A lot of the best food just isn’t very photogenic. Eggs and melted cheese always taste good without fail, but they don’t come off as pretty on a plate. Still—how could you say no to making anything with melted cheese? I’m not a big fan of mushrooms on their own but they add a great…

Smitten Kitchen’s Chana Masala
I try to cook things that don’t involve chocolate; they aren’t my favorite but I do. But most of the time I just go out to eat instead. Chipotle and Indian food are favorites of mine. If I could cook as well as either of those then I’d have enough material for a whole other…
Egg-Battered Tofu
I have three roommates now and I’m pretty sure all of them would make a better food blogger than me. Every week one of them is making a recipe from Pinterest and the kitchen constantly smells amazing; I’m in awe and usually a little jealous on the days I eat cereal and yogurt for dinner….
Easy Polenta And Eggs
Real Italians look away; this recipe definitely isn’t for you. Otherwise keep reading. Now that it’s getting darker earlier and earlier I can’t help but be lazier when it comes to cooking meals. I’ve been looking for simpler things I can throw together in 10 minutes or so that still pack a lot of flavor….
Tri-Pepper Quinoa
The easiest place to get inspired for recipes is the grocery store. Just going to the produce section and seeing the huge displays of vibrantly colored fruits and vegetables makes you want to eat that much more. My grocery store had a display of different colored peppers and I knew I wanted to use them…
Gluten-Free Baked Falafel
“Are falafels gluten-free?” It was a good question. I had no idea. To be honest, falafels were one of those foods I’ve wanted to try for a while but I’ve never gotten while out because I’ve heard conflicting answers on whether it’s gluten-free or not. Well, sadly they probably aren’t. Most of the recipes I’ve…
Asian Stir-Fry Rice And Veggie Burgers
The term “veggie burgers” have become an oxymoron these days; veggie burgers have just about everything but vegetables in them. Soy protein, artificial flavors, and wheat gluten—yes. But veggies? Nope. They hardly live up to the health halo surrounding them. The best thing you can do is make your own. It’s cheaper, healthier, and the…
Caramelized Onion and Balsamic Vinegar Bean Salad
I really love baked beans. Who doesn’t? What I don’t love is spending hours cooking them in a hot kitchen when it’s already 80 degrees outside. Why can’t people appreciate baked beans more in the winter when we’re all freezing? It’s a mystery. Last week on the 4th I needed a vegetarian dish that could…
Baked Sesame Tofu
It’s really hard to get good gluten-free vegetarian food at most Asian restaurants. Whenever I do find it, it’s usually in the form of fried tofu. Don’t get me wrong—I do love getting golden and greasy tofu now and again, especially when someone else is making it. But it’s a heavy thing to eat again…
Peanut Butter And Barbeque
Peanut butter probably isn’t what you think of when you think of backyard barbeques or baked beans. That doesn’t mean they don’t go together like, well, peanut butter and jelly! Today my fourth recipe goes up on PB&Co.’s All Star Recipe Blog and the theme is Summer grilling. I’m a sucker for slow-cooked homemade baked…
