Hi there! How are you? Life has gotten insanely busy as I have passed the “Three Weeks Until Graduation” mark this weekend. And when life gets busy, all I want to eat is comfort food. Nothing says comfort food like Chicken Marsala. Or Chicken Faux-sala… It’s faux-sala because this chicken dish actually doesn’t have any…
Moustokouloura
Happy Thursday, everyone! How’s your week been going? Today is Holy Thursday, which means that we are three-quarters through Orthodox Holy Week – I cannot believe how quickly time has passed! It has been a whirlwind of clinical rotations, paper writing, and watching my mom whip up spectacular vegan dinners and one amazing vegan dessert…
Happy April Fool’s Day! (White Bean Hummus)
Happy April Fool’s Day! (can you believe that it’s April already?!) I am not big on pulling pranks, today or any day, but if you want to play a delicious prank on your family and friends, whip up a batch of my mom’s April Fool’s Hummus (which is absolutely harmless!). It is a twist on…
Split Pea Soup
I have Spring Fever. All I want is green grass, trees with green buds, and flowers with big green leaves. Green, green, and more green. Which means that I was absolutely delighted when I came home from rotation tonight and seeing that my mom was in the process of whipping up a big pot of…
Roasted Vegetables
I really, really love vegetables. Kinda goes with the whole RD2Be thing. So when my mom made approximately five pounds of roasted vegetables this week, my heart soared and my stomach rejoiced (if internal organs were capable of emotions and thought). I love roasted vegetables. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables, making…
Asian Sugar Snap Peas
Who loves sugar snap peas? Me too! Sugar snap peas are a magical vegetable. A perfect shade of green, delightfully crisp, and chock full of vitamin C. If I’m not careful, I can polish off a one-pound bag in an afternoon… It may be my favorite vegetable of all time (at least right now!). But…
Mushroom-Lentil Potpie
I love Pinterest. Seriously, I love, love, love Pinterest. If I could, I would sit around all day and scroll through the millions of crafting ideas, recipes, makeup tips, and exercise regimens. As much as I would like to do this (preferably in my pj’s with a cup of tea and something sweet), I usually…
Chocolate Molton Cakes
You all know that I don’t really do the whole Throwback Thursday thing, but I’m throwing it back to this weekend when I whipped up some amazing chocolate molten lava cakes. Chocolate cake + molten center = a happy Grad School Foodie And this recipe by Emeril Lagasse is super simple to whip up!
Baked Eggs with Kale
You know that I love kale. You also know that I love baked eggs. So it makes perfect sense that at some point I would stick both of them together. That point was Sunday night after I got home from the airport… I was hungry, cranky, and had absolutely nothing in the fridge except eggs,…
Oatmeal Craisin Cookies
Happy Snow Day, everyone! I hope that everyone is safe and warm at home, curled up with some TV, a good book, or a big cup of hot chocolate. This snow day reminds me of grad school, where waking up to thick blankets of snow was a common occurrence. And nothing makes me want to…
