This weekend, I challenged myself to build a meal based on what I already had at home. These peanut butter tofu banh mi bowls helped me to use up left over veggies, and I discovered a new combo that I love – peanut butter and tofu!
I love to do my grocery shopping, which might be weird, but what kind of women doesn’t like to shop?! Personally, I don’t like to shop for clothes or shoes, I like to shop for food. I guess I’m a foodie. Maybe. Continue reading

My husband grew up eating tostones, or fried plantains. When I was introduced to them, I fell in love with plantains! They are a versatile ingredient that I have been enjoying experimenting with. Tacos are pretty much a food group at my house, so we tried and loved plantain black bean tacos! Continue reading

The bold spices of this Moroccan chickpea carrot burger are balanced by sweet carrots. Carrots are one of the veggies I always keep on hand. In the last few weeks, all I have been able to find are whimpy, skinny, pencil sized carrots!
These small carrots are so frustrating for peeling and chopping. You have to deal with a million carrots instead of a few large ones. So instead, I found ways to use my carrots by shredding them. Continue reading
Pizza is one of those dishes that I could eat every night of the week. There are so many delicious variations, I just don’t get tired of it! If this is you, too, then you better put my roasted garlic and mushroom white pizza on your menu rotation!
I am teaching a night class this semester, and this means the husband has to cook… Translation: frozen pizza! We have enjoyed some frozen mushroom and spinach pizzas, and I was inspired to make my own variation. Continue reading

If you like spicy food, you have got to try these chipotle fish sliders with sriracha lime slaw! They have whole chipotle chilies blended into the fish patties, which is coated in corn tortilla chips.
The tortillas chips add nice texture, but better yet, they improve the flavor! The subtle sweetness from the corn compliments the chipotle. If you want to go an extra step with the sweet and spicy flavors, try sweet Hawaiian rolls! Continue reading
I developed this balsamic tomato and feta french bread pizza recipe for winter, store-bought tomatoes that are less flavorful.
Winter tomatoes that didn’t get to ripen on the vine just don’t have the same flavor, or texture as fresh summer tomatoes. A little soak in some balsamic adds sweetness and acidity to brighten those tomatoes right up! Continue reading
