Baked Taquitos
Do you ever take where you are in life at this moment and then scan back to an exact year ago and see where you were and how far you have come? One of the things that I enjoy doing is taking the year anniversary of a really big transition or change that occurred in life...
Orange-Rosemary Wine Cooler
I have been drinking many one of these this week. I got the idea from a hotel in Seattle and I’ve been hooked ever since.

The Ultimate Break-Apart Cookie
I’ve been learning so much about how to deal with life this week. This recipe is a great representation of said lesson. You can set out to do something all you’d like but always to open to (and expect) set backs. In fact, allow those set backs to be your teacher and your guide. When...

Quinoa Taco “Meat”

Avocado Mango Fig Salsa
It’s already happening. We completely bypassed any sign of winter and went straight into spring. The worst part? It’s already summer now here in LA. Let’s do the math. That’s 6 months of hot, hot heat. It’s miserable when you only have a window air conditioning unit and the heat sucks out any ounce of...

Cauliflower Spanish “Rice”
I try my best in life to maintain a balanced mentality towards food by avoiding using descriptive words like “off-limits”, “guilty”, or even allowing myself to feel shame after eating. (Note that I said try: I am not perfect). Not that I was always this way. I used to be a slave to food. I would...
Zema’s Foods Baking Mix Giveaway
The folks over at Zema’s Foods were so kind to send me a free sample of their Rosemary-Millet Focaccia & Pizza Crust Mix.

However, upon first bite of this bread all I could think of was…...

Beer-Battered Cauliflower Tacos
There are 3 things you need in life: Something to do. Something to love. Something to look forward to.

Crispy Orange Cauliflower
Just when you thought Chinese food was off-limits… Proof as to why I am a better cook than baker. Cooking comes a lot more naturally for me–I am more at ease in finding my way around my spice rack than I ever am at baking a cake. There’s something so relaxing to me about chopping up...
