This recipe is brunch goals. The creamiest grits. Chewy soy curls seasoned with mouth watering cajun spice. Paired together it is the ultimate comfort food. Admittedly, this isn’t the quickest recipe to make, because to it takes a good chunk of time to make grits properly, but it’s so easy! Grits just need an occasional …

I’m usually not a huge salad eater, preferring my vegetables cooked up and served warm. But after the first month of winter I start craving craving fresh uncooked greens like there’s no tomorrow. It happens every year around the same time, and this year is no different. It started a couple weeks ago when I ordered …
You know those theoretical questions that ask you what cuisine you’d choose if you could only eat one for the rest of your life? They’re along the lines of “what 3 things would you bring to a desert island-“type questions. Mostly I eschew these types of questions, because what crazy dystopian world would have to …
In high school I used to eat breadsticks for lunch multiple times a week. I know, I was pretty much living the dream life. These days my bread consumption had shifted to the morning, as I’m usually enjoying slices of homemade bread or a toasted bagel with a cheesy spread for breakfast. But that doesn’t mean I …
Have you heard? Roasted cauliflower is the new Brussels sprouts! Well, I just made that up and there’s certainly enough room in my heart (and stomach) for both, but I’m definitely going through a big cauliflower phase right now (aka my entire life). Recently I was craving some mustard roasted veggies but there were no Brussels …

I’m sharing another Afghan recipe today, for delicious stuffed bread. Bolani is an Afghan stuffed flatbread, not too different from the Indian stuffed parathas I grew up with. Except that parathas have layers of fat worked into the dough, and while you can stuff the breads whatever veggie or lentil filling you desire, the most …
So, I know it’s been crazy hot all over the US this past week, with the Midwest in particular experiencing record breaking heat waves, but theoretically the first day of fall was just a few days ago and we’re supposed to be settling into our sweaters and steaming mugs of pumpkin spice lattes. Well, however …
So, we bought a house last week! We are super excited about it. The house is in a neighborhood of DC that we love (only a few blocks away from our rental apartment), and we have a yard for the first time ever (as adults)! It’s also been an incredibly busy and stressful time, with …
Have you ever had pickled grapes? The first time I had them was in 2013 at the Paulie Gee’s in Brooklyn. They were a topping on at least one of the vegan pizzas on the menu, and while I was certainly skeptical of grapes on pizza, not to mention grapes that have been pickled, I …
