We gotta live up the pumpkin season to the fullest, now that the end is upon us! That sounds dramatic, but truly, there are only a few months per year that it’s appropriate to cook with canned pureed pumpkin. This recipe is a super easy way to spruce up your everyday homemade hummus, with just…

Stuffing Casserole
Stuffing! The absolute highlight of Thanksgiving, without a doubt. It’s truly undeniable that stuffing makes the entire meal and is what everyone is really looking forward too. It’s seems so backwards that most people probably never eat stuffing outside of the Thanksgiving meal + leftovers, especially since it is so universally beloved! I’ve made cornbread stuffing…
Coconut Noodle Soup
Soup soup soup! I’m in a soup mood, what can I say? I love a meal that all fits neatly in a bowl and warms the soul. This particular soup is slurpy in all the right ways, full of noodles, bok choy, and thick creamy broth, and is just the right amount of spicy +…
Leek and Potato Soup
I guess winter has arrived? It’s been super chilly in NYC this past week, and I’m not ready for it. But I am ready for soup season. If I have to be cold, I might as well make some delicious and cozy soups and make lemonade out of lemons! Leek and potato soup is such…
Vegan Enchiladas
For this meal, I basically went to Trader Joe’s and was inspired by their vegan offerings, out of which this enchiladas recipe was born! They have an awesome vegan enchilada sauce and a vegan cheese blend that was perfect for this purpose. I also used their beef-less ground beef, some fresh veggies, black beans, and…
Japanese Curry
I had never had Japanese Curry before my coworker suggested I give it a try. I am lucky to have a Japanese food mart right near my office so I can easily go browse and pick up interesting ingredients. Japanese curry comes in a powdered block that dissolves in water and makes a thick, warm,…
Messy Vegan Tiramisu
When I set out to make vegan tiramisu, I was attempting to make the beautiful layered dessert we all know and love. But, as the imperfect vegan, I guess I should’ve known it would come out looking less than perfect! 😂 I followed Chef Chloe’s recipe from her Vegan Italian cookbook (absolutely love), so full…
Rice, Beans, and Maduros
I crave rice and beans. Ever since living with my lovely Puerto Rican and Dominican roommates in college, I have absolutely loved the aroma and the ritual of rice and beans. I made this on a Sunday, so the beans could make the whole house smell amazingly cozy. In addition to being delicious, rice and…
Vegetable Pancakes
Whenever we order from our favorite Indian restaurant, I always get Uttapam, a thick pancake-like dosa full of lentils and vegetables and topped with a delicious assortment of spicy and cooling sauces. It makes sense that I love Uttapam, since I’ve loved zucchini pancakes, and corn and other savory fritters, ever since I was a…
Spiced Apples
As a kid, I used to love when my family would make a rare stop at Boston Market for dinner, whether after a mall excursion or a busy day of extracurricular activities. We didn’t go out to eat that much, so any chance to get their spiced apples and mac n’ cheese was highly coveted….
