After discovering the deliciousness that is General Tso’s Chickpeas, I decided to take another dive into meatless (and healthier!) versions of my Chinese takeout favorites. Despite my worst teenage fears, I have learned that, when cooked properly, tofu can be absolutely delicious. It’s become one of my favorite proteins both to order out and to cook at home (these copycat PF Chang’s Lettuce Wraps unleash its potential too). It’s inexpensive, versatile, freezes like a dream, and is a lifesaver on busy weeknights too....

Granola used to lure me at the grocery store. Attractive, smartly packaged bags in assorted flavors promised that if I bought them (and casually ignored their less-attractive price tags), I’d be fit, healthy, and sure to live the kind of active life I associate with REI commercials. One look at the back of those same bags reveals a different story. Most store bought granolas contain an excess of added sugar and oil....

Golden Milk, a creamy and slightly spiced Indian-inspired drink, is my favorite bedtime drink! Known for its several health benefits, it is easy to make and will help you stay warm without hindering your New Year’s resolutions.

If you’re interested in more turmeric recipes, make sure to also check out my Turmeric Almond Butter!...

These easy enchiladas were one of the first recipes I learned to make on my own and were one of the earliest dinners I made for Ben when we were dating.

Yes, nostalgia is a big part of why I love these simple green chile chicken enchiladas. However, these cheesy, creamy chicken enchiladas serve up more than memories:...

If there’s one recipe on the blog that I’ve made the most, it’s these healthy chicken tacos. I make them at least once a week, sometimes twice. They are a weeknight wonder - ready in just 25 minutes and completely stress free. When I first posted this recipe back in January 2018 I would make them on the stovetop. These days I make them in the oven. Both ways work just fine, but I find oven baking the easier of the two given it makes it a one-pan dish and is less hands-on....

Hemingway Daiquiri, also known as Papa Hemingway’s Daiquiri, Papa Doble or Ernest Hemingway Special, is a distinctly different Daiquiri that was created specifically for Ernest Hemingway by Constantino Ribalaigua, the famed Cuban bartender at El Floridita bar in Havana. Hemingway loved Havana Club Silver Dry rum, and preferred his Daiquiris without sugar, cold and sour, and with a bit more rum than the traditional Daiquiri. There is so much history behind this drink....

I have a list of foods that I consider addictive. Those are the ones that I can eat until pretty much nothing is left over. These truffle fries are definitely on that list, and pretty high. It takes a bit of work to make them, but these fries are so good that it completely makes it worth it. The first time I made them we liked them so much that what was meant to be a side dish disappeared in the blink of an eye before the main dish was barely touched....

It is worthy of any restaurant menu and perfect for serving with veggies or any of your favorite sides.

We’re in our fifth year of hosting Friendsgiving. Every year, we hit the same roadblock: I run out of space in the oven. It’s not the mad chaos of 30 guests jockeying for seats at our table—and couch, card table, and when desperate, the stairs—that irks me (my friends are excellent sports) or even the fact that last year we drank wine out of empty jam jars because I ran out of glasses....

The dish stores well for a couple of days and is a tasty choice for a make ahead dinner. About Kadala Curry Kadala is a Malayali word for Chickpeas. So kadala curry is a curried dish of black chickpeas where they are simmered with onions, ground and whole spices, coconut paste or coconut milk and curry leaves. A typical South Indian tempering of mustard seeds and curry leaves adds a punch to this kadala curry....
