Sometimes dinner ideas come easily, and other times I need a bit of inspiration. Inspiration is exactly what I found when I was browsing Hungry Hungry Hippie and saw this beautiful fall butternut squash salad. She eats a lot of butternut squash salads, but this one really called to me and I knew I was […]
Every day I go through this cycle of racking my brain trying to think about what to make for dinner. I like to cook and I like to follow recipes, but there are so many recipes out there and sometimes I feel like I have so little time that the idea of following a recipe […]
These taco bowls have been a go-to recipe for the last couple of weeks. They came together after making a vegan ‘taco’ mix and then I added all of the other ingredients to make Taco Bowls! The taco mix in this recipe is vegan, but you could use meat if you prefer. Besides the tofu […]
Looking for a delicious alternative to potato latkes for Hannukah this year? What about corn latkes? I made these for a hannukah party last year and they were a big hit! They came out so well and got rave reviews. Call me crazy, but I’ve never been a huge fan of potato latkes so that’s […]
No one can deny that one of the best parts about summer is the insane abundance of fresh produce available, from juicy peaches and other stone fruits, to flavorful herbs and sweet corn. There is so much ready to be eaten, so this salad is a quick way to bring all of summer’s flavors into […]

Let me tell you how the pizza empanada was born. I was making pizzas to take to a little futbol party and I realized that with my measly toaster and only one pan, I would be in the kitchen FOREVER (on a beautiful day, nonetheless) trying to use all my dough. So while one pizza baked, […]
Hummus is one of those must-have things that is always in my refrigerator and I put it on just about… everything. Vegetables, rice cakes, meat, rice, my spoon. It’s quick, filling, and so good. And while it’s not crazy expensive here in Spain, it can be quite pricey in the United States. Even here, it’s […]

It’s simple (ready in under 5 minutes!), cozy, comforting, tasty AND most importantly, it’s filling! Over the years, I have experimented with fancy breakfasts (it’s my favorite meal of the day!) from eggs, to bagels, to egg sandwiches, […]
