Southwestern Butternut Squash Bisque
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 …
Whipped Lemon Frosted Boxed Cake
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 …
Charred Sweet Potato Tacos with Chipotle Queso (vegan)

Why Everyone Needs to Visit Belize
How many places have you traveled to that you can truly say are environmentally friendly? I’m talking domestically and internationally?

Sponsored: Strawberry Thyme Gin Smash & Sugar Snap Pea Culinary Pairing
As a chef, it is important for me to work with ingredients that are versatile, fresh, and flexible. Especially during the summer months when fresh ingredients are plentiful, having a craft spirit to mix seasonal ingredients with is key!

Vegan Funfetti Cupcakes
I have a qualm. If you’ve been following me for 2 or more years now, I’ve been going on and on about palm oil. I’m not going to go on about it now, as I’ve exhausted my words for it. And you should already now how detrimental it is to the environment, animals, and ecosystem. …
