I used to save curry for special occasions, thinking that I needed a long time and a ton of ingredients to do it justice. That is, until I stumbled on this Vegan Falafel Curry recipe by Elephantastic Vegan. This recipe didn’t require so much as a chopped onion; just tomato sauce, coconut milk, and a […]
Simple, Oil-Free Sweet Potato Prep It’s a shame that for so long, I only cooked with sweet potatoes in the fall. Why?! Maybe it’s because I’ve always associated them with Thanksgiving and cinnamon, or because I’d never tried them with coconut curry sauce. Regardless, now that I can find organic sweet potatoes in bulk at […]
Stir Fry Teriyaki Noodles These teriyaki noodles have become almost a weekly staple in our kitchen lately. I couldn’t help it. These thick, cooked udon noodles were on sale at Costco recently and they happened to be vegan… no way I could pass them up! Naturally, I stocked up on several packs of discounted noodles… […]

Oh divine spirits of the culinary heavens, I thank you for helping me bring to life this transcendent food creation I am calling… Asian Alfredo Noodles! Okay seriously though, I don’t know how this happened. I went into making dinner with one idea, changed it up a bit, and ended up with a completely new […]
Ahh, November in Southern California. The leaves changing color, the cool autumn air, the anticipation of the upcoming holidays, makes me just want to curl up with something warm and soupy. Something I can did into with a spoon. Keeping with the Thai theme, this vegan green curry with a big scoop of rice fits […]
I remember the first time I tried pad Thai. I was a preteen, on a weekend trip with my parents and my (then-) little brother in Palm Springs. We used to go to that idyllic desert town almost every year in November to recharge. We would hike in the canyons during the day, then unwind […]
When I was a beginner cook, I would make stir-fry chicken with a bottle of thick brown stir-fry sauce from the store. It wasn’t bad, but it did have a lot of sodium, sugar, and probably some questionable ingredients (I didn’t read much in the way of labels back then). Once I decided to be more […]
