Onion Soup Almond Dip
Remember that awesome dip where you take a packet of powdered french onion soup and mix it into a giant tub of sour cream? Delicious, right? Really unhealthy, right? Kind of makes you feel gross after you eat it, right? Probably because you somehow downed half a tub of sour cream […]

Chai Tea Concentrate Recipe Review
I have been meaning to share this recipe for a really long time. I think I first tried it right around the same time I started the blog. But to me, chai tea lattes are a fall and winter treat. So I’ve been waiting. And now it’s finally time!

Pumpkin Pie Spiced Ice Cream
Happy First Day of Fall!!!!!! Um, this is my favorite time of year. And I have been in Southern California for the past four years, and have sadly missed my Nor-Cal falls. I just think it’s a happy, peaceful, beautiful, cozy time, and I am so excited. Except really, in Sacramento, it’s […]

I’m adding more […]

Drunken Tuscan Pasta w/ Pan-Roasted Tomatoes
I got to do something pretty exciting yesterday! I joined the brilliant planners and participants for the 2nd Annual Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge for a little meet-and-greet. The Vegan Chef Challenge (“VCC”) is a month-long event here in Sacramento in which a bunch of restaurants have agreed to provide a vegan menu. They’ll make an […]

Sweet and savory little muffins have arrived! A fantastic unusual treat, these are an any-time-of-day snack. Great and nutritious for breakfast, fantastic for lunch next to a salad, or have them in place of rolls with dinner! Love them!

Moscato & Cinnamon Poached Pears
I love this pretty little dessert! It’s beautiful and elegant, and very light. Plus way simpler than you’d think. You really just have to throw some things in a pot to simmer and peel some pears. Yes, it’s that easy.
