Coconut Red Curry Pumpkin Risotto
The pumpkin continues!!! I’ve had a couple serious cravings lately. The first is Thai curries. A few weeks ago Preston ordered some from a restaurant directly across the street from my apartment. I’m pretty sure there’s crack in it, because ever since I stole just a few bites of that red curry, I have been dyyyyying for as much…

Pumpkin Cashew Dip 2 Ways: Savory & Sweet
Pumpkin everything time! I didn’t think I put out enough pumpkin recipe last year. I am going to remedy that this year. A lot. First up was the pumpkin bisque I posted on the first official day of fall. Now some fun dips! Last week for a quick breakfast, I mixed a spoonful of canned…

Broccoli Cheddar Potato Soup
Time for soups to take over. Delicious, warming, comforting, healthy soups. I’ve got a long line of soup recipe ideas to post this fall and winter season. I rattled them off to Preston last night and asked him where the heck to start. He voted for this one. Good call, sir. Good call. After I made my broccoli…

Spicy Thai Sriracha Peanut Butter
Okay, here’s the second flavor of peanut butter I mentioned in yesterday’s post. This was the risky one. It’s savory and spicy and weird and I really like it. I wanted to make something that didn’t seem too out there, so I tried to think of what peanut butter things go well with savory foods,…

Salted Rosemary Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter
A friend of mine emailed me awhile back with a website that sells gourmet flavored peanut butters. Awesome flavors, from spicy savory Thai flavors to pina colada. Weird. Intriguing. I replied to him that instead of spending that much money, I could just replicate some of those flavors. He said that’s pretty much what he…

Stuffed Avocado Nacho Bowls
Quickie recipe post today! I found a low-maintenance, super easy meal that is SO.MUCH.FUN. Like most of my favorite recipes, this is also easily adjustable so you can make it suit your own taste. Or give it some variety and make it over and over and over again.

Orange Whiskey Brown Sugar Cake
I put whiskey in a cake. A really really nommy cake. If you’ve been reading for awhile, you may have noticed that I enjoy a boozy birthday cake. This past birthday I drenched a blueberry cake in Frangelico. The year before I drenched an almond cake in amaretto. I thought I’d keep with my boozy…

Weeknight Coconut Curry Lentils
It’s the end of a long day and I get home from work hungry. I know I should cook a healthful meal. But I’m tired. I got up at the crack of dawn (after too little sleep, far too often) and worked out, then worked a full day, and now I just want to relax and nourish myself. So I head…

Creamy Pumpkin Bisque
Happy official first day of fall!!!! Can you believe it is finally here?!?! I am so excited. I know it’s probably still hot and un-fall-like for many of you, but let’s ignore that for a day and celebrate. I actually will be enjoying some actual chilly weather today, because I’m in Yosemite this weekend! No,…

Mint & Honey Tea Slushie
Back with a quasi-recipe, folks! I have been sipping on one favorite drink most of the summer: mint and honey tea. Yes, I eat honey. Sometimes. I’m a moody vegan when it comes to honey, I can’t really make up my mind, so I just eat honey where it’s harder to avoid or when I…
