Pina Colada Overnight Oats with Blueberries and Almonds

Overnight oats are all the rage right on food blogs right now.  There are tons of different variations, and let me tell you– I am obsessed with them. The first time I tried, I wasn’t too sure about it– the only way I usually like my oatmeal is in Flourless Oatmeal Pancakes (or cookies), not the … Continue reading »

Chocolate Tofu Pie

Given my life-debilitating handicap (lactose-intolerance! I’ve been feeling very sorry for myself during my everlasting hunt for Lactaid cottage cheese), I’m typically very willing to try any recipe that is not chock full of dairy products.  I’ve experimented with a lot of strange sounding ingredients, but I’ve still found that coconut milk and cashew cream … Continue reading »

Spiced Mushroom Quinoa

When you’re trying to eat only “complex carbs”, things can get boring pretty fast.  Brown rice, oatmeal, whole wheat pasta, Ezekiel bread… blah blah blah, blech blech blech.  I’ve been looking for ways to spice things up (literally) and I came up with this recipe. I tend to like my food more heavily spiced than … Continue reading »

Lean Meatloaf Muffins

In the spring time, I was on a Skinny Bitch craze, now that it’s summertime, it’s all about Jamie Eason.  I love her!  Her recipes rock and she is just so pretty and fit and cool.  Her carrot cake protein bars were wonderful, so I was super excited to try more of her recipes. While … Continue reading »

Anyway, these carrot cake protein bars are … Continue reading »

Foil Baked Lemongrass Lime Chicken

I’m back from Singapore, and also back to cooking for myself again- yay!  In my time spent recovering from crossing  over multiple time zones, I’ve been researching new ways to cook meat and fish.  Because I spend so much time making and experimenting with desserts and vegan food, I haven’t been that creative with chicken, … Continue reading »

Singaporean Kitchen: Chinese Egg Tarts (Dan ta-蛋挞)

If you’re interested in trying something a little bit different from your typical boxed funfetti cupcakes (kidding! I know you’re all talented chefs and bakers), then I strongly recommend you take a shot at making these little cuties. Egg tarts are a Cantonese treat and you generally will see them at Chinese bakeries or dim … Continue reading »

Singaporean Kitchen: Kuih Dadar

Hello from Singapore! I’ve been here for 10 days now and I’ve finally gotten a chance to indulge in some kitchen therapy.  I’ve been having the greatest time eating at the local food courts, wandering the markets, and sampling the cute, colorful desserts. The food here is exciting, flavorful, and really different from anything I’ve … Continue reading »

Tortilla Pizza

This pizza was born because I am lazy and did not feel like making pizza dough from scratch.  I was reeeeaaalllyyyy hungry, and was not up to waiting an hour for some dough to rise, so I just used what was in my refrigerator. Such a college student recipe, right?  It’s really fast, really easy … Continue reading »

Apple Pie Bread

This bread was the product of my attempt to use up all of my perishable foods before going to Singapore for the next three weeks!  I modified the original recipe a bit in order to cram the maximum amount of apples into it and omitted the nuts and raisins completely.  The end result was a … Continue reading »
