Happy Taco Tuesday! As most of you know, I love a good Taco Tuesday and I am always looking for creative new ways to sass up my Mexican food recipes. I whipped these little cuties up for a dinner party, and they were a huge hit. What I love about these mini stuffed peppers is that they are gluten-free and vegan! If you want to add a little bit of gooey cheese, you can do so to some or all… Read more »

Veggie Packed Chopped Salad
It has been heating up in NYC, which has been making our apartment feel like my own personal sauna. We do have air conditioners, but I am fighting it, because I feel like I really need to embrace the summer a bit since the winter was so brutal. I will admit though that we have been using the one in our bedroom at night to help us sleep…it has also been doing wonders on drowning out the city noise. As a result of… Read more »
Veggie “Chicken” Soup
Derika managed to catch the plague at work last week and with all the travel and long hours, this cold has been holding on for dear life.

So far it has been working like a dream! Yay, for Fire Cider and… Read more »
Spicy Thai Kale Salad
I hope that everyone had a great holiday!

Pumpkin Curry
I love curry; I mean I really really love curry. I’ve never heard of a pumpkin curry, until I went to a teeny Thai restaurant called Thai Classic in Paso Robles, CA while we were on a little wine tasting adventure…it was one of the most amazing curries of my life! I only ordered it, because everyone on Yelp was screaming about it…who knew a pumpkin curry could be so good! Love! Ever since then, I have been on a mission… Read more »
Perfect Quinoa
I worked at Whole Foods back in the day and I never knew how to pronounce the weird grain Quinoa. Quinoa pronounced KEEN-Wah, not Q-Noah, not Qui-No or any other fun way you have heard it pronounced. I have been using quinoa in place of rice in most of my recipes and I have loved it. If part of your New Year’s resolution is to eat a bit healthier, then quinoa is going to be your new best friend. It… Read more »
