Watch out Milk Bar. There is a new Cake Truffle in town – and she’s sassy, sweet, decadent, and VEGAN. So believe it or not, this recipe is actually an accident! I set out to my a cake for myself to celebrate the launch of…. my appearance on Quibi‘s Dishmantled! And WHY am I celebrating?! …
No need for me to re-emphasize my love for JUST egg. It’s super versatile, delish, protein-packed and completely plant based! So when they asked me if I wanted to try their brand new Folded Egg before it hit grocery store freezers, I was beyond eggcited – see what I did there? Heheheh. It’s super convenient …
We’re all living through it, so I don’t have to elaborate too much. I figured y’all need some inspiration on what to cook for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! The positives in this whole situation is it brings you closer to the ones you love AND it forces you to COOK! Obviously it’s no surprise to …
I know taters get a bad rep and honestly, I don’t know why! Obviously, if we eat anything with high starch and carb content it’s not “good” for you, because those break down into sugars. But anything is moderation is good by me. Plus, I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, being a …
Honestly, never been a huge soup person with a few exceptions – my Maa’s tomato soup with homemade croutons, pasta fagioli (cause I’m basically half Italian growing up in Shaolin), and Panera’s broccoli cheddar soup, until I found out it’s made with chicken stock and has enough fat and sodium for a months worth of …
You have no idea. I have been SEARCHING for a boxed cake mix that is palm oil free, FOREVER. You’re probably already aware of my obsession with cutting out palm oil from my diet (and attempting to get others to as well). I’ve cut out palm oil for 2+ years for environmental reasons. Don’t make …
I’m a sucker for special occasions. Meaning – if someone has a birthday, work accomplishment, life accomplishment – literally anything to celebrate – I will use that as a reason to make something sweet. I had a colleague at work moving to a new office, so I leveraged my resources (lol) to find out what …
I have a CARB-fession. I am in love with bread. You heard it here first. I am NEVER one to shy away from eating a full bread basket at an Italian restaurant, asking for more fresh pita at my favorite Lebanese joint or getting that bread burger bun instead of lettuce wrap for my veggie …
I’ve started a tradition where I reflect on everything I’ve accomplished (or haven’t accomplished) in the past year, cause why not?! We spend FAR too much time dwelling on what we DON’T have or what we HAVEN’T achieved, rather than focusing on what we HAVE done. Plus in my case, I have TWO careers – …
I recently watched an episode of Anthony Bourdain when he was in Armenia. The social and political historical turmoil of the country was interesting, but of course the food was MUCH more interesting to me. And that’s where I first saw – a Whole Roasted Pumpkin. They stuffed the pumpkin with a delicious rice, covered …
