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…

Chili Garlic Onions & Snow Peas
I’ve had a hectic last couple weeks. I moved – and it was a nightmare (yes, even more so than usual – but I plan to whine about that on an upcoming post!) I certainly had my share of takeout recently so I could focus on moving and spare myself the cooking time (not to…

Chile Lime Fruit Platter
My coworker told me about this fruit salad (which she gets at the state fair of all places!) last week – cucumber, watermelon, mango, and jicama with a chile lime salt sprinkled on top. I think I just about drooled on my desk. Then promptly updated my grocery list. Since then, I’ve mentioned my…

Tofu “Ceviche” w/ Salty Sesame Crisps
Yes, ceviche made with tofu. Now vegans can enjoy the delicious refreshing flavors of ceviche. Plus this completely eliminates the difficulty of making ceviche – no concern about proper grade of fish, how long do you soak it in the citrus juice, blah, blah, blah. Nothing to worry about here! This is really…

Stir-Fry with Spicy Orange Sauce
A favorite restaurant re-creation success! A Chinese restaurant that I frequently got takeout from makes this wonderful spicy orange chicken. It’s one of those things that’s so good, my boyfriend and I were incapable of going there and not ordering it. Their irresistible sauce was a very unnatural bright red hue, and was…

Sweet ‘n’ Spicy Coconut Wrap
So sorry for the lack of posts lately! Since I’m crashing at my parents’ house post-breakup, I’m very out of my element when it comes to planning and cooking recipes for the blog. Usually, planning a menu, grocery trips, and cooking comes really easily to me. Turns out that’s a lot harder when I don’t…

Szechuan Green Beans
My absolute favorite way to eat green beans (well, to eat lots of things really) is stir fried in oil and yummy rich Chinese-y sauce. Who doesn’t love that?! Fortunately, it’s fairly easy to make a healthy version of stir-fried vegetables. Enter Szechuan green beans! This is adapted from a recipe in my book…

Spicy "Crab" Roll
I found the simplest and healthiest way to satisfy my sushi cravings vegan-style. I really loved sushi a lot, and ate it pretty often. The healthiest way to make sushi is just to put some vegetables in a sushi roll with a little rice (in the same manner as my summer rolls). But that’s pretty…

Spicy Chipotle Black Bean Burgers
I’m so proud of this recipe, I can hardly stand it! My sister’s brother-in-law makes the best burgers. His recipe is simple: several pounds of meat, an entire bottle of chipotle flavored Tabasco, cilantro, worcestershire sauce.

Super Spicy Chilaquiles
There used to be a Mexican food stand at my local farmer’s market that made the most amazing chilaquiles. They’d take a big bowl of chips, throw them on this huge screaming hot griddle, pour loads of salsa verde on top and toss the chips and salsa around together. Piled on top was onions…
