MY SMILE

Not About Food: Me and My Smile

May 4, 2017
17
This essay was originally published on Medium on April 18, 2017. I get told to smile a lot. The reason for this is because when my face is relaxed, or emotionless, it doesn’t settle naturally into a smile. In fact, when my face is relaxed, I actually look like I’m seriously contemplating the Space-Time Continuum and/or [...]

Gluten-Free, Vegan Popcorn Tofu

Gluten-Free, Vegan Popcorn Tofu

April 24, 2017
18
I became vegetarian (and then later vegan) before I was ever able to try popcorn chicken. I don’t consider this a loss. In fact, I never really thought about it until I was in Austin a couple of years ago. You see, we’d heard about this amazing popcorn tofu from Wheatsville Co-Op. This popcorn tofu [...]

Firstly, thank you to everyone who left such wonderful comments on my last post. It really means a lot to me and I love hearing from other women who are making/have made the same realization. Now, on to business… Are you looking for something awesome to make for this Sunday’s Easter Brunch? Or just any [...]

Do you know how I avoid #pumpkinburnout in the fall? I don’t go crazy with pumpkin between October 1st and November 30th, trying to work it into every little dish I prepare. That’s a hard no. What I do is spread out my pumpkin usage throughout the rest of the year. It’s all about balance. [...]

Creamy Potato Split Pea Soup

Creamy Potato Split Pea Soup

March 10, 2017

Recently, I’ve been really into bringing leftovers to work for lunch. Specifically, I like leftovers that come from a big pot of something and I preferably can eat it with a spoon. It’s also best if I can dip toast in it. This potato split pea soup falls into that category. Our office has the [...]

Cravings have a funny way of taking over your life. Or maybe that’s just me. Once I start craving something, I have a hard time thinking about anything else. And that’s how this Thai Peanut Tofu and Sweet Potato Bowl began- as a craving. It first hit me while I was at work. Peanut sauce. [...]

“They seem to be really into these corncake things,” I said while perusing the restaurant’s online menu on my iPhone. We were in Portland, Oregon, looking for a place to eat breakfast on a weekday. “Well, the menu sounds pretty good. Let’s go there,” said my friend. So we piled into the car and they [...]

I don’t know about you, but I’m all about big, warm bowls of comfort-goodness these days. I could be wrong (*enter sarcasm here), but I think it has to do with the current climate- weather and political. Anyway, our dinners recently have been a constant rotation of creamy soups, chunky stews, and this spicy lentil [...]

Not About Food: An Introvert’s Guide to the Resistance

February 7, 2017

This dark and, frankly, very terrifying moment in US history has lit a fire inside many people that normally don’t get very political. I’m one of those people. I’ve always cared and paid attention to big issues and I’ve always voted but I mostly stayed out of it. It was never “my thing.” But now, [...]

Chickpea Avocado Taquitos

Chickpea Avocado Taquitos

I grew up in a fast food family. Getting dinner from a drive-thru was a regular occurrence. One of my family’s regular go-to’s was Foster’s Freeze (we had one a few minutes from our house), where my mother would always get a large order of taquitos. Of course, these taquitos were completely not vegan, being [...]

How many awesome words are in that title, amiright? Nachos, Mac and Cheese, Tacos- they’re basically every vegan’s three favorite food groups. You may be asking: How, pray tell, did you manage to put them all together into one handheld festival of deliciousness? I’ll break it down for you. I combined regular ol’ mac and [...]

Not About Food: 5 Things 2016 Has Taught Me

December 29, 2016

I know I’m not alone in thinking that 2016 has been one douchebag of a year. According to my Facebook feed, the large majority of my friends have some choice words about 2016 and what they’d like it to do with itself. Several times this year, especially in these last couple of months, Chris and I [...]

I wish I could put this recipe for Gluten-Free Vegan Cinnamon Rolls down as a Christmas Miracle but that would signify that this recipe just happened suddenly, miraculously, on its own. But that’s not how this went down at all. In actuality, I’ve tested this recipe, tweaking it each time, no less than 25 times. I [...]

It’s winter. I love this time of year. Everything feels so sparkly and magical and cozy and warm. Or at least it usually does. This year, I’m having to struggle to feel the coziness, to see the sparkle. I’m closing in on one year without my mother and just this week, it’s been 3 years [...]

Hi folks. How are all of you doing? This has been a doozy of a few weeks, amiright? This recent election has definitely made the holiday season much more somber than usual. I’m trying to keep my spirits up and I’m trying to balance fighting and self-care because I know if I don’t take care of [...]

It was just after 2 am on a fall evening in downtown San Jose. A dear girlfriend of mine, my ex-boyfriend, a another (male) friend, and I were walking home from a club. We were in our early 20’s and drunk in the way that only those who have finally earned the right to start drinking [...]
