Tuna Noodle Casserole

I have gone my whole life not even thinking twice about making a tuna casserole, and I'm pretty sure I have never eaten one either, but for some reason last week I had the most intense craving for it. Weird? yes, but I'll blame the isolation. I don't typically like canned tuna, but I found …

Tempeh Spring Rolls

  I like making things that don't take very long. If it takes longer than 20 minutes start to finish it better be Thanksgiving, or I don't want anything to do with it. I'm a speedy cook in general, which I'd like to give credit to my training, but in reality when I'm hungry I …

Ahi-Avo Jicama Salad

Thai Lettuce Wraps (Larb)

You know when you go out to eat and think afterwards, I could have made that at home, and it leaves you feeling pretty meh? I never feel that way when I go out to eat Thai, and that's why it's my favorite cuisine. This is exclusive to Asian cuisines though, don't take me out to …

Chimichurri

I first tried Chimichurri on Carne Asada at Hola a few years ago, and have thought about recreating it ever since. I actually don't remember if the version I made tastes that similar to the one I first tried, but I do know I loved this version. This sauce is a flavor explosion, versatile, and …

Shepherd’s Pie

Comfort food at it's finest. I love a good shepherd's pie, and with this twist on a classic, I can feel good about eating it as often as I want! This version has ground beef and vegetables topped with cauli-mash and cheese toasted under the broiler. You can really choose any veggies you like, but …
