Soup is not a meal (unless it's real Ramen or Pho) so let's just get that out in the open right now. Nonetheless, this butternut squash soup came out so absurdly well that I would consider eating it as a light meal (or a hefty snack) with some toasted bread. I don't know what made...

While out with some friends in Providence, RI, we had dinner at Union Station Brewery (owned by John Harvard's Brewery and Ale House). The food was decent, but one of the dishes, a personal arugula and goat cheese white pizza made me want to try re-creating it at home. I didn't go with a white... Continue Reading →
This is one of my favorite foods of all time and I especially love it in sandwich form, so this is a two-part blog. Caprese salad is of Italian origin and is absurdly simple to make. It's just fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, and a little dressing. It's just a great dish for when... Continue Reading →

It's definitely an overlooked vegetable and that probably has something to do with the fact that when cooked or eaten, it has a very viscous quality that some people don't enjoy. It also has a kind of hairy outer skin, which is... Continue Reading →
This is a labor of love in salsa form. I learned the basic variation of this pico de gallo recipe from two of my long time friends.

These spicy and flavorful beans are absurdly easy to make. I made them for the first time with just what I had lying around the house. The chipotle peppers really make this dish, but the Canadian Bacon really added another element and depth to the flavor. I often make these beans to serve with any... Continue Reading →
Making hummus is more of an art than a science... At least that's what I was led to believe whenever I asked my mother for a solid hummus recipe. Instead, the only knowledge I gained was about what was in hummus and what it should taste like. Based on that, I had to just keep... Continue Reading →
Impress your lady friend with dim sum! A long time friend introduced me to dim sum in college and I've loved it ever since. It wasn't until a little over a year ago that another friend told me that he made steamed shrimp shumai (dumplings) at home and sent me a recipe that I used,... Continue Reading →
Halved eggplant with tomato sauce, cheese, and sausage stuffing. Disclaimer: I did not write this recipe, but I did edit the format. It is a guest blogger's recipe and it does look tasty! Ingredients: 1 carrot sliced (60 cal.) 1/2 onion diced (60 cal.) 1 can diced tomato (100 cal.) 1 tbsp olive oil (120 cal.)... Continue Reading →
