I’ve been in the mood for a tropical beach vacation lately. That’s definitely not happening any time soon! But I did make this very nice piña colada drink the other day. It made me feel like I was on a beach for a minute. Maybe. Typically I think a piña colada is made with pineapple […]

Raspberry Shortcake
I had some disappointing news on Monday. I was rejected from another grant for research funding. I started working on this one more than 15 months ago and had gone through one rejection and rewrite already, so this came as a big disappointment at the end of a very long and exhausting process of […]
Market Greens: Garlic Rapini
I’ve been frequenting the farmers market lately. In fact, I went twice last week. Going to the farmers market is a great way to get inspired to cook and inspiration is something I’ve been lacking lately in the cooking department! I love how abundant the farmers market feels—how appealing and delicious the fruits and vegetables look […]
Avocado Corn Salad with Lime
There’s something about that fresh summer produce that makes me want to eat things raw, and the fact that the weather is hot makes it more unappealing to turn on the stove or oven. Earlier this week, I posted the raw zucchini ‘caprese’ salad. Today, I’ve got for you a simple salad that celebrates fresh, raw […]
Raw Zucchini ‘Caprese’ Salad
I’ve been trying to eat more uncooked fruits and vegetables lately. It’s certainly not a hardship eating more raw fruits and vegetables in the middle of summer when there is an abundance of fresh produce. This easy salad celebrates the zucchini and basil we have coming into our garden and mimics the flavor profiles of […]
Raspberry White Chocolate Layer Cake
When I was a teenager growing up in Pittsburgh, a small catering kitchen and cooking school opened around the corner from our house, called Food Glorious Food. Brad and Tom are the owners and they have grown the business into a successful neighborhood staple, offering a bakery several times a week. Lines are out the door to […]
Vegan Southwest Burgers
You might be wondering why there’s a giant piece of cake on a ‘vegan southwest burgers’ post. Well, I’ll tell you. Yesterday, I woke up determined to be productive…despite the fact that it was Monday. And despite the fact that I woke up with a splitting headache. I had a bunch of errands to run that […]
Frozen Watermelon
Happy Friday, readers! The question for today is… what do you do when you get a bad watermelon? You know, when you spend all this time at the market picking out what you hope will be the perfect melon only to find when you crack it open that it’s mealy or soft or just not […]
Roasted Red Pepper Dressing
It seems like ages since I’ve posted a recipe. It’s probably because I have been really uninspired to cook lately. I know it happens to everyone, but somehow writing a blog that features recipes makes my lack of inspiration all the more noticeable (to me, at least). To be honest, this dressing isn’t even my […]
Lemony Stars (Vegan Lemon Shortbread Cookies)
I’ve not been so great about posting every day here on the old blogaroo this week. This week happens to be finals week, which I would have expected to be pretty uneventful since I’m neither taking classes nor teaching this quarter. But somehow the anxiety of finals week has made its way to me from […]
