Grilled Turkey Burgers with Onion & Peppers
Green grass, long sunny days, fresh strawberries and warmer weather. Summer is right around the corner and I can already smell the dinners roasting on the grill.

Chinese Chicken Salad
I love Chinese Chicken Salad, and I have to say that this cliche all-American Chinese dish sits right up there with the rest of the western classics – like the good ol’ ceasar or the hearty cobb. What I love most about the salad is the texture It’s all about the thinly chopped, watery Iceberg lettuce, sprinkles of fried noodles, [...]

Chili Lime Tofu Tostadas
I am a creature of habit. But who isn’t, right? We find the things that we like, we settle into routines, we opt for the KNOWN path of least resistance. We find our little ways of creating comfort (and order). Like everyone else, I have my little “things” that I do and like. I think of the wooden spoon I [...]
Creamy {vegan} Broccoli Soup
My mom always had her own sense of style – this eclectic mix of hand-me-downs that she had gathered over the years. Most of it came from my fashionista grandmother. Beautiful stuff that would have been perfect for any Mad Men party. Less so for a trip to the grocery store, a Little League game or a weekend beach picnic. [...]
