Simple, comforting, and a bit exotic: that is the picture Miso soup paints in my mind. The exotic part is a bit of a stretch as I had it growing up in just about every Chinese or Japanese Hibachi restaurant I ever went to. Actually, saying I had it “growing up” is a bit silly because…
Homemade Everything Bagels
I recently spent the weekend in Charlotte, NC visiting some girlfriends for a much needed Girl’s Weekend! Manicures, red wine, yoga, and SO much girl talk. On such occasions I always try to bring some sort of food to munch on after the wine buzz kicks in and dinner wears off. This weekend was no…
Spicy Hot Cocoa
The weather is changing, my friends. It is becoming that time where all I really want to do is curl up on my couch with a good book, pets all around, hot mug of steaming liquid in my hand, and forget about everything else. I particularly like to read Anne Rice’s vampire novels during the…
DIY Whipped Lotion
Alright, first things first, do NOT eat this! It will not taste good. It is not meant for human consumption. I realize this is a food blog, but my fridge went out this past weekend and I did not find out until I came home on Sunday….which happens to be my main blogging day. Therefore,…
Fresh. Basil. Pesto.
Is there anything better than fresh basil pesto? Some would say “Yes, Jenn, of course there is. Don’t be silly”. And you know, maybe those people are right; but at this very moment I would disagree. I am in LOVE with this pesto. I have always been a fan but for some reason using cashews…
Jenn’s Famous Fruit Pizza
So let me start this post off by saying….”famous” in the title is more of a dream than an actual fact…. I would like this recipe to tour the world and bring ecstasy to taste-buds all over our green earth. Is that going to happen? I do not know….I think the first step would…
Adult Mac and Cheeze
This creamy, high fiber and carotenoid rich mac and cheez is delicious and swoon worthy. I created this recipe while trying to find a comparable mac and cheez to the ooey gooey boxed kind I grew up with. Little did I know that blue boxed mac and cheese was laden with food dyes, sodium, and…
Acorn Squash Chowder
Fall is here! Woohoo!! Like the social media all around me; I am PUMPED! It was pretty awesome that the first day of fall was actually chilly too! It happened overnight and it really got me in the spirit! From here on out it is a count down to my favorite holidays! I adore Halloween…
Animal Free BLT!
My one year Vegiversary is coming up next month and I must say time sure does fly! After forgoing meat for almost a year, many of my friends ask how I am doing. They want to know how difficult the change in my diet has been and if there are certain meals I miss. …
Easy Peasy Asian Stiry Fry
Two words. Stir. Fry. When I hear those words I first think of Stir Fridays from the TV show Archer which is a hilarious, albeit rather vulgar comedy cartoon. After controlling my giggles from those thoughts, my imagination then moves to picturing big bowls of rice and veggies doused in rich Asian flavors of sesame…
