I love options in everything, especially when it comes to recipes since… 1.) I can’t follow a recipe to save my life 2.) My food mood is always changing and… 3.) I prefer to play with ingredients I have on hand. These reasons pretty much are the entire catalyst for my new book YumUniverse Pantry […]

Burrito-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Rustic Salsa from “The First Mess Cookbook” [Giveaway!]
Laura Wright needs no introduction, really. You’ve likely seen her swoon-worthy photos and recipes from her website The First Mess or on Instagram (she also has a very inspiring Pinterest feed, too). Well, this past week, Laura’s first cookbook The First Mess released and what I will say now is: get this cookbook! It’s so stunning—the […]
Cardamom Pepita Milk (Dairy-Free)
I’m finally getting my recipe developing groove back after the debacle with my host provider a few weeks ago. Turns out when I got back from NY, I realized that they deleted a bunch of already written and posted content (gah!) and too many drafted recipes to count—which means months of measurements, photos, testing hours, and […]
One Part Plant’s Coconut Date Pinwheels (Cookbook Giveaway!)
This is the second time I’m writing this post. But I’d probably write it up 100x for the gal it’s about. See, I woke up this morning ready to share what I wrote up a few days ago only to discover that my hosting provider deleted the original post while trying to sort out something […]
Easy Homemade Nutella
During party-time days in Chicago, my pals and I used to make a staple food we called “peanut butter tacos.” We’d throw a few tortillas over a gas flame for a few seconds on each side and then we’d slather on some peanut butter, a bit of jelly, roll it up, scarf it down, and repeat. These days, I […]
Old Bay Chickpea Fries with Honey-Mustard Dipping Sauce
I’m having a lot of fun goofing around with chickpea flour these past few months. I’ve made “tofu” out of it, a tasty Garlic-Tahini Wrap with it, and now: Fries! The Marylander in me had to season them with Old Bay which is heaven dipped into sweet, homemade Honey-Mustard Sauce. With final deadlines closing in for […]
Carrot & Coriander Bisque & Blissful Basil Book Giveaway
I can’t remember where I saw it, but in a feed somewhere I read that this time in our history will be known as “The Great Awakening”… and this comforted me. Thinking that most of the collective uncertainty, disappointment, and disbelief many of us are feeling these days will ultimately lead us to important work and connection […]
Dark Chocolate Peppermint Pretzel Bark
I’m getting ready to head to holiday festivities at my Dad’s place, complete with my super squeezable twin nephews (Gah!), but I wanted to share a simple treat that has been making life easy, festive, and tasty all week. So, along with Minimalist Baker’s 5-Ingredient Peppermint Patties, I’ve been whipping up boatloads of this simple, gluten-free Dark Chocolate Peppermint […]
Minimalist Baker’s 5-Ingredient Peppermint Patties
Minimalist Baker’s Everyday Cooking released months ago, but I’m so excited and grateful that Dana is letting me share one of my favorite simple recipes from her gorgeous book with you just in time for the holidays (ahem, her book makes a great gift!). They’re the perfect treat to bring to parties, to pack up in a cute […]
Easy Chickpea “Tofu”
I was goofing around with chickpea tofu over a year ago and never got around to posting my discoveries. This morning though, I revisited my recipe and simplified the process quite a bit. So, the silver lining is that it’s good I didn’t post the first more involved version, right? Ha. Timing. You can use chickpea […]
