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…

Lemon Dill Salmon with Feta Yogurt Sauce
This year is my first year doing a CSA share. For those of you who don’t know, a CSA share means “Community Supported Agriculture” share, in which you pay to receive fresh produce from a local farm each week. We decided to purchase a CSA share from our local farm in the middle of our…
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.
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.

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

For those of you who don’t know, “Chopped” is a show on the Food Network, in which there are four contestants…
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…
Pesto Zucchini Noodles with Spring Veggies
I am so excited for spring. In fact, I don’t think I have ever been THIS excited. But since Boston had one of the most brutal winters with regards to the snow, it is great to see the sun shine a tad bit more, the temperature increasing, and the snow finally beginning to melt.
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…
