OKAY, I’m calling it California because it reminds me of California. When I was there. And I ate food there. …The avocados. Truthfully, I can’t stop thinking about the food in California! We had dinner at (fine, a chain. but I didn’t know it at the time) True Food Kitchen, and it was soul-punchingly delicious. […]

Mediterranean Lentil Salad
Bonjouuuuur mon amiiii, merci pour toi, fermer la porrrrrrte. I’m obviously awesome at French. I took four years in school. I was even the teacher’s aid one year. FERMER LA JEALOUSYYY. So it’s a big holiday week and guess what!! We’re eating clean. Is this sacrilegious? Je ne sais pas. I also realize I’m calling […]
Lentils with Garden Vegetables, Avocado, Walnuts and Hummus
She’s a brainiac, braaaainiac, at your door. And she’s thinking like she never thought before. Brain food! Not brains in the food, ya silly boob, but food that’s good for your brain, ya lilly moob. You know how we’re supposed to eat certain foods that look like certain parts of our body because those foods […]
Roasted Vegetable and Quinoa Salad
Disclaimer alert: This dish is obnoxiously healthy. Proceed at your own risk. I’ve been known to be somewhat of a disclaimer queen in my day. “These dusty baseboards are not my fault! It’s like the freaking Dust Bowl part 2 out there.” “I tried to vacuum Charlie’s hair off those pillows but homegirl just gets […]
Roasted Curried Cauliflower and Chickpeas with Grains
Is it too late to declare this “GRAIN WEEK FOR THE SOUL?” How ’bout for the pancreas? Just kidding. I just realized with Sylvia on Monday and the quinoa biz yesterday and now THIS? All these mofo grainz, boyyyyy. By the time Friday gets here though I’ll have to call it “OPPOSITE OF GRAIN WEEK […]
Curried Bulgur Sliders
To avoid any confusion on the spelling of the weirdotron word “bulgur”, I’m going to refer to these sliders as Sylvia. Because honestly, why is it such a pain to spell? Bulgur, bulgar, bulghur, burghul, bullhonkylonky. This is why Sylvia clearly makes sense. What I’m trying to say is, I made something vegan! And I […]
Vegetarian Barley Toss
Taste the rainbow? Wait, don’t sue me! Actually, let me try to come up with my own new colorful, healthy slogan, eh!? Okay, here goes: “Taste all that color, chach mcgrach.” Ehhh, boring. “It’s like eating crayons, but not as waxy.” Why do I kind of like that? “Because sweating in Hypercolor is sexy.” […]
Late Summer Grilled Corn Salsa
(to be read to the tune of “release me” by wilson phillips. and I am so, so sorry.) I know that it’s time for a change Mmm but when that change comes Will you still taste the same? How many times have I longed to grill you when it’s cold? I don’t want to give […]
Raw Kale Salad with Garden Vegetables and Wild Rice
Remember the scene in Sex and The City where the girls go to that new restaurant called Raw and Miranda was all, “This is like lawn in a bowl.”? Yeah, see you’re not gonna say that here. (Unless you want to because omg it was hilarious.) And remember in another scene when Samantha goes back […]
Green Tofu Curry with Brown Rice
I have a bone to pick with tofu. You know how when you go to a Thai restaurant with your vegetarian friend and he/she orders something with tofu in it and it comes back to the table all beautifully nestled in a vibrant sauce with colorful vegetables and the tofu is in DISGUSTINGLY PERFECT little […]
