When I was a kid, my mom used to make grilled tofu marinated in barbecue sauce and grilled eggplant for dinners all throughout the summer. If you are fortunate enough to have Labor Day free, you shouldn’t spend that leisure time making a complicated dinner. Make this fast, easy dinner instead. Use the time the tofu is […]
It’s almost the end of my first year of blogging, and I haven’t talked much about goat cheese. All of my posts will always be cow dairy-free, but every once in a while, I might include recipes that use goat or sheep cheese. For some who have dairy allergies or lactose intolerance, goat cheese is […]
Last year, a friend told me that the best way to make a pumpkin pie was by using butternut squash. It’s supposed to have a smoother texture, not grainy like some pumpkins can be, and it’s a little bit sweeter, to boot. Update 10.28.2020: I’ve added a form to get my holiday recipe guide at […]
Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and chances are, you’ve been tasked with making something for whatever kind of get-together you’re attending. I always jump to make pies because they’re so delicious and fun to make. Since we still have many (many!) picked apples in our fridge, I decided to make an apple pie. I […]
Sorry I haven’t been posting much this month. There’s actually a great reason for this – I’m hosting a murder mystery show this whole month and into the first weekend of November. This has left me with very little free time but it’s been a lot of fun. I’ve also been making treats every Saturday […]
Who can resist the pull of puppy chow? Nobody (well, except for my friend who doesn’t like Chex. More chow for me!) I make this for most parties and gatherings because it’s quick to whip up and always gets devoured. It’s vegan and can also be made gluten-free if you use gluten-free Chex. I’ve also […]
Every year, moms tend to get the same stuff for Mother’s Day: flowers, perfume, earrings, chocolates. For once, can’t their children mix it up a little? Out of my growing love for bulk bins and my growing interest to do this kind of stuff on my own, I decided to make homemade granola for my […]
Sometimes, food doesn’t turn out the way you planned, but sometimes it’s not the worst thing in the world.
Cupcakes are great, but sandwich cookies and whoopie pies are the new trendy baked goods. Combine that with red velvet, one of the hottest and most traditional Southern cake flavors, and you’ve got a Valentine’s Day treat that won’t miss. Bonus for you – the cake scraps you are left with at the end. A […]
The holidays can get expensive, so every year I try and make something homemade for friends and family members. I have fun coming up with new gifts every year, but this year, I may have stumbled across a homemade tradition that sticks. I ended up buying a mini loaf pan from Williams-Sonoma (no endorsement here, […]
