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
Pink Hummus
The world is in a pink phase right now. Barbie is supporting our economy, and I will gladly enter the internet following by posting pink content. This is yet another beet hummus recipe (I have another on this site already, but this one is prettier). Try it, love it, and bask in the pink of… Continue reading Pink Hummus
Kabocha Squash and Fennel Soup
I love kabocha squash. I will go on record now saying it is the best squash, and I will defend it at all costs. It is rich, savory, and adds a wonderful creaminess when blended in this soup. It can honestly be used as a substitute for egg yolks because it gives that equivalent taste,… Continue reading Kabocha Squash and Fennel Soup
Peanut and Tempeh Tacos
I made this recipe a lot this year, so I think it deserves a spot on the site. This one uses Thai flavors with the peanut sauce as well as Mexican cuisine with the perfect vessel for a meal: the taco. This is not authentic in any way shape or form since I have never… Continue reading Peanut and Tempeh Tacos
Mixed Lentil Yellow Curry
I have been on a curry kick lately. As it is currently freezing cold where I live, I have consumed exorbitant amounts of ginger, and it has kept me afloat this season. The warmth of this dish along with the complex flavors from the spices makes this perfect winter comfort food. I hope you try… Continue reading Mixed Lentil Yellow Curry
Beet and Tomato Chutney
It’s debatable whether this recipe is a chutney or not, but no matter what the name, it is delicious and ideal for spreading over crackers. The primary flavors in the chutney are tomato-based, so this pairs well with aged cheeses too (I made that up; someone fact-check me). Let me know what y’all think! Ingredients… Continue reading Beet and Tomato Chutney
Red and Yellow Beet Root Hummus
Does anyone else gravitate toward warm colors in the summer? Actually, I kind of gravitate toward warm colors all year round. Anyway, this recipe is another beet root hummus. I’m SORRY! I am who I am, and I love pretty hummus. In this recipe, I sauté the beets so they are a bit softer before… Continue reading Red and Yellow Beet Root Hummus
Summer Beet Red Sauce
Do you ever go to the store with a strict grocery list and end up buying a bunch of beets that were not on said list just because they looked gorgeous? Yeah, me too. I’ll be doing a few recipes to slowly work through my beet collection in my fridge, and this is one of… Continue reading Summer Beet Red Sauce
Hibiscus Honey Almond Cookies
This recipe is dedicated to the wonderful hibiscus-infused honey I got from a local festival in my hometown this summer. If y’all have the opportunity, support local farms and buy local, fresh honey. This recipe was also born out of the need to get rid of old bananas, so if you have some overripe bananas… Continue reading Hibiscus Honey Almond Cookies
