If you’re looking to spice up your avocado toast game, but aren’t ready to let go of that beautiful green-colored shmear on your warm bread, guacamole […]
Read MoreI don’t know about you, but sometimes, (okay, most of the time) I prefer a breakfast that takes less than a blink of the eye to make. If you have a bun in the oven, the fun game of Will I or Won’t I Get Sick This Morning just adds to the need for something […]
Read MoreYou may or may not know this about me, but I’m a slut for a good salad. Especially one with a lot of nuts. And this salad happens to be one of my favorite go-to’s. It has a great texture, a lot of crunch, and is full of plant-based protein. This salad takes about five […]

Read MoreLike many vegans, I rely on hummus as a go-to in times both dire and plentiful.

Grab some hummus on the way there to keep your hanger at bay. You and […]
Read MoreSometimes, a girl just needs to be so goddamn awake all the time that she could beat reality in a staring contest. Enter, my extreme love of coffee. I can’t explain it but I’m not complaining. It keeps me perky and productive. It might stain my teeth, but it makes the whole house smell like […]
Read MoreMaybe it’s the Californian in me, but it just doesn’t feel like summer without a state fair: the poke of straw into the tender skin between your toes, the scent of onion rings gently settling in your hair, the dull ache of defeat as you try and fail to persuade a blue-ribbon goat to let […]
Read MoreAs fun as it is to be lathered in grease after finishing off a giant bag of chips (I’m looking at you, Cool Ranch Doritos), it’s less fun with the pimple breakouts and guilt trips loved ones give you when they’re looking for the empty bag you’ve hidden out of shame. Here are some satisfyingly […]
Read More(In the voice of Sophia Petrillo) Picture this: you spent an hour making dinner for the family. All food groups were represented. You barely even spilled anything on the counter! You are PROUD. And then, you hear those four little words: Mom, what’s for dessert? Well, shit. You tell them to grab an apple and […]
Read MoreFor many years, my mom’s reliance on the Costco bulk fruit trays to liven up summertime meals meant I associated watermelon with pinkish, half-frozen lumps that tasted mostly like the fridge they’d been stored in for days. The first time I cut up a fresh watermelon and ate it standing over my sink, juice streaming […]

Read MoreIt’s getting to be my favorite time of year — when the setting of the sun has absolutely no effect on how hot it is outside, and when my jorts acquire so much sand, sweat-salt, and general funk in a single day that they practically stand upright when I take them off. True, I haven’t […]
Read MorePesto is a fabulously flavorful and endlessly versatile sauce to prep ahead and use on absolutely everything. But it is generally made with cheese, and therefore not traditionally vegan. Fortunately, there is an animal product-free ingredient that makes for a super cheesy and rich taste in pesto. If you are not already on board with […]
Read MoreCooking isn’t easy. Plus, who has the time? Especially when, in the midst of lockdown, you just discovered there’s an entire channel dedicated to Gordon Ramsay!
