A food-loving girl raised on pasta and tamales
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…
When I found out that Recipe Redux members would be teaming up with Sabra for National Hummus day on May 13, I immediately knew what I wanted to make. Hummus and salad bowls! 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…
Have you gotten behind the golden milk trend yet? I must say that I’ve been into it for a few months now. Other than the health benefits of turmeric and ginger, I love that a golden milk latte is cozy and creamy without the caffeine of a typical latte or the sugar of hot chocolate.…
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…
When I get on a kick with a certain food or snack I really get into it. This winter my favorite thing to eat has been roasted broccoli dipped in chili garlic mayo (I liked this brand). It wasn’t until a few months ago that I started roasting broccoli, mostly for buddha bowls, and it…
Raise your hand if you love tapas! Not just tapas-style meals which have become more and more popular, but actual Spanish tapas. I feel in love while studying in Spain during college and continue to crave some of those traditional Spanish flavors. This recipe is a mash up of two of the most popular tapas…
I love to travel, and Morocco is definitely on my bucket list. So while I might not be able to get to Northern Africa any time soon, I can certainly trigger my imagination through a hearty bowl of soup inspired and flavored by warm Moroccan spices. It was after a stop in one of my…
After two months of extensive travel I am trying to make some dietary changes. Anyone who knows me well will know that carbs and sugar are my preferences, always. A plant-based vegan diet I can do, I have done it, you can eat cookies on a vegan diet and I can live without cheese. Oats,…
