Knowing how to make a good tofu scramble off the top of your head is basically a vegetarian necessity, and it is soooo easy. Once you have a basic recipe, like this one, you can add and change ingredients to fit whatever you’re craving! So once you master the basic recipe, get creative! Ingredients 1 […]

Unless you’ve been living in a tent for the past couple years (can I come?!), you’re probably very aware of the gluten-free fad diet explosion, to the point of being annoyed. A huge percentage of people are doing their best to be gluten-free, advocating the diet’s benefits, and loading up the cart with dozens of […]

It’s official. On this day one year ago I had just gotten the Celiac Disease diagnosis from my doctor, and I was told that the only treatment was to eat a gluten-free diet forever. Scary…at the time. I had forgotten, but I did blog about it after my diagnosis. I also like to replace “Celiac […]

If I haven’t already professed my love for edamame here…I will do so now. I FREAKING LOVE EDAMAME!!! It tastes amazing, and is ridiculously healthy. Though I love it with the shell still on, shelled edamame is delicious too. I usually eat it as a side, mixed in with rice or noodles, or as a […]

There will be some definite changes in the recipes and beverages I post here, starting now! Last week I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, for which the only treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet.

True, this is not very complex and there are not too many spices involved, but having never cooked quinoa before it could have turned out disastrous. The only *oops* part […]

I’m a quesadilla nut. I’m not sure why but something about the crispy tortilla and melty cheesy goodness just makes me drool…to the point where I used to make quesadillas for breakfast…and lunch…and dinner. Thankfully I’m out of that phase, but quesadillas are still a go-to quickie meal for me. The spinach and black beans […]

This dinner is very simple, very easy, and not too fancy. Very few ingredients are involved, but it’s so delicious (and vegan)! It’s no secret how much I love tofu, but I love edamame just as much. It is so healthy, easy to make, and tasty with nothing more than sea salt. Ingredients: 1 Package […]

I am the worst offender when it comes to being a lazy chef. I always want a delicious, non-frozen, healthy meal from scratch, but sometimes it is just way too hard to get off the couch. Today was one of those days, so I solved my paradoxical food problem with the Southwestern Bowl. This recipe […]
