This week I have made Slow Cooker Pinto Beans w/ Bay Leaves & Lime, Vermicelli Salad w/ Cucumber & Tofu, and Avocado Dip w/ Greek Yogurt, Walnuts, & Lime. Now, these may all seem like disparate dishes from around the globe. After all, pinto beans […]
When I find myself unsure of what to make for the day, I often just go to the grocery store and peruse the aisles until something sparks my interest. Now, it’s not necessarily the best idea to go shopping while hungry! Especially if you may […]
I can almost blame Costco on this one. I was walking through the produce section and the avocados were actually ripe. Not bright green and would take days to get there. Not too browned and inevitably turned to sludge on the inside. But perfectly ripe, […]
I have leftovers today. I almost always have leftovers, though. My general cooking philosophy is that, if you make one or two big dishes at the beginning of the week, then you don’t have to cook again! This incredibly simplifies the culinary process and means […]
I have been making vermicelli salads for weeks and weeks. They’re my new favorite thing to make. So, it’s only natural that I’ve been trying to figure out what else to do with them! I’m a big fan of utilizing leftovers. Oftentimes, I’ll just stand […]

II was re-reading through my Spinach Pie recipe from Thanksgiving. I made two of them around that time. I was kind of planning on mixing things up a bit. Maybe to add tomatoes and maybe some Greek yogurt? Which I guess would make it more […]

I have been obsessed with this avocado dip lately. With a mix of avocados, tahini, and Greek yogurt? I’ve been calling it a cross between hummus and guacamole. I am very quickly going through all of my tahini, though! So, I decided to mix it […]
My new favorite thing is Greek yogurt and avocado dip. It’s like a cross between guacamole and hummus where the sum is greater than its parts. I’m absolutely obsessed! So, it’s no wonder that I was eventually going to add hot peppers to it. I […]
