Velveegan! When I dip, you dip, we dip. Thanks to Taylor who submitted Velveeta-ish cheesy dip as her suggestion for the Make It Vegan segment of my blog. It’s like the suggestion was meant to be since I had been thinking about cheesy dip already that day (I mean, when do I not think about that sort...

The takoyaki – little crepe balls filled with yummy things – at Maru Global can be made vegan! We got some Maru Global takeout not too long ago, and I think their takoyaki makes the perfect dinner when you want to try a lot of different things and are kind of tired of the same...

About six months back, I did a post on a vegetarian restaurant called Thoreau. While Thoreau is no longer in existence, the owner’s original spot, Blue Sage, is alive, well, and amazing.

What was your most recent impulse buy? Mine was an ice cream maker. For $20 (I love you, Target), my little Sunbeam ice cream maker whips up little batches in 25 minutes. It’s got a canister with thick walls and some mystery goo encased inside (the ice cream doesn’t touch it! don’t worry)… that,...

Today I had my first day off from cooking in a really long time… and it felt nice (and weird). Isn’t it strange that we need to take breaks from stuff we really enjoy? (Even Kitchen Nightmares marathons and a freezer full of ice cream can get old after awhile…) The temperature reached into...
