Pancakes always have been and always will be one of my favorite meals. Over the course of the past few years, I have made quite the variety, from nutritious three-ingredient banana pancakes to decadent triple chocolate dessert-style cakes. One thing I have learned is that pancakes can be ridiculously fast and simple to make, no…
Simple Veggie Fried Rice
Although I grew up eating mainly a combination of Italian and standard American meals, I used to love the days that my family would order takeout from Chinese restaurants. I loved the different flavors that I got to explore with those meals, especially those in the lo mein and fried rice dishes.Although you can order “veggie fried rice” in…
Easy Vegan Nachos
In the spirit of Cinco de Mayo, I thought it would be fun to share the simple nacho recipe/meal idea that I make for myself (and my family members) regularly! To make a more nutritious variation of the classic, you may choose to use whole grain tortilla chips, and add fresh salsa, satiating beans, and, of…
“Cheesy” Tofu and Spinach Scramble
If you are like me and you grew up eating scrambled eggs fairly regularly for breakfast, the idea of tossing scrambled tofu into the mix may seem a bit odd. However, I strongly urge anyone who is vegan or simply looking to add more variety their diet to give this a try! Not only does this dish almost…

As the weather gets colder, it is ideal for us to nourish ourselves with warming cooked foods. All my life, cozy bowl meals such as pasta and oatmeal have been my ultimate comfort foods. It was only recently that I attempted to make risotto for the first time, and, with the first bite, knew that…
Pumpkin Seed Butter
This recipe was originally posted on mindbodygreen! Although I tend to favor peanut butter over many other spreads (or most other foods, for that matter), I also love eating seed butters to obtain more variety in flavor and nutrients. Tahini is a definite winner for savory food combinations, and I have grown to love using sunflower seed…
The Banana Bread that Started it All
Nine years ago, my fourteen-year-old self decided that loving food meant I needed to know how to cook it. Although I am fortunate to have a mother who would have been happy to cook me every meal for the rest of my young life, I craved both independence and an outlet to express my creativity. After skimming through…
