Caramelized Shallot Rice & Tempeh Bowl
I was watching one of Kris Carr’s amazing videos the other day (check out her blog & videos!), and she said she boils tempeh in a combo of water and tamari. Ummmm I eat tempeh all the live-long time, but I have never boiled it. Must try. So I did.

Banana Doughnuts w/ Peanut Butter Glaze
I introduced you to my doughnut maker Dazey a long time ago for my coffee-glazed doughnuts. Now she reemerges! When my dad decided it was time to part ways with his old doughnut maker, my sister and I had a little battle over it. I won. But she wanted to use it one more time…

Spicy Lemongrass Miso Salad Dressing
A restaurant remake success that I could just cry over! A Sacramento restaurant called Lemongrass Asian Grill & Noodle Bar makes the most amazing spicy salad dressing ever. You know how restaurants give you an excessively large container of dressing for your takeout salad? Like, well over 1/4 C of dressing. Well, I eat all…

Split Pea Soup w/ Buttery Chipotle Crostini
We’ve been having record lows in Sacramento recently. Last Sunday when I started my run at 9 a.m., it was 25 degrees outside!!! I know that might be normal for some of y’all, but that is NOT normal for Sacramento. Just check out that frost. (By the end of my run the frost had…

Vanilla Bean Cardamom Tapioca Pudding
I’m finishing what turned out to be a week of kind-of indulgences (“kind-of” because they’re all actually pretty nutritious. Isn’t that happy?) with a treat! You know what is a crazy easy, not-too-guilty dessert? Tapioca pudding. I hope I am not the only one who likes this strange gelatinous bubbly pudding.

I was clearly in the mood for seemingly-indulgent comfort foods this weekend when I planned and cooked the food I’m posting this week. Coconut water mocha, beer-battered onion rings, this recipe, and a dessert tomorrow. Hmmm… Eh well! This is one of those recipes that makes me feel kind of pompous. Because it is…

Beer Battered Baked Onion Rings + Sriracha Ketchup
I am shocked that I have waited so long to make an onion ring recipe. Actually, I’m shocked that I pretty much never make onion rings. They are one of my favorite indulgences of all time. The smell of battered and fried onion rings is irresistible to me. But I eat them rarely, and I…

Coconut Water Mocha: Hangover Kryptonite
Overindulge last night? Enjoy this yummy concoction to help revive you. Coconut water will rehydrate you, replenish your electrolytes and minerals, something else . . . Coffee. Well, we know what that does – wakes you up! Okay, it’s also going to dehydrate you, which you don’t need. But I know you don’t care. You…

Dumpling Soup w/ Beyond Meat
Hearty. Warm. Comforting. Dumpling Soup. A perfect winter bowl. This winter bowl features a new vegan find: Beyond Meat. It’s a ridiculous chicken substitute. I love trying new vegan goods, and this is really delicious. I think this is the perfect meat sub for new vegans – the texture and look of Beyond Meat is…
