Nothing tastes more like summer than a cold slice of watermelon. The days are now hot and humid while the evenings are warm and balmy. I absolutely love early summer. Weekends are full of baseball ga...
I hope you all had a fantastic memorial day weekend! Friday evening Greg and I joined several friends at the Rangers Stadium for a fun night of baseball. I was particularly excited for this game beca...
This past week has been so busy! Thursday I attended an artist party held by NYLO Hotel. It was really fun meeting so many other creative people in the city. I was so inspired by all the wonderful ar...
Have you ever tried a fresh chickpea before? I’ve had plenty of canned and dried chickpeas, but I honestly had no idea what they looked like raw until a few days ago. While picking up some kale...
This year will be my first summer in Texas. I’ve always heard it gets unbearably hot, but figured it couldn’t be that bad since so many people still live here! Well, its only mid May and ...
This month has been full of birthday parties and barbecues. It definitely feels like summer has begun! Friday and Saturday night we went to a barbecue to celebrate a friends birthday. Both we’r...
On Monday when I shared my mango lime muffins, I mentioned that I served it with pineapple jam. I received a few requests for the recipe, so I whipped up a fresh batch just for you. My grandma used t...
Sometimes the most simple of things can taste so good. When it comes to plantains, it couldn’t be more true. I love everything about plantains. When they are black with ripeness, they sweetly m...
Cinco de Mayo has come and gone, yet I’m still craving festive tropical flavors. I whipped up these muffins Friday night so Greg and I would have a healthy portable breakfast for our busy weeke...
I’m sick of boring vegetarian tacos. Sometimes I don’t feel like eating meat, but I feel like eating a taco. Even in Texas, the options can get dull pretty quickly. If it’s not full...
There aren’t enough days between now and Cinco de Mayo! I have so many Mexican inspired recipes that I want to share with you, it’s a little unreal. I usually don’t post so late in ...
I had never tried, or even heard of, elotes until I moved to Texas. When I say elotes, I don’t mean the literal translation of corn on the cob (Thanks for that Greg). What I’m speaking of...
With Cinco de Mayo quickly approaching, my kitchen looks like a fiesta. (In good ways and bad). A fun weekend of vegan bake sales, gardening and a drive in movie has left the apartment in shambles. B...
I have some thoughts on food that I’ve wanted to share for some time. After reading this article yesterday, I think that time is now. In no way do I want to offend anyone, and my hopes are that...
Last Friday I made vegan lemon squares, using a crust I had made from oats, coconut flour, almonds and figs. They lasted about two days. Every time I opened the fridge door, I couldn’t resist g...
When I create a recipe, usually I have a pretty good idea how it will turn out. The idea is often sparked by an ingredient that I know I love and a passion to create something new. For days, sometime...
I thought I would end the week with a sweet dessert. I wanted to make a maple pie for you all, but it seems nobody in my family has my grandmother’s recipe! Hopefully it will turn up in someone...
I went a little crazy with my food processor over the weekend. On Saturday I spent so much time making dips, spreads, nut butters and milks that when dinner time came around, I was exhausted. Greg an...
Have you ever bought one of those fitness magazines? You know, the ones with a female body builder on the front, promising rock solid abs in only weeks. Well, I have a confession to make, I bought on...
Experimenting with a dairy free diet has been a lot of fun and now that I have a food processor again, the fun has just started! Dairy replacements are often expensive, full of additives, lack protei...
I hope everyone had a great Easter! The torrential rain we had changed some of our plans, so we spent most of the day inside working on a few projects. I finally replaced our old camping chairs on th...
Yesterday not one, not two, but twelve tornadoes hit the Dallas Fort-Worth metroplex. I’m sure many of you by now have seen footage on the news of the dark funnel clouds, the flattened houses, ...
Veggie burgers are always a hit or miss. I’ve eaten some that have been full of flavor and completely wonderful, and then I’ve had some that tasted like sewage. No joke, sewage. I’v...
If I had to choose one food I could not live without, I’d have to pick couscous. I love everything about it; the flavor, the texture, and especially how quick it is to prepare. It’s like ...
I’ve recently decided to remove all dairy products from my diet. My reasons are a little different than you may expect. I’ve suffered from inner ear issues for several years now, and have...
While most people head south for spring break, Greg and I decided to go north this year. Unfortunately, due to extensive flooding at our favourite campsite in Oklahoma our plans were changed. On a wh...
I am so thankful it’s spring, but man did winter ever go out with a bang! While the Northeast experienced abnormally warm weather, Arizona got snow! Meanwhile, the last day of winter here in Te...
Congratulations to Claire who won a shiny new retro kitchen timer from my very first giveaway! Claire is looking forward to asparagus this spring. Thank you to everyone who participated. I loved read...
Spring is here and that extra hour of daylight has finally begun! I am so happy to have longer days, that extra hour of light certainly helps when it comes to photographing food! Greg is on spring br...
