Alright y’all. Sweet oatmeal is out. Savory porridge is in. Without the oats, this is a lovely, aromatic, brothy soup. With the oats, it is a substantial meal that will keep you satisfied and light as you go through your day. I am not sure I will ever add fruit to my oatmeal again. Ingredients… Continue reading Chinese Five Spice Savory Porridge

Borscht
I have fallen in love with beets, and I will never look back. This soup has a bright, clear, red tinted broth that shimmers with drops of olive oil. The vegetables are hearty, and the wheat gives a nice texture and added nutrition. The humble ingredients together with the array of spices make this soup… Continue reading Borscht
Tofu Scramble
This is my take on the famed tofu scramble. The recipe is very much a baseline for other flavors. For example, the dish can easily be turned into a masala scramble by adding spice blends and a bit of nut milk. That has been a favorite of mine lately. Try it. Test it. Tell me… Continue reading Tofu Scramble
My Favorite Dish All Winter
Hello, all. This post is a bit different. It is not a recipe because the elements of this dish are already posted on this page. I just wanted to immortalize the meal that has nourished me for months now and will remain a staple in my diet once the weather turns cold again. Also, I… Continue reading My Favorite Dish All Winter
Aloo Gobi
Aloo gobi is a dish from Northern India but popular throughout the country as well as neighboring countries like Nepal, Bengal, and Pakistan (this is all from Wikipedia and included as a brief synopsis of the origins of the dish). I had a couple recipe tests with this one and have finally come to a… Continue reading Aloo Gobi
Curried Butternut Squash Red Lentil Soup
I am still holding onto the last bits of winter! I love the sun coming out, but it is still cold enough for soup. I love squash and every spring I lament that I did not eat enough in winter. The red lentils add a bit of robustness to the dish, and it is a… Continue reading Curried Butternut Squash Red Lentil Soup
Kimchi Chickpeas
I have had this breakfast almost every day for the last six months. It has staying power. High in protein and probiotics and very filling, this one is a winner for me. I do use a kimchi sriracha product, but I have instructions here to make your own if you do not have any on… Continue reading Kimchi Chickpeas
Triple Bean Masala Curry and Tofu Cream
I am dipping my toes in Indian cuisine again, and I feeling better than my past attempts. The masala is much more complex than I have tried before. I learned a lot about spices and what I enjoy, so I really increased the flavors in this curry. I hope you enjoy, and please let me… Continue reading Triple Bean Masala Curry and Tofu Cream
Tofu Cream
This cream is a result of my roaming on the internet and falling down a protein rabbit hole. However, this recipe turned out surprisingly well, and it was a good palate cleanser for other spicy dishes that can accompany it. Full disclosure, this tastes like tofu. There is no getting around it, but it will… Continue reading Tofu Cream
Sundried Tomato Chickpea Warm Salad
I got through my comprehensive exam last week! I will be celebrating by cooking, obviously. This dish is by no means Greek (and it is loosely a salad), but the ingredients are heavily inspired by the foods widely abundant in that area of the Mediterranean. It revolves around a jar of sundried tomatoes in olive… Continue reading Sundried Tomato Chickpea Warm Salad
