I’ve had my eye on this salad for the better part of a year but of course, when I found out about the glorious combination of avocado and strawberries, strawberries were not in season. Damn produce, always have to follow their schedule. So I waited, and it was worth it, and now when I bite […]
Told you it wasn’t over yet. Since, even though it’s Saturday, I’m still working today, I figured I might as well make the best of it and post one last recipe to end this gluten-free week on a colorful note. I hope y’all liked it (I’ve been watching a bit too much of Treme lately.) […]
On with gluten-free week — and it might not even be over yet. I recently rediscovered kasha, which made me very happy. Someone used to make it for me in the strangest combination: kasha, couscous, and tuna. Long story short, it was awesome. But for some reason, I hadn’t had it in a while. Since […]
Here’s the perfect little side dish that went perfectly with Wednesday’s chicken. To be fair, it would go perfectly with anything, or even nothing — that’s how I like it best. I had it with a bit of the yogurt sauce I had prepared for the chicken, and it was all I needed to make […]
Behold the recipe of the future. By future I mean future me. The me that will soon be over pasta every other day-or-some-kind-of-refined-carbs-to-get-me-through-the-day. Who am I kidding, I’m never going to be that person; but in the meantime it’s nice to know I can take a break from pasta and couscous sometimes, to focus on […]
I’d been wanting to make this soup for a while, since my first (and last) red lentil soup stirred my interest. Red lentils are cool. Let me add a disclaimer right away: this is much more a curry soup than it is a vegetable soup. It is the curry for those –like me– who just […]
I had seen several versions of avocado pasta around the blogosphere, but I hadn’t bothered to try until I rekindled my romance with avocado with these chocolate avocado puddings. They were so stellar (and so not weird at all) that it made me want to experiment with it again. Somehow, avocado never disappoints, and this pesto […]
There you go, my first batch of empanadas with the brand new version of empanada dough I’m so glad I tried. That’s what I’ve been learning with cooking you know, you should never settle for what’s good – you can always get to great. And this dough is just great. Forget about leave well alone […]
This is one of the last recipes I made right before starting this blog. It was one of these momentous moments that I like to look back upon thinking “it all led up to now”. I get nostalgic these days. Truly, this cornbread was so good and so easy to make that I’m pretty sure […]
I want to say I loved this recipe, but don’t I love them all? I don’t know, just look at these bright colors, read the super healthy-yet-original-but-still-pretty-easy-to-come-by ingredient list, and tell me if you’re not sold. I know I was the second I came across this recipe. Plus, think of the last few days of […]
