Today I share a recipe that is good because of it’s simple and fresh ingredients. You will need fresh bread and fresh tomatoes in order to taste the full flavor effect from this combination of foods. If you have a greener thumb than I, perhaps you have tomatoes in your garden. I tried to grow…
Sesame Garlic Okra
As it turns out, okra is difficult to photograph. Or rather, okra was difficult for me to photograph. I did what I could in order to try to convince your eye that this okra is delicious and worth cooking in your own kitchen. It only takes a few minutes too, which is pretty awesome. Okra is…
Tomato Basil Bisque
It took me a little while to decide what to name this soup. I was originally going to call it Classic Tomato Basil Soup. However, it really isn’t all that classic. Don’t get me wrong, it still has that comforting quality you need in a tomato soup for when you are sick or chilled to the…
Margherita Pizza with Fresh Basil Pesto & Vegan Mozzarella
I know time does not technically change again until November, but I can tell that it is changing each morning. My biological clock has been sleeping in a bit later due to the morning rays being a little behind what they were only a few weeks ago. I haven’t decided if I like this or…
Basil Pesto Zoodles with Tomatoes & Roasted Red Peppers
This weekend was Columbia’s annual Palmetto Tasty Tomato Festival. This is my personal favorite food and music festival that Soda City has to offer!

Super Simple Potato Curry
There are times that even I, lover of the kitchen, do not want to spend a long time cooking. Those times are far and few between, but they do occur on occasion. When this happens, we often throw a frozen pizza in the oven and call it a day. Sometimes, though, I’m craving something a…
South(west)ern Grits
A basic grits recipe was the first thing I EVER learned how to make. Born and raised in South Carolina, I find this comes at no surprise. Grits are a staple here, and many of those outside of the deep south do not understand our love for these coarsely ground corn kernels. Today, I may…
Healthy Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes {Vegan}
There really is nothing quite like a messy, sticky, sloppy joe. I always got excited when it was sloppy joe day in my day care as a kid and not much has changed. I was just as excited to have sloppy joe day this past weekend. There is something about that sweet and salty texture…

Maybe tangy is more your style, the point is this…get a good barbecue sauce recipe! This one is mine, and…
Vegan Tzatziki
It never fails that come February I am sick and tired of winter. In the beginning of the cold weather I am so excited to curl up in my fuzzy robe to sip on some cocoa or tea, eat some hot soup and just snuggle under a warm blanket. Then Christmas comes and goes, New…
