Simple Zucchini Soup Recipe: Gluten Free, Easy, and Vegan

I almost feel silly sharing this recipe, because it is such a simple recipe, and I feel it is one that anyone can make and figure out on their own. But then I thought to myself that even if people can figure it out on their own, they might not think about doing it. Or […]

One-Pan Quinoa and Roasted Kuri Squash Bake

I mentioned in my recent post how red kuri (or red kabocha squash) is one of my favorite vegetables, because of how buttery, creamy, and delicious it is. I also mentioned how its flavor and texture are best preserved when cooking in liquid, steamed or boiled; this was one of the first recipes I made, […]

Korean Inspired Marinated Vegetable Salad

I got the idea for this salad when I went to my friend Leah for dinner. She served a salad that was salty, umami rich, and vinegary, mushrooms and bean sprouts, together with greens and more. When I got home, I did my best to recreate it, using swiss chard as the greens, because they’re […]

Herbed, Creamy, and Garlicky Buttery Red Kabocha or Kuri Squash – Simple & Gluten-Free

I first discovered kuri squash and red kabocha squash on my vacations in Europe. I hadn’t seen it being sold where I lived, and when I travel I like to buy new foods that I can’t get locally.  I first made it into a stew and then into soups, but the squash was always my […]

Easy Yogurt Cheesecake for Sensitive Stomachs – Gluten & Egg-Free

Periodically, I make cheesecakes for the family. The last time I planned to make cheesecake, my daughter asked me, “Mommy, are you going to make cheesecake that makes you sick? Because last time you said it was worth it, but then afterwards you changed your kind.” And she was right. The previous time, I had […]

I have no problem with being fat and don’t think fat makes you unhealthy generally, and most of my health issues aren’t connected to my weight, but for this, I am attempting weight […]

Easy Chicken Tangsuyuk Pancake – Korean Sweet and Sour Crispy Chicken Recipe

I love Korean food. It is probably my favorite cuisine, other than possibly Tex Mex or Middle Eastern. Or Chinese. I even used to make Korean food and sell it as takeout, a couple of years ago when my body hurt less. Who doesn’t like sweet and sour chicken? Periodically I crave crispy, deep-fried chicken […]

Homemade Gluten Free Vegan Soft Pretzels Recipe

I was never the biggest bread fan, so going off gluten wasn’t such a big deal for me in that sense. Pasta? Eh, gluten free stuff isn’t perfect, but it’s nearly as good if fresh, and I haven’t been lacking in that area in the 14 years since going gluten free. Pizza was one of […]

Creamy Lemon Fennel Pasta with Edamame (Gluten-Free & Vegan Options)

The credit for this recipe goes entirely to my friend, Samantha, even though she never made it, nor did she give me the recipe. A little while back Samantha ate at a restaurant near her, and she was so delighted by the dish she ordered, that she wrote about it and its flavors in depth. […]
