Roasted Carrot, Sweet Potato and Apple Soup
Sometimes I like to cook meals based on color. Maybe because I’m a weirdo. Maybe it’s because if I’m taking the time to cook something made to taste good, I’d like for it to look appetizing as well–and for me, … Continue reading
Ginger Vanilla Applesauce
What do you do when you’ve got a handful of apples too soft to enjoy eating on their own? You make applesauce, because it’s easy. And delicious. I’ve eaten homemade applesauce, though I hadn’t made it myself before today. There … Continue reading

Smoky Fakin’ Tempeh Strips
I admit it. I don’t cook meat at home, but every now and then (say, twice a year or so) I crave smoky, peppery, crisp bacon… Be it on a sandwich, alongside a delicious omelet, or to counter-balance sweet Belgian … Continue reading
Homemade Chai Tea
I admit it. I am a coffee-drinker. In the morning, I’d prefer coffee over tea almost 98.99% of the time. However, I also love a good cup of chai. Atlas Tea Club helped me to get different kinds of experience … Continue reading
