It was another cold and blustery day in Durham today. In addition to daydreams of warmth, weather like this never fails to provoke my cravings for warm, comforting foods. Although creamy pasta dishes and steamy soups are at the top of my list, nothing comes close to oatmeal. I’m not sure if it is…
Hummus Tortilla Pizza: The Perfect Fast and Simple Meal
Life can be pretty hectic as an individual in modern society. Although each day is different, I often find it difficult to set aside the time to cook laborious meals on my busiest days. At times like these, I look to simple (but still delicious) meals that I can whip up in less than 20-30…
Garlic and Herb Roasted Vegetables
Mmm roasted vegetables. So versatile, so comforting, and so very yummy. Whether they are served as a side dish to a main course, over grains like quinoa, or as the highlight of a pasta dish, they are incredibly nourishing in all forms! Although roasted vegetables are generally tasty regardless of the preparation and cooking methods…
Sweet Potato Oven Fries with Maple-Garlic Tahini Dip
It all started one Thanksgiving evening years ago when I was a young child. My somewhat-picky taste buds left me with my usual bland dinner plate, but something changed that year. I believe it was my mother and cousin who managed to convince me that I simply HAD to try the sweet potato casserole due…

Although traditional Italian vegetables,…
Soul-Nourishing Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes
Food plays a huge role in nourishment of the soul. When we restrict ourselves, we are bound to feel deprived, then often break away from our “healthy” habits to seek the satisfaction that we were missing. Nobody is “perfect,” and there is no single “right” way for everyone to eat. My mother eats chocolate every…
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
I absolutely LOVE hummus. It has become a daily staple in my diet, and is one of my favorite ways to add protein and flavor to any meal. By that, I really do mean ANY meal. It is my spread of choice on sandwiches, wraps, and creative pizzas, and my condiment of choice alongside raw…
Quinoa and Sautéed Veggie Cakes
Quinoa is a nourishing ingredient that can be used in a variety of ways. As a pseudo-grain that contains all nine essential amino acids, it has a low glycemic index to prevent spikes in blood sugar levels, is gluten-free, and is rich in protein, fiber, iron, magnesium, manganese, B vitamins, and so much more. Tonight…
Easy Macaroni and Cheese (Minus the Cheese)
Tonight was definitely a pasta kind of night. Pasta has always been one of my favorite foods. Growing up, I was a huge lover of rich and creamy sauces. But after discovering the severity of my lactose intolerance a few years ago, I decided to give up most dairy products, and grew to love simple,…
