A while ago, a friend told me that he made himself some spicy tofu lettuce wraps. I never really got the full recipe from him, but he did tell me generally what he used to make them. I made some slight ingredient modifications and created my own recipe during Lent one year. Now, I'm not... Continue Reading →
Thanksgiving is one of those great American holidays that no matter what religion or non-religion you are, we can all celebrate it. It's a time to give thanks for all we have and for those we have in our lives to share it with. Every year since I was about 6 years old, my immediate... Continue Reading →
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 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. They made the salsa together and served it with tortilla chips at a cookout where the main feature was grilled clams in their shells. At this barbecue, I... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
