"I got 99 problems but a meal ain't 1"
Self-Taught Vegan Chef :: Food Network Champion :: TV Host
This past weekend by some chance (and persistence) I was featured as a chef at Food Loves Tech for the amazing Farm.One! You really need to check them and if you live in the NYC area, definitely pay them a visit in Tribeca! But what I would like to focus on in this post is …
Sometimes you just need a good ole stir-fry. Something quick, easy, and perfect for a lazy Pri. That’s exactly what this Eggplant Stir-Fry is!! You probably have all of the ingredients already. Just mix a few things together and BAM, you got yourself a weeknight dinner in under 30 minutes, for sure! You can use …
I was craving brownies. I mean who doesn’t crave brownies?! Generally moist, chocolatey, fudgy – just delish! But I wanted to keep it light and vegan. I was browsing a few recipes for vegan brownies and stumbled upon Chocolate Covered Katie. I loved it. The recipe is super simple, uses regular ingredients (so not like …
There are a ton of nut and seeds butters out there now and I love it! I think it’s a healthy trend, but as with anything, we should be cognizant of where our food is coming from, how it’s being sourced, and how the effects are on the quality of the product. So when SoCo, …
I’m a huge snacker – I think I get it from my mama. We have this incredible ability to eat containers of Indian snacks and forgo real meals. Incredible I tell ya. But as I get older, ehem 30 ehem, I can’t really afford to be eating bags and containers full of fried Indian goodness. …

But as the weather DOES improve, so does socializing. There’s a proven correlation between warmer weather and increased …
If you’ve watched my Instagram stories last weekend (and shame on you if you haven’t!), I was lucky enough to meet the CEO and Founder of Trade Street Jam Company! Ashley was kind enough to give me some samples of her all natural vegan jams that are produced locally in Brooklyn! I picked the Strawberry-Chipotle …
Have I ever told you that I am lazy AF? Yup. Secret is out. I. am. lazy. Why do you think I’m always making these “one pan” meals?! I ain’t got time to clean and slave in the kitchen! But I still want gourmet. So whatEVER does a girl do? You use your noggin, ha! …
I truly believe that Sweet Potatoes are the unicorns of vegetables – the taste fab raw, sautéed, roasted, fried, mashed – you name it!! PLUS Sweet Potatoes are what helped me earn the title of Food Network Cooks vs Cons Champ in 2017! So, naturally, they hold a very close place in my heart. I’ve …
My mom has a BOMB banana bread recipe that we’ve been using for years – super moist, chocolatey, and a sure crowd pleaser. But the recipe calls for eggs and yogurt – that’s what helps is stay moist. I don’t think its easy to recreate a vegan version of that recipe exactly, but one can …
