Sweet Potato Scones

sweet potato scones

I love scones. I think they’re among my favorite indulgences, as they’re one of the less sweet desserts out there, but also a very viable breakfast option. I also think I like just about anything that goes well with a cup of coffee, and I’ve never met a scone that didn’t.

It took me three tries to make these. They [...]

Mediterranean Millet Risotto

mediterranean millet risotto

I got the idea for a millet risotto recipe from this site for “clean” recipes, which I discovered through GOOP. I pretty much wanted to try every recipe on there (or a vegetarian version of those that had meat), but was particularly intrigued by the sound of a millet risotto.

Risotto is one of my weaknesses. It’s the [...]

Toasted Coconut Macaroons

Hey, everyone. I feel like it’s been forever, though in reality it’s not even been a week since my last post. There have been so many developments and changes in my life, I don’t know where to start! As far as news goes, I did manage to get a job that I really love. The bad news [...]

Chili Sweet Potato Fries

When my friend Krystal told me she was excited to eat sweet potatoes over the holiday because they’re “not something (she) eats normally,” I knew I had to remedy this situation. Don’t normally eat sweet potatoes? I couldn’t think of a shopping trip where I hadn’t brought at least a pound of them home from the market, mostly to make my favorite dish: baked sweet [...]

Chestnut Pancakes

I have a dilemma. It’s one that has plagued me all my life, or at least since I was old enough to appreciate the joy that a simple cup of coffee and a few moments of quiet and solitude in the morning can bring. Here’s the dilemma: I’m a morning person. Of course, this is not a [...]

Winter Rice Bake

Well, I’m a delinquent blogger. While my fellow, more disciplined, blogging buddies have likely supplied their readers with things like year-end lists of their favorite recipes or healthy detox recipes for those ready to start the new year off on a healthy foot, here I am, presenting an everyday recipe — a simple, no-frills baked [...]

Caramel Corn

caramel corn

I based this recipe off of a “crazy corn” recipe my aunt made over the holidays. Hers was sticky and sweet and utterly addicting — this version is crisp and crunchy, but just as dangerously good. Seriously, don’t make this unless you have loads of friends over to help you finish it off, or serious willpower [...]

Red Lentil Kibbeh

Growing up in Metro Detroit, I took for granted that I was living next to a national resource: Dearborn, Michigan, which boasts one of the largest Arab populations outside of the Middle East. It was only when I moved out to New York that I realized not all cities — not even what many consider the greatest food [...]

Butternut Squash Lasagna

This will be my first Thanksgiving sans turkey. And while I’m not exactly sad about it, it did get me thinking about ideas for how to create a delicious vegetarian Thanksgiving. My family has always taken a pretty traditional approach to Thanksgiving. We’ve never been a sage-in-the stuffing, skin-on “smashed” potatoes kind of crew. But I’ve always [...]

Cheddar Scallion Biscuits

scallion cheddar biscuits

These biscuits are awesome. And if there’s any doubt that that last statement is just a result of my I-haven’t-had-a-biscuit-in-years brain talking, my husband ate seven of these last night along with his meal.

Ever since I discovered Daiya cheese, I’ve had this idea that I wanted to make cheddar-scallion biscuits. It was sort of one of [...]
