The year’s biggest food holiday is coming up next week and I am nowhere near prepared for it. Having only Thanksgiving off, I am finding it harder to get into the holiday mood. And I’m not going to lie, I used to not really care for Thanksgiving food. Blasphemy, I know! I think it began when…

Cherry Beet Lentil Salad
Hooray for cherry season! Cherries are definitely one of my favorite summer fruits. Sweet and tangy, they can go well in both sweet or savory dishes, like this Cherry Beet Salad! And let me tell you, the cherries pretty much make this salad. That whole “cherry on top” phrase is really starting to make sense…
Moroccan Carrot Fries with Parsley Aioli and Feta Dip
It has been about a month since my last post. Holy smokes, life has been busy! I walked in my graduate school graduation, had a celebration with family and friends, and simultaneously, work at the Poison Control Center started getting more intense. Busy, busy. But, now I am back to blogging and bringing you these…
Cheesy Pesto Hasselback Potatoes
What you are looking at right now is a Cheesy Pesto Hasselback Potato, aka the most amazing baked potato you’ve ever had!

Spicy Watermelon Strawberry Gazpacho
I can’t believe the summer is basically over. It went by way too fast as it usually does. But I’m not too depressed, cause the end of the summer also brings my birthday. I am excited to have some free time to spend it with my Mom going to a cute little coastal town for…

Spicy Spanish Gazpacho
Last summer, I lived off of gazpacho. I spent a semester in Spain and lived with a Spanish host mother. She would make me my lunch and dinner everyday for the entire semester. One thing she would always make me was gazpacho! I flippin’ loved her gazpacho. It was flat out heavenly! Once I tried…
Kohlrabi and Zucchini Fritters with Sriracha Mayo
Ever wonder what to do with kohlrabi? You know, that strange purple or pale green vegetable that you can find at your local farmer’s market? The word “kohlrabi” means turnip cabbage, and it looks exactly like that. Kohlrabi is also known as a German turnip. My mother, who is German, said that her grandmother used to make…
Strawberry Balsamic Lettuce Wraps
I am so excited about the warm spring weather that recently came over Boston. Yesterday, everyone was sitting outside on the grass, riding bikes, walking their dogs, and indulging in picnics. Everyone just seems happier. I know the warm weather gets me up and moving and gives me more energy to do things, hence also makes…
Beet and Microgreen Salad with Grapefruit Vinaigrette
Recently I discovered a small winter farmers’ market located at a local garden store. The farmers’ market consists of only about ten booths and occurs every Saturday. There is one booth that sells decadent baked goods such as chocolate croissants and lemon tarts. Another booth sells delicious and fresh homemade pasta including bourbon lobster stuffed ravioli and…
