Ask any Chinese person their favorite dish, I can pretty much guarantee it’ll be something from Sichuan. The hot and humid southwestern province is justifiably famous for its detoxifying and tongue-searing spicy cuisine. And nothing comes close to making it yourself at home with the freshest and quality-sourced ingredients. Scarlet red chili peppers, vibrant oils, and colorful seasonings. They will make your dinner table explode with color and powerful aromas....
Updated March 24, 2019 Roasted Cauliflower Roasted vegetables are my FAVORITE. I might even like them more than cookies. I know, that is a BIG statement, but I eat roasted vegetables almost every single day. I crave them every day and LOVE them every day. My day isn’t complete without roasted vegetables. I love roasting a variety of roasted vegetables, my Roasted Vegetable Quinoa Bowls are a staple, but sometimes I like sticking to one vegetable....
These gifts from God are quite literally one of the most moist morsels of gobbletastic glory I’ve ever had the pleasure of laying mouth (and nose) on. The aroma alone will be enough to drive you bonkers! I think I dreamed for a hot second that I lived in a blueberry muff bakery. Mmmmm. I was sure that these wouldn’t work. It was Sunday afternoon and I was feeling lazy pants....
I made one gigantical cookie for your face and maybe that of a friend. A reeeeeeeal good friend. One that picks you up when you’re down and makes you laugh so hard you have to pee.

It’s next level delish and worthy of a queen!...
I was in vegan lasagna land when it dawned on me that I wasn’t taking full advantage of the glory that is tofu ricotta. It’s a sinfully simple combination of drained and pressed extra firm tofu, garlic hummus, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and salt (basil optional!) that comes together to make a vegan ricotta that can and will knock your socks off. You may notice that a lot of people use cashews to make dairy-free ricotta which sounds lovely but I just can’t quit this version!...
What is a casserole, exactly? A big fat mess, that’s what. A somewhat sad blob of I’mnotexactlysurewhattocallyou. A smorgasboarg of ingredients stuffed into a [casserole] dish and baked at 350 until bubbly. Whilst researching casseroles for this piece, I stumbled upon the word “cassserole” used as a verb. To casserole or not casserole. All I know is that I’m gonna casserole you if you don’t make this reeeeeeal soon. It all started with a can o’ beans....
Updated March 03, 2020 Vegetarian Quinoa Chili is no Laughing Matter.. Or maybe it is. Caleb loves this Vegetarian Quinoa Chili! No, we didn’t give him a bowl to eat, but he loves the word quinoa. I was holding Caleb when I told Josh we were having Quinoa Chili for dinner and he started laughing. I asked Caleb if he liked Quinoa Chili and he started giggling like crazy. Every time I would say quinoa, he would crack up…so of course, I said it one too many times:) Now that I think of it, quinoa is kind of a funny word....
Why Make Vegetarian Kimbap Every time I visit the Asian grocery store I’m tempted by the ready-made vegetarian kimbap. It’s so much fun to eat and I frequently pick up a pack to bring home. I love the contrasts between the different textures, from the snap of the nori seaweed, the perfect tender rice, creamy egg, and the distinctive crunches of the various veggies. Flavor-wise, the umami of the seaweed is lovely against the mild fragrance of the different veggies....

I’m really not quite sure. What I do know is that this tastes like apple pie in a glass, minus all the partially hydrogenated oil (trans fat) typically hidden in pie crust and cups on cups of sugar in the filling. It’s thick, it’s creamy, it’s sweet, it’s nutty. With ten grams of filling fiber, five grams of protein and only 238 calories, this would be absolutely perfect for breakfast....

My mom was quite an adventurous eater and she often ear-marked recipes in magazines and cookbooks. I came across a cookbook released by a local women’s magazine in the 90’s the other day. In it, my mom had marked a few recipes she wanted to try. “Easy Spanish chicken and rice”was one of them. I don’t actually remember her every making it but it looked so delicious, I decided to make it for dinner one night....
There are times that I just need something hearty and soupy. No matter whether I’ve just come home from a trip, caught a cold, or had a long and exhausting day, I crave a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup to fill my stomach and warm my heart.
