Ahh, tacos. A Mexican diet staple turned comfort food for Southern Californians of all walks of life. No surprise that the world’s first Taco Bell was opened in SoCal (back in 1962 in Downey, CA). Of course, Taco Bell’s offerings are a far cry from the real, authentic Mexican tacos of my mom’s childhood. To […]
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.

Ah, sushi. For years, I decided that I didn’t like it. I’m not even sure if I tried it before coming to that decision (like a picky kid would). The thought of eating anything with raw fish (or any raw meat) repulsed me. Then, when I was with my husband at a Japanese restaurant a […]
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 […]
Pssst! Don’t tell your abuelita… I figured out how to make vegan huevos con chorizo (pronounced “WEH-vose cone cho-REE-so”), or vegan “eggs with spicy Mexican sausage”!
