A quinoa burrito is not necessarily out of my wheelhouse. I use quinoa, lentils, and rice pretty much interchangeably in everything! But I’ve been making these Japanese-style quinoa dishes with garlic, ginger, tofu, tamari, and rice vinegar and that doesn’t necessarily sound like it might […]
I have been on a spinach kick lately. I blame the bulk bags of spinach at Costco… But spinach keeps for a decent amount of time and is just an unbeatable price. Only, now I keep finding myself with so much spinach that it is […]

This black lentil salad recipe is an amalgam of cooking dilemmas or curiosities. I was thinking about making a vegetarian Doro Wat. Doro Wat is an Ethiopian chicken stew with hardboiled eggs, berbere, niter kibbeh (spiced clarified butter), and sometimes tomato paste. Which isn’t quite […]
