It is safe to say that I have had copious amounts of Chinese food in the past two weeks. My family has a tradition of eating a Chinese buffet for Christmas and I ate A TON of it that day. I also ate Chinese food a couple of times in Boston’s Chinatown between Christmas and the New Year….

Spaghetti Squash with Creamy Pumpkin Sauce
It’s pumpkin season!!! And I cannot tell you how excited I am to just start using pumpkin flavors in everything I make. In the past two weeks, I have gotten two sugar pumpkins from our local CSA. I roasted these two pumpkins and made a BUNCH of pumpkin puree. From the CSA, I also got acorn squash, delicata…
Stuffed Delicata Squash
Ahhhh fall is finally here! Today is the autumnal equinox and I could not be more excited. I love everything there is to love about fall. I adore the cute decorative squash that people put on their outdoor steps, the trips to the orchards to pick fresh crisp apples, the site of the gorgeous reds…
Teriyaki Portobello Mushroom Burgers
This past week has been super busy with starting grad school, starting my part-time internship, and still moving stuff into my new apartment. I feel like I’ve been non-stop running for seven days straight. But, I feel like I finally got myself organized this weekend and still had a chance to make these scrumptious portobello…
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…
Beet Noodle Salad with Blueberries and Goat Cheese
Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays, after Halloween and Thanksgiving, of course! I love how everyone comes together outside, enjoying beautiful weather (hopefully), delicious food and refreshing drinks. I also love watching fireworks. No matter how old I get, the fireworks are still just as endearing to watch as they were when I…
Sweet Potato Noodles with Cheesy Chive Sauce
Just like the mint, we have an abundance of fresh chives in our garden…TONS of it! So, I decided to incorporate chives into a dish for a late lunch that I had today.
Honey Lime Shrimp Salad with Mint Lime Dressing
Clearly, I am on a mint binge. This past weekend I discovered that not only do we have a large patch of mint in our front yard, we also have a bunch of scattered mint plants growing in our backyard. So much goddamn fresh mint! Why let that go to waste? Obviously I’m not going to…
Mint Matcha Smoothie
In our garden at the front of our house, we have a large patch of fresh mint. A few weeks ago, the leaves were still too young and not ready for harvest. Today, I had just gotten home from a pilates class when I had noticed how sizable the vibrant green mint leaves had become. The leaves…
Moroccan-Spiced Cauliflower Steaks
I haven’t posted in over two weeks because I’ve been so busy with graduation activities. I graduated from Boston University in December with a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Sciences (concentrating in Public Health) but, my school did not offer a graduation ceremony then. So, I participated in the all-university commencement and individual school graduation ceremony…
