I live two blocks away from a really great Italian ravioli store called Pastosa. Aside from the best homemade raviolis they carry an amazing array of fresh breads from Brooklyn, homemade fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, and lots of other temping goodies. It’s actually dangerous walking in there as all their mouth watering goodies are displayed right there in front of you. Today I had a plan and didn’t stray, I picked up some roasted peppers, tomatoes, a wonderful whole wheat loaf and fresh mozzarella, sliced thin (great trick to keep yourself from using too much as it is not low in fat!...

Life is too short. I realize this now more than ever. So many times we put our lives on hold for this or that or fear or the time isn’t right, but NO MORE!!! Watching someone you love endure so much pain to merely survive has forever changed the way I perceive life. Through all of his pain and suffering, he still managed to say things like, “thank you,” “please,” “I’m so blessed,” “I’ve lived a good life,” because that’s just the type of person he was....

Turkey Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie This sweet potato shepherd’s pie recipe was inspired from my classic Shepherd’s Pie. I also have a meatless version, Portobello Shepherd’s Pie (vegetarian). This is a crazy month for the North East. First we got slammed with a hurricane, and yesterday a Nor’easter. This is what it looks like outside my door… Thousands of people, including myself are still without power. Here on the south shore of Long Island, the fear the power company has is if they turn the power back on, it may start fires to the homes with severe water damage....

While I love plant-forward mains for the holidays, like Lentil Stuffed Butternut Squash or Cauliflower Steaks, most omnivores don’t think of these as main dishes suitable for a holiday meal. Enter this vegan mushroom wellington, which has been a total crowd-pleaser at every party I’ve made it for. The lentil and mushroom filling is nourishing and wholesome, while the umami-heavy flavors and flaky buttery pastry remind everyone at the table that this is a meaty main, NOT a veggie side dish....

Unstuffed Pepper Skillet You guys all know by now my love for skillet meals. I am cooking so much and most of the top recipes here on the blog are skillet meals. I love creating 30 minute recipes that are made in one skillet and require little clean up. I am always trying to find the perfect skillet. I think one of the most frustrating things about cooking on a skillet is wondering if it is hot enough....

If no one was paying attention, I’d furtively dip a French fry or two into one of the milkshakes, savoring the bizarrely delicious sweet-salty combo as it instantly dissolved in my mouth. Now, as an adult, I know that the fast food industry gods had literally chemically engineered these foods to be addictive, but at eight years old, I was just living that ignorance-is-bliss chocolate milkshake life. Fast forward many years later when I came to the belated realization that dairy is really bad for your body, animals, and the planet....

You can also replace the dairy with plant-based ingredients with very little impact on flavour and texture. My favourite Vegan Daal Makhani recipe Here’s my vegan Daal Makhani recipe for the days you crave a soulful dinner that calls for time and care. I don’t carve out time in my schedule for such preparations but when I happen to have such foresight, this Daal Makhani is my go-to recipe....

Has anyone ever been out for Indo-Chinese food and not ordered Hakka Noodles? I could be mistaken, but I’m 83% sure it’s international law that you order at least one portion. What is Indo-Chinese food? Indo-Chinese cuisine is a treasured part of India’s food culture. The Chinese immigrant community in India began centuries ago, and many settlers lay down new roots around the ports of Kolkata and Madras. The vibrant and flavoursome cooking of India’s Chinese communities has carved a place in all our appetites....

Mushroom Stroganoff I love beef stroganoff, but I wanted to see if there was a way to make it vegetarian for days I want to go meatless. I played around with this Mushroom Stroganoff until we were sick of it, but it was well worth it! This recipe was a huge hit in my house. For more of my favorite Meatless Monday pasta recipes, try Fettuccini with Winter Greens and Poached Egg, Cheesy Baked Pumpkin Pasta, and Spaghetti with Mushrooms, Garlic, and Oil....

Today I have just one word for you. Cute. I was out (ahem) shopping the other day and I wasn’t planning on buying anything. Honest. Yeah, I was window shopping. Then I came across this cuterriffic candy shop charm bracelet! I had to have it no matter what. In fact, I had to have two. Just to take them home and look at them. Forever. I may never wear it....
