When I was in Pittsburgh, my mom made the most delicious farro salad with avocado and radishes. I’ve been thinking about it since then and wanting to make it. Luckily, now we all can make it because my mom sent along the recipe yesterday! This salad is served cold and is a wonderful spring/summer addition or […]

Vegan Enchiladas
I know, I know. A whole week after posting the corn tortilla recipe, here’s the enchilada one. Better late than never, I suppose. I got preoccupied at the end of last week by Timothy Pachirat’s (author of Every Twelve Seconds: Industrialized Slaughter and the Politics of Sight) visit to Seattle. He did three events while […]
Quick Jicama Salad
I made this quick jicama salad the other night when I made enchiladas with homemade corn tortillas (I know, I still owe you the enchilada recipe!). There is really hardly anything to this ‘salad’, but it’s such a refreshing, crunchy snack to munch on while you’re cooking dinner, or as a side dish to a […]

Handmade Corn Tortillas
When my mom and I were in Baltimore visiting my sister, Lucy made enchiladas with handmade corn tortillas. I’ll be posting a recreation of the recipe for the enchiladas soon, but in the meantime, here is the corn tortilla recipe. I make corn tortillas in phases–meaning I make them a bunch of times in a […]
Baltimore- Visionary arts, tasty food and a little inspiration
Happy Friday! Last Friday at this time, my mother and I were on our way down to Baltimore from Pittsburgh to visit my sister and her girlfriend. I had never been to Baltimore before and it was so exciting to see where my sister’s living and bop around the city a little bit. We arrived […]
Cold Sesame Noodles
This is a recipe from my mom, Anne, who made these a lot when we were growing up. This is a very simple recipe. The dish is served cold and would be a great addition as a main or side to a summer meal. The noodles you want to use might say something like “Japanese Style Noodles” or […]
Egyptian Red Lentil Stew
I’m in Pittsburgh visiting my family. My mom and I made a delicious dinner last night–red lentil stew, farro salad, and roasted asparagus. I can’t wait to share the amazing farro salad recipe from my mom with you, but for now here is the red lentil stew, which is one of Eric’s and my favorite go-to meals […]
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
We’re coming up on strawberry season and there are few foods that are as enticing or as pretty as chocolate covered strawberries. We dipped about 75 strawberries for the vegan baby shower we just hosted and they were a hit. The best thing about chocolate covered strawberries is that they are extremely EASY to make. The only […]
