By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe challenge sponsored by Cabot Creamery and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time. Grilled cheese… that’s really all I had to say right? I didn’t even have to mention the sweet cinnamon-y local peach butter, the roasted… Read More»
Spicy Veggie Chili
Remember 2 Mondays ago when Ohio State shocked the world and won the National Championship? That same night, I shocked the world (of Texas) with an amazing chili recipe– with NO meat! Texans tend to get pretty squirrely when you mention taking the meat out of something… so I just don’t mention it. I let… Read More»

Sesame Beet and Goat Cheese Dip
There’s nothing like a bright purple dip to dress up your holiday feast! I had never roasted beets before, and I had no idea they would come out with this brilliant color!

I adapted this simple recipe from one of my very favorite cookbooks, Forks Over Knives. It’s full of over 300 plant-based whole food recipes and follows one of my favorite theories about food: I love the flavors of Thai food, but I’m not expert on cooking the cuisine. This recipe requires no prior experience cooking Thai… Read More»
Poblano Chilaquiles
The breakfast chilaquiles at State and Allen was my very first brunch meal in Dallas. I just picked what I thought was the weirdest thing off the menu at the time: Two fried eggs, Oaxaca cheese, Tasso ham, black beans, & edamame on warm tortilla chips-served w/a side of salsa. And oh, was it good. Typically,… Read More»
