Hello, everyone! I am back again! I finally finished up graduate school a little over a week ago and then was busy celebrating Christmas at home with my family. So far it has been really nice being “funemployed”. It gives me a lot more free time to do things like blogging (and searching for jobs,…

Curry Butternut Squash Lentil Soup
I haven’t posted in forever and I’m sorry about that. This past month has been a rollercoaster to say the least. I had some personal issues going on and grad school midterms/group projects that took up a lot of my time. But now, I am back! I promise! And I present to you this Curry…
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…
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…
Tofu Tacos with Spinach, Avocado, and Pepper Jack
For some reason, I have had a weird craving for tacos lately. Tacos of all sorts. Fish tacos, chickpea tacos, veggie tacos, shrimp tacos, mushroom tacos, and of course, tofu tacos. So naturally I invested in a whole pack of some mini corn tortillas, which is hard to eat entirely by yourself unless you’re eating…
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl
‘Tis the season for pumpkin! And I am ohh soo excited. Pumpkin is one of my favorite seasonal foods. I love how you can have it sweet or savory! So far this season, I have only made sweet pumpkin things but I am looking forward to making some savory dishes with a small sugar pumpkin…
Tropical Popsicles
I made these smoothie pops about two weeks ago when it was a beautiful summer-like day in early September. I was trying to hold on to summer for as long as I could. Even though I was back at school and had already started classes, the weather made it feel like summer was still here!…
