A food-loving girl raised on pasta and tamales
Quick curry lentils and rice is one of my go-to meals. It’s comfort in a bowl. So when I came across red lentil noodles at Trader Joe’s a few months ago I was really curious to try them. I have used them in several different ways since first trying them, every time trying to figure…
One of my favorite aspects of a CSA is that they require you to be flexible and creative with the ingredients you receive. I’ve written quite a bit about my love for CSA and farmer’s markets and have been really thrilled with all of the options in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. I mentioned a few…
Let’s talk mornings. What is your morning routine like? Do you have one established? Still figuring it out? This post was sponsored by Jord Watches. Thanks for helping me keep my mornings on track! Until about a year ago, I was the person who slept until the last. possible. second. My first year of grad…
Last summer was the summer of Green Tahini in our house. I first discovered Green Tahini at Trader Joe’s when they started carrying it last summer. I often buy their Tahini sauce and when I saw a green herb-packed version I was intrigued. After taking it home, it was so good, I didn’t even share…
Every time I cook fish at home I ask myself why I don’t cook more fish. It’s such a healthy protein and so quick and easy to put together for a hearty meal. I am an even bigger fan when the fish is fresh from the ocean and can serve as inspiration for a delicious…

I received free samples of Sabra Hummus mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored…
Its not even summer yet and I’m already wanting quick and easy dinners with minimal cooking, aka minimal stove and oven. This salad came about from just that need. We wanted a quick and easy dinner on a Friday night with minimal cooking and using mostly pantry staples. If you cook the quinoa in advance…
Happy Earth day! Did you know that Earth day this year is Saturday, April 22? I’ve seen a few events around town to celebrate and the national March for Science was also planned on Earth day, which I think is pretty great. It’s an interesting day in the sense that every day should be earth…
One of my greatest passions when it comes to food and cooking is the incorporation of local ingredients. I find myself so inspired by local produce, trips to the farmer’s market, my neighborhood spice shop, and trying out new local products. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Santhoshi, a local cook,…
