Vegan Black Bean & Sweet Potato Sliders with Sweet-Tart Tzatziki
A couple of years ago, My Vegan Friend Mike turned me onto this recipe for black bean burgers from Emily Malone over at Daily Garnish, effectively setting into motion two things: 1) my unhealthy hatred-via-jealously obsession with this decidedly superior Emily, who I had determined was put on this planet solely for my misery, and … Continue reading
An exciting new venture — and…tamales!
I hope you’ve got your maracas handy, because you know what today is? Big Reveal Sunday! Fortunately, Big Reveal Sunday also coincides with Cinco de Mayo, which is incredibly handy since the two are actually a bit related. How boggled is your mind right now? I’ve alluded a couple of times on this blog (and … Continue reading

Squat Party Misnomers and Loving Thyself
Wanna know how I’m feeling today? Oof. That’s how. Yesterday one of my work buddies (we’ll call her Kat, as that’s her name and she’s likely to make an appearance here from time to time) and I attended a “Squat Party” — or at least that’s what the Nike Training app calls the 30-minute workout … Continue reading
Spicy Chocolate Caramels (aka bourgeois Tootsie Rolls)
Is it too obvious to begin by saying that I’m probably a day late on these? I have good reason — I promise. It’s, um… Well, I… I just didn’t… I’m a terrible procrastinator. There, I said it. Not at all things, but when it comes to my personal life, I seem to do this … Continue reading
Chickenless Udon Noodle Soup (with Butternut Squash)
I was really ready to headline this post with something as rad Leave the chicken in the coop and the noodles in the soup! but I have a confession to make. This soup isn’t entirely chickenless. There’s, gulp, stock. I know, I’m a sham. I’m so sorry. If you veggie folk leave and never come … Continue reading
Ruining, running and weekends gone awry
Sometimes things just don’t work out. You have the best of intentions, you really do, but things just get detoured or ruined. Or cancelled. Down the crapper. It happens. And that was my weekend last weekend. Ok, that makes it sound perhaps a bit more dramatic than necessary. In truth, my “weekend awry” was just … Continue reading
Drowning in broth: ramen habit takes girl off deep end
Have we ever chatted about my complete obsession with ramen? Let’s do. I am thoroughly convinced that ramen might just be the perfect food. A complete, one-bowl meal that satisfies both belly and soul with its abundant but carefully curated inclusions: savory, glistening broth; toothsome, bouncy noodles; meltingly tender pork; fresh veggies; and in instances … Continue reading
