Brown Rice Horchata

May 6, 2013

I realize this recipe is a day late for the Cinco de Mayo festivities, but let’s just extend the celebration, okay? I actually only tried horchata for the first time a few years ago, when I was living in San Francisco and surrounded by delicious taquerias. There was one burrito place a short walk away [...]

Simple Cinco de Mayo Recipe Ideas

May 3, 2013

When I think of Cinco de Mayo food, I think of margaritas. And maybe chips and salsa. But mostly margaritas. Also, avocado, lime, cilantro, and bright, summery ingredients. And tequila. If you have similar thoughts, here are few of my favorite recipes that are simple, light, and a nice reminder that summer is almost here… Chilled [...]

Goji Berry Brownies

April 29, 2013

This past weekend was a good one. Beautiful weather, some potentially very exciting news for Aaron’s design firm (fingers and toes crossed!), and brownies. I clearly have brownies on my mind, seeing as how I’ve made them twice in the last two weeks. This recipe is an adaptation of my gluten-free pumpkin brownies, using some of [...]

cooksimple Gluten-Free Meal Kits Review {Giveaway Closed}

April 24, 2013

I’m so relieved that the chaos of last week has come to an end. Friday was particularly intense, as the entire city of Boston and surrounding areas were on lockdown. I’m breathing a big sigh of relief this week, although I’m still emotionally exhausted. It also doesn’t help that I seem to have caught some [...]

{Thursday Thoughts} Boston Strong

April 18, 2013

The last few days have been heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time. Marathon Monday has been a part of every Spring for me, cheering from Heartbreak Hill when I was at BC, to more recently standing with the thousands of supporters just a block from my apartment at mile 24. The positive energy [...]

Vegetable Miso Soup with Tofu & Rice Noodles

April 15, 2013

It took me a few days longer than I would have liked, but I finally have that miso soup recipe I promised you. This is basically what I’ve subsisted on for the last several weeks. Well, soup and copious amounts of almond butter and raw cacao powder (in everything, including almond butter). What I would [...]

{Link Love} Recipes I Can’t Wait to Make

April 11, 2013

My plan was to post a new recipe this week for a miso soup I can’t get enough of recently, but I got sucked into the time warp that is RSS feeds (make sure to update yours!), email subscriptions, and removing a social media plugin that apparently contained malware. I always think these things are going [...]

RSS Update: Moving from Feedburner to Feedblitz

April 8, 2013

Most of you have probably heard that Google Reader will be shutting down as of July. Initially, this made me really sad…until I switched to Feedly. Why on earth was I using Google Reader?? Feedly is SO much better, both in terms of function and aesthetics. Seriously, try it and you will also wonder why [...]

My Vegan Pantry Staples

April 2, 2013

I’ve received a few questions recently about how to stock a vegan pantry. This is one of those things that I think I’ve taken for granted, forgetting that it took me years to develop a well-stocked pantry and get comfortable with a lot of the foods I now enjoy on a daily basis.  When you’re [...]

Thursday Thoughts

March 28, 2013

I cannot even tell you how excited I am for warmer weather. It actually started to feel like Spring this week with somewhat regular sunshine, more mild temps (and by that I mean high 40s), longer daylight hours…and then I checked the forecast and saw several instances of possible snow showers?!?!?!?! I think this is [...]

Gluten-Free Irish Soda Bread

March 17, 2013

I realize this post is a little late for the St. Patrick’s Day festivities, but really – isn’t Irish soda bread good any day? As I was working on the recipe, I wondered why I don’t enjoy it more than once a year. Probably because up until this point, I was relying on my local [...]
