  • Matcha Latte w/ Vanilla Bean Simple Syrup

    I am in LOVE with matcha lattes from Peet’s.  With some vanilla syrup in them. Oh my gosh. But they’re costly.  And I seem to wind up late for work on the days I stop to pick one up 😉 So I figured out how to make them at home!  It’s actually pretty simple.

  • Fennel Spice Green Tea Miso Soup

    I hope you’re not terribly confused by the title of this post as to what I’m actually making.  I made miso soup.  In green tea.  A savory “fennel spice” green tea.  I know, right?

  • Vanilla Bean Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

    Another light fruit-based dessert!  You’re going to see PLENTY of these in the near future. I actually made these for breakfast.  Well, a post-breakfast snack.  That’s the same, right? So good.  Way simpler than you’d think.  Satisfying.  Guilt-free.

  • Spicy Baked Pasta

    Here’s a super simple weeknight meal that is fast, comforting, and delicious. You really need to pair it with a quick salad for a nutritionally sound meal, but I’m assuming you can manage that 😉 This dish doesn’t require hardly any hands-on time, but if you happen to have leftover plain cooked pasta in your […]

  • Strawberry, Mango, Banana & White Port Sorbet

    I made sorbet with my food processor tonight!  I should also tell you that I’m so excited about it, I initially wrote that first sentence in all caps.  But that seemed a little aggressive.  I don’t want to scare you away.  Anyway …. 

  • Soy Chorizo & Cilantro Corn Muffins

    Hello, happy breakfast food!  I have been really trying to eat savory foods for breakfast more often.  I find that it has a fantastic effect of chilling my sweet tooth down to start the day with something that isn’t sweet.  But it’s pretty hard for me to think of a quick weekday meal other than […]

  • Papaya Lime Banana Smoothie

    Time for the spring and summer smoothies to start coming back!  This weekend was an amazing moment of summer – I fit in a bike ride, kayak trip, outdoor dive bar, and a couple little walks.  And a splotchy ridiculous sunburn (stupid spray-on sunscreen!), dehydration, and overall forgetting how to prepare for such fun activities.

  • Coconut Chocolate Almond Cookies

    I owed a friend of mine a batch of cookies (LONG overdue since this was a thank you batch of cookies for helping move all my stuff into my apartment…in October!) Whipping up a batch of cookies is fairly easy for me.  Then he had the nerve to go Paleo on me!  So I looked […]

  • Pineapple Rice & Jerk Seasoned Lentils

    If you haven’t noticed, I loooove savory (and/or spicy) and sweet dishes.  So full of flavor!   This may be one of my favorite creations yet!   I thought it would be fun to cook rice in pineapple juice.  Well, I was right.  Fact.

  • Avocado Wasabi Cole Slaw

      I bought myself a long-overdue awesome present yesterday!
