I just couldn’t let National Grilled Cheese Month slip away without doing at least one grilled cheese sandwich! Before I became vegan, grilled cheese sandwiches were my specialty. A fancy grilled cheese was the first thing I ever cooked for Chris. He asked me to marry him that night. We’d been dating less than a … Continue reading »
The Chickpea and I had our first fight. I am a pretty neat person. I like to have everything organized in a logical, easy-to-find manner and I’m a whiz with the label-maker. I clean the kitchen before, during, and after I cook dinner. I’m that person who will pick your drink up and place it … Continue reading »

Where a ground-breaking idea pops into your head, your heart starts racing, and you know beyond any shadow of a doubt that this idea will change your life forever? Oh. Yeah, me neither.

I love spicy foods, but to be perfectly honest, my body does not handle it as well as it used to. Back in the day, my friends and I would try the burritos at a different taqueria each Sunday. This went on for about 2 or 3 years. At one point, I felt confident to … Continue reading »

Almost 5 years ago, I was living in Florence, Italy. For the last month that I lived there, I shared a very small, but adorable, apartment with Danielle, an awesome girl from New York City. We lived near Basilica di San Lorenzo, across from Mercato Centrale, an incredible indoor farmer’s market. It was at this … Continue reading »
It’s the last day of Grilled Cheese Sandwich month! I had to squeeze one in before the month ended! This is a super simple sandwich (if you have the ingredients prepared), with a very basic recipe, but so delicious I couldn’t not share it. The combination of pesto and goat cheese has always been one … Continue reading »
Let me tell you: I’ve made some grilled cheese sammies in my day. For a long while, I was a fromagier, first for a fancy French bistro in West Hollywood and then I was the head fromagier at a well-known cheese shop in Studio City. You could say that I knew my cheese. I made … Continue reading »
