Black Bean Burrito with Guacamole
My love of rice, beans, and guacamole shoved into a burrito.
Fried Millet with Brussels Sprouts
I am notorious for throwing random leftover ingredients in a pan and calling it dinner. This type of cooking lends itself well to recipes like fried rice. I’ve shared a couple versions of fried rice on the site and it’s one of the recipes in The Easy Vegetarian Kitchen. Fried rice is such a great…
Fried Egg Biscuit Sandwich with Garlicky Greens
Loving food as much as I do, there are certain foods I will never pass up when offered. Croissants top that list followed by tacos, roasted sweet potatoes, and french fries. And of course, biscuits. My love of biscuits started when I was younger at a shall remain nameless fast food chain where I’d only…
Quinoa Falafel
| Disclosure: This recipe was created for Ancient Harvest. See below for more details. | One of the earliest items I learned to make when I first started cooking happened to be baked falafels. I had fallen in love with falafels thanks to a local Greek restaurant near school but once I moved away, I had…
Sesame Kabocha Squash Soup
| Disclosure: This recipe was created for Ancient Harvest. See below for more details. | In the super market or farmers’ market, it might be easy to over look unfamiliar produce. It’s easy to gravitate towards the knowns such as broccoli, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash. However, when dealing with winter squash, there is abundance of…
Brussels Sprout Pasta with Lemon Cream Sauce
We don’t make a huge to-do about Thanksgiving in our house. Since moving to California, it’s been a small, casual affair. I make up a few traditional side dishes/pies and M’s nephew comes over. Each year, I also create a new vegetarian main. It started with quiche and has since spanned from this Brussels sprout…

Roasted Potato Pizza with Goat Cheese
Recipe originally posted on August 20th, 2012. Last updated on September 13th, 2015. Sometimes I have huge failures in the kitchen. There are times when flavorings are off, things don’t cook right, or the whole thing just seems kind of blah. These are the many (and I do mean many) meals that don’t make it…
Butternut Squash Pizza with Blue Cheese
Pureed squash and sweet potatoes are some of the handiest ingredients to have around your kitchen in the fall and winter months. The puree is great in mac and cheese, like this butternut squash version or this sweet potato version. Purees squash can serve as a great filling for enchiladas or even use as an…
Roasted Brussel Sprout and Millet Gratin
There is a particular feeling of being on a roller coaster, on the first ascent. That feeling of you know what’s coming and your nerves start to kick in. You start questioning why the hell you got on the ride in the first place, why your friends think it’s cool to watch you squirm, and…
Roasted Garlic Sweet Potatoes with a Poached Egg
I love meals that feel hearty without being overly complicated or have too many ingredients. There are times that I’ll shy away from a recipe if I glance at it and the list of ingredients and steps to produce seem like the recipes is complicated (a bad habit because I’ve skipped recipes before that someone…
Garlic-Butter Pasta with Spinach and Parmesan
I had a whole post in my head, ready to type out during my layover in Denver this afternoon. Then I got sick, like, forced to go to urgent car and told than I shouldn’t fly for 3-4 days. Other than not feeling 100%, I’m glad to spend the extra time with M. I’ll take…
Garlicky Greens and Goat Cheese Omelette
I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited for a Monday. Classes and finals are done, I’m just working my way through a pile of grading and by this time tomorrow, I’ll be on a plane, heading out to California. Honestly, I could be heading anywhere, I’m really excited to see M. It’s hard to…
