The first meal I ever cooked for Charlie (nearly 7 years ago!!) was mussels in red sauce. He never remembered this part, mind you. But only because the appetizers were so eventful. Because I am a hopeless overachiever and show-off (in ... Continue Reading about Spicy Succotash Mussels

Sheet Pan Salsa Potatoes with Scallions
We are notorious condiment hoarders in our household, and it seems like the stress the pandemic put on all manner of shelf-stable shortcuts only drove our overbuying into high gear. We have also been living above my parents garage for 5 months ... Continue Reading about Sheet Pan Salsa Potatoes with Scallions
Charlie’s All Purpose Tamari-Balsamic Steak and Grilled Vegetable Marinade
Of all our summer cooking, this grilled vegetable marinade has been the biggest revelation.

Baked Cod Loin with Miso-Red Curry Sauce and Summer Vegetables
My latest freestyle with cod loin might be my best freestyle yet.

Shrimp Aguachile Tostadas (Camarones en Aguachile)
I’ve made tons of mistakes on this site with regards to cultural appropriation, but I’m hoping that this shrimp aguachile recipe, adapted from Hispanic Kitchen’s site, can be a positive step in the right direction.

Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup
To be honest, posting this vegan cream of mushroom soup recipe with everything going on in the world felt trite. Ant-racism is not something to check off your to-do list. (Thank you Hitha Palepu for that reminder in your newsletter this week). ... Continue Reading about Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup
Gluten-Free Sheet Pan Shrimp and Broccoli
I’ve been majorly feeling the cooking fatigue lately.

Desperation Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
While I don’t usually hop aboard trends, I seem to have fallen into the same deep pit of quarantine chocolate chip banana bread as the rest of the internet.

Gluten-Free Okonomiyaki (Japanese Cabbage-Scallion Pancakes)
I like to think of this okonomiyaki recipe as the Japanese equivalent of latkes, with shredded cabbage instead of grated potato. Though this makes the dish no less pantry friendly, it does certainly make the prep much easier, as grating ... Continue Reading about Gluten-Free Okonomiyaki (Japanese Cabbage-Scallion Pancakes)
5-Ingredient Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Healthy Tuna Noodle Casserole From Scratch

Blueberry Overnight Oats (Vegan, Low FODMAP)
One of the big misconceptions about low FODMAP life is that grains are completely off limits. Actually, it’s a general SIBO diet paranoia.

Vegan Penne alla Vodka with Roasted Carrot-Tomato Sauce (Low FODMAP)
I shouldn’t brag about having made this dish on Valentine’s Day.

Green Goddess Avocado Dip
No matter what time of year it is, one thing seems constant in my kitchen: the multiple bunches of wilting herbs in my crisper drawer. In an effort to produce less food waste, in addition to composting, I've started growing my own herbs using ... Continue Reading about Green Goddess Avocado Dip
Vegetarian Mushroom Hot And Sour Soup

Thai Pumpkin Curry with Shrimp and Bok Choy
