Hi! I've had COVID for the last two weeks! And I lost all my taste and smell, so food has been really, really boring. Turns out when your food tastes like nothing, all you want to eat is nothing. Understandably yet so unfortunately, that means food and this blog has been the last thing on … Continue reading What Losing my Taste Taught me About Texture
As I'm sure many of you can relate, one of the things I miss the most from the pre-pandemic world is an intimate dining experience in a fun new restaurant, surrounded by some of my favorite people. While that may not be totally possible at the moment, there are still a ton of ways you … Continue reading How to Support Restaurants in a Pandemic World
We've probably (hopefully) all donated to a food pantry or hunger drive before. The can of chicken noodle soup in the back of the pantry, the box of macaroni and cheese, the canned green beans you'll never eat: when you don't want them, they often end up at the food pantry. While you likely donated … Continue reading Best Items to Donate to Food Pantries
Hello again....months later. Honesty time: recently, things have been hard. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like this. Stuck. Unmotivated. Unhappy. Wondering what the heck is going on in the world. The pandemic, with all of its ugliness, has made it hard for me to keep doing the things I love … Continue reading Food, et. al
I've posted a galette recipe to my blog before, but this one is a bit different. It's flexible, meaning you can add whatever vegetables you have in your fridge at the time. In fact, I beg you to do just that- don't go out to grocery stores hunting down every single thing I call for … Continue reading Any Vegetable Galette

So quickly it's hard to tell when this all began, our world has been turned upside down. An update on my current situation: I had to leave New York, and am now back at … Continue reading Pantry Essentials for the Pandemic
This is the recipe my dad has been waiting for. This is the dish I make entirely too often. This is the dish you should make for someone you want to impress. If you make one thing I post, make this. Then make it again. Then make it again. Just trust me. Vegans get a … Continue reading Miso Buttered Noodles
I like to think of risotto as the love child of two of my favorite carbs: pasta and rice. It's creamy, flavor-packed, and is a perfect reminder of one of the worlds best creations: butter. But it's still......rice. Add miso, smokey chipotle flavor, and butternut squash? Name a single thing that could be better. Since … Continue reading Miso-Chipotle Butternut Squash Risotto
I love beans. Anyone that knows me knows this. Refried beans are one of my favorite ways to eat them, and huevos rancheros is one of my favorite ways to eat refried beans. So, naturally, when I decided to stop eating eggs I was preparing to say a very tearful goodbye to one of my … Continue reading Huevos Rancheros for when you don’t eat eggs
In an unsurprising turn of events, it's been a while since I've posted. Finals, end of the semester....very busy times. But I'm back home for Christmas break, with few better things to do than to cook. A lot. First on the list of things to share: my Christmas dinner creation. I'm from a family of … Continue reading Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Galette with a Rosemary Crust
