Creamy (Vegan) Cilantro Lime Dressing Makes My World Go Round
There’s nothing like a fantastic recipe that comes out of necessity or just not having a whole lot in the fridge. Since we are leaving town tomorrow, there’s slim pickings for lunch. But, I’ve always got lettuce or greens on hand. A simple salad with a knockout dressing does the trick. And this dressing was…
Why Give In To Peanut Butter Cravings
My first article as a contributor for eHow.com was a collection of reasons to give in to peanut butter cravings–and all of them delicious.

Vegetarian Mujadara with a Fried Egg
Who wouldn’t want to fill up on a warm, comforting bowl of rice and lentils? Nothing hits the spot on a cold day like cozy and somewhat spicy food. This recipe was adapted from several I have seen, although my favorite was posted on The Kitchn (perhaps my favorite website dedicated to all things cooking)….
Mini Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Peanut Butter Cookies
The name is kind of a mouthful, I know, but man are they amazing cookies. Crunchy, sticky, peanut buttery, chocolatey, with a toasted marshmallow flavor–it is hard to wait for the molten marshmallow to cool enough to eat them. The story behind the recipe is sort of funny… When I was a kid, I spent…
Homemade Lamb Stock
One of the habits I picked up after working in the restaurant business is freezing all of my food scraps to use in stocks. Onion pieces and skins, carrot ends and peels, celery leaves and stalks, as well as other miscellaneous vegetable parts go straight into a freezer bag where they will remain until I…
Sprouted Black Bean and Lamb Chili
This chili is a delicious and lean meal that is simple to prepare and packs a huge protein punch. You can either use dried beans that have been soaked and sprouted, or to simplify, low sodium canned beans will work wonderfully. To make it vegan or vegetarian, omit the lamb and use vegetable stock. Sprouted…
Weeds: Out of Context
Behind the shed is a wild and disorganized mess. Or… A treasure trove. It really depends on the context. March is a verdant time here in Southern California. Everything is growing green, the winds are blowing, we may even get some rain (unlikely). Weed season is upon us. For lawn aficionados and meticulous gardeners, this…
Art of Smoothies
Smoothies are a staple in our household. They are super quick and easy to make, there are endless possibilities for ingredients, and the best part? I can make them one handed. Let me explain. I am incredibly fortunate to be in the position to stay at home with my baby boy. Being with him brings…
Cinnamon Walnut Swirl Bread
I am a self-proclaimed bread fanatic. I enjoy it in all of its forms, but my most favorite kinds of bread are of the sweet breakfast variety. This loaf really delivers. It is sturdy enough for toasting, light enough to eat on its own, and perfect for Vegan French Toast. With a sticky, cinnamon and…
No Dairy Life: Butternut Squash Soup with Maple Sage Walnuts
Since having a baby, I’ve experienced so many amazing, difficult, and some times disgusting, new things. From the very beginning, my son Charlie was what I will call a “leaky baby.” He spent hours crying, spitting up, and pooping so forcefully it would escape even the most seemingly secure diapers. My husband and I were…
