I’m a bit obsessed with seasoning. I have a drawer packed to the gills with various bottles of dried herbs and spices, as well as several in jars stacked up on my counter (because I use them so often, it’s just easier to have them at the ready). I know they can make ingredient lists [...]

I sure do love me a tasty warm salad sometimes. The kind with a roasted, caramelized veggie mixed with a few other ingredients of varying temperatures and textures and tossed in a creamy, tangy dressing. You know what I’m talking about. This salad is composed mainly of quinoa and warm, freshly roasted brussels sprouts. Then [...]

The Big-Ass Salad. Enemy of Hunger. Titan of Tastiness. Friend to vegans everywhere. You know the image of the stereotypical scrawny, pale vegan, sadly eating a pitiful bowl of lettuce? It’s about as accurate as saying badgers are sweet, cuddly, winged creatures that fart gumdrops. Vegans are vibrant, healthy people who know how to do salads [...]

When I received my review copy of (culinary wizard) Terry Hope Romero’s newest book, Salad Samurai: 100 Cutting-Edge, Ultra-Hearty, Easy-to-Make Salads You Don’t Have to Be Vegan to Love, I died. I died and went to glorious salad heaven. In Salad Samurai, Romero shares 100 salads, all broken down by season. There’s also a slew of [...]

Because my normal “real” job is freelance, I often go long spurts between gigs. This time, I had a year in between gigs. A lot of that time was spent working on the cookbook, but still. It’s a whole different ballgame when you have to get dressed (as opposed to hanging out in my skivvies)(just [...]

“Why is it 85 degrees at 8:00 am?” I yelled at my car radio this morning. I am totally one of those people that you see talking or yelling while they’re driving by themselves. I don’t have road rage by any stretch of the imagination, but I do talk to the radio. I correct the way [...]

Who’s totally tired of all of the warm, heavy comfort foods that come with the winter? Yeah, me neither. But with all of the recipe testing for the book, my body is getting a little bit tired of heavy food (not that all of the recipes for the book are “heavy.” There’s just a lot of [...]

You know when summer just feels so good all you want to do is just slow down, relax, and basically just be lazy? I think the official term for this feeling is “summer laziness.”  That’s what my doctor called it, anyway. Well, those times call for super delicious food that’s easy to make.  Even better [...]

As a kid, there was a Mexican restaurant that my family went to all the time, El Burro.  I loved this place because, at the time, there was a big fountain outside with little frog statues that shot water out of their mouths and a big, covered gazebo where I could pretend I was on [...]

The job I was working when I decided to go vegan was as a nutritional advisor at a personal catering company, which was run by a celebrity nutritionist here in LA.  Daily, I would listen to people tell me about their food preferences and their goals regarding this new eating plan, whether it was for [...]

Heart of Palm, Jicama, Asparagus, Cabbage, Tangerines, and Maple Sriracha Pecans all in one salad?  Yes, it’s true.  I know that sounds like a motley crew of ingredients but you have to trust me on this one. I tend to be a play-it-safe kind of gal.  It’s very easy for me to stay in my [...]

Nothing feels more like spring to me than when strawberries and asparagus start popping up at the market or in my CSA delivery. Well, the tree outside of our dining room window beginning to bloom comes pretty darn close. And the part where I can start driving with my sun-roof open is pretty great. Oh, [...]

I am not a dieter.  I’m just not good at depriving myself of food or following strict rules about food.  I find myself getting obsessive about every little calorie and gram of fat and protein and carb and it makes me crazy and angry, so I just don’t do it. I don’t weigh myself, either. [...]

The other day, after class, my yoga teacher said to us “Your sense of peace right now did not come from practicing yoga today.  It came from peeling away the unnecessary layers, revealing your true self.”  This really struck a chord with me and the entire bike ride home and for some time after, I [...]

Before we joined our CSA, we stuck to buying the same fruits and vegetables, week after week.  Even at the farmer’s market, if I had time to go, I knew which items I wanted and stuck to those.  I didn’t bother trying to learn what those “mystery greens” or what that “unidentifiable tubular-shaped vegetable” was.

Last week, I discussed my recent “blahdom” in the kitchen.  My creativity was zapped, and I would be lying if I didn’t (several times) slather some hummus on a pita and call that a meal. After meeting a friend for coffee in Redondo Beach (a place I rarely go to), I was driving home and [...]
