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…
Raw Raspberry Crumb Bars
Does anyone know how to make a carton of berries last more than a day? Is that even a thing? Because I don’t know in the slightest. Whether I get a tiny carton of berries from the grocery store or a mega-sized box of berries from Costco, I cannot seem to make it last more than one…
Prosciutto & Asparagus Frittata
Mmmm, mmmm frittata. I recently found “The Chopped Cookbook” by the Food Network in my local library. I am addicted to watching the show “Chopped,” so naturally, I had to check out this cookbook. For those of you who don’t know, “Chopped” is a show on the Food Network, in which there are four contestants…
Mango “Sticky” Quinoa
One of my favorite all time desserts is Mango Sticky Rice, a very popular Thai dessert. The dessert typically consists of sticky rice cooked in coconut milk and topped with a coconut milk sauce with mango served on the side. It is really delicious. So I decided to create an adaptation of the typical…
Veggie Quinoa Maki
Nothing gets my mouth watering like a piece of sushi. I love all kinds of sushi, fish or vegetarian. There is something that gets me with the salty, chewy seaweed wrapped around the sweet and sour rice or quinoa that engulfs a variety of crunchy and creamy vegetables on the inside. Yummmmmmmm!
Baked Honey Garlic Cauliflower
Cauliflower seems to be the new “it” vegetable. You can make it into a mash as a substitute for mashed potatoes, you can make it into a sauce as an alternative to alfredo, or like in this recipe, you can treat it as a chicken substitute. Cauliflower is just SO good. It seems to be…
Thai Quinoa Salad with Peanut Sauce
I first fell in love with Thai food the summer after eighth grade. That summer, I started and finished all seasons of the show “The OC.” In that show, the family always ordered Pad Thai for dinner. So naturally, if the Cohen family loved it, I had to try it. I ordered the dish…
Coconut Berry Chia Arugula Salad
After hibernating inside my apartment for a few days, due to all the snow we’ve been getting in Boston this winter, I decided I needed to have a summery lunch. I was craving tropical flavors and juicy fruits. I was not feeling the usual soup or warm comfort food, that was all plain and unappetizing…
