading

Fennel, White Bean & Chard Wrap with Sour Cream
Almost 5 years ago, I was living in Florence, Italy. For the last month that I lived there, I shared a very small, but adorable, apartment with Danielle, an awesome girl from New York City. We lived near Basilica di San Lorenzo, across from Mercato Centrale, an incredible indoor farmer’s market. It was at this … Continue reading »

ABC Kale Salad (a.k.a. Apple, Beet & Chèvre Kale Salad)
During my first summer in LA, one of my favorite things to do was take Samantha, my canine companion, to the dog beach in Huntington Beach. It was a completely selfish routine, as Samantha hated water or anything even remotely wet. I just liked sitting near the ocean with my good friend and she was … Continue reading »

Vegan “M&M” Cookies
One of my earliest memories of grocery shopping is riding around in the shopping cart, eating an M&M cookie from Safeway’s (in Southern California, they’re Von’s) bakery, while my mom did her shopping. M&M cookies were always the fun cookie, a very special treat. You could get chocolate chip or oatmeal cookies any ol’

Carrot Cake Granola
Chris loves carrot cake. He also loves a big bowl of clustery granola cereal in the morning. It was only a matter of time before I put the two together. Fresh, organic, flavor-packed carrots from our CSA really put this carrot cake granola over the edge. From the look of it, it looks like just … Continue reading »
