This soup has zero fresh produce – kind of an oxymoron for me, no?! But this is the reality of real life, amirite? I have been traveling for three weeks and before I left, I cleaned out everything from my fridge that could potentially spoil – don’t worry, everything was either composted, repurposed or froze! …
I can never understand why some people would go to a restaurant, order a bunch of food, not finish it and then NOT pack it. The only times I would do this are if I’m on vacation and/or traveling, and I physically cannot carry the food or store the food. But even THEN I’d still …
23 Things I accomplished in 2023. Cheesy, I know, but I love it! You should know the drill by now! I’ve been doing this every year for the past 5+ years. It not only helps keep track of what I have accomplished (tracking towards my goals), but also helps me identify gaps and most importantly …
Did you know that all wine isn’t vegan? I learned this a few years ago from one of my friends who I call a wine connoisseur and needless to say, I was severely grossed out. A seemingly harmless item that has been around for centuries, has now been adulterer with animals? WHY?! Well, according to …
My boyfriend (yes, boyfriend, I know HARD LAUNCH), told me he had a baking competition at work.

I just figured out your Christmas morning brekkie. Yes, yes. This isn’t the first homemade cereal recipe you’ve probably come across, but I can confidently say, this is probably the easiest recipe. And not to mention – VEGAN! Just like most kids who grew up in America, I grew up on cereal. I’m not getting …
I’ve seen “brothy beans” trending all over the internet, but South Asians have been making “brothy beans” aka saaru (as we say in Kannada or Daal in Hindi) for thousands of years. Why is it that the Western world finds something and then total upends it? I don’t mind people embracing other cultures and adapting, …
THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED(x) TALK…! I can officially say I’m an expert on how to live eco-friendly!! Ok, maybe I can’t go THAT far, but I did just do my first TEDx Talk: 8 steps to an eco-friendly life in the kitchen & beyond. Being a TED speaker has been on my …
I can’t believe I’m writing this (or typing it, rather), but I starred in my first car commercial as MYSELF – Chef Priyanka – and it’s for none other than TOYOTA! You heard that right! I am one of the faces for the launch of TOYOTA’s brand new fully electric vehicle the bZ4X for Toyota …
