Whenever I first began eating a more plant-based diet, the avocado became a huge part of my life. I rarely ate it growing up, only in the occasional guacamole and never did I eat it by itself. It simply wasn’t something my parents ever though to buy or what I gravitated to when eating out. [...]

Mint Vegan Alfredo Sauce
October 25, 2012 – 8:08 am
You don’t need the cream, butter and cheese to enjoy a filling pasta dish. Avocado is a rich, decadent replacement that, when paired with garlic, lemon, and fresh mint leaves, doesn’t carry with it any semblance of guacamole. It’s simply a delicious, creamy Alfredo pasta sauce deserving of all the praise I promise it’ll receive. [...]
Kale Wraps & Spicy Mango Sauce
June 14, 2012 – 4:07 am
The go-to lunch or snack in my kitchen is collard or kale wraps. I’ll remove the middle stem and use each half to wrap around whatever is hanging out in the fridge that pairs well together. Doing this ensures you fulfill your green quotient for the day whilst taking advantage of what you already have, [...]

As Summer approaches, fresh salads are looking a lot more appetizing. For me, the only way salads don’t get old fast, is if I have a steady arsenal of dressings at my disposal. With strawberries coming into season, what better time to make a homemade version of strawberry balsamic vinaigrette?

I simply add the ingredients to a bowl with greens. However, when blended, the flavor is more consistent throughout the salad and [...]

Sometimes the only thing that makes a vegetable appealing is everything…but it. A flavorful dressing, sauce, or dip can make the difference between a blah, force-fed meal and one that you inhale in 5 minutes flat. This dip ensures the latter. I hate cooking with cauliflower and broccoli. Sure, I love their taste (nothing beats [...]
Raw Carrot & Avocado Kale Salad
February 10, 2011 – 11:20 pm
YUM is all I can say. Salads are fun because you can eat them in an infinite amount of ways by just changing the dressing up, but let’s face it–it’s easy to be bored by them. The key is to make sure every dressing tastes like Jesus, but without divine, hard-to-get/expensive ingredients. By keeping it [...]
Angelica Kitchen, NYC
January 3, 2011 – 11:21 pm
My best friend took me out to Angelica Kitchen in NYC’s East Village tonight. The place has a small, scrunched interior that somehow maintains a sense of ease and calm despite how busy it is. The food is clean, simple and straight-forward. For vegans and health-enthusiasts, it’s a sigh of relief. For the foodie who [...]
