Hi! I missed you! And because I missed you so much, I want to share my newest recipe obsession – these AH-mazing Gigantes… AKA Greek Giant Beans. They are these awesome giant beans that are boiled until tender and then stewed in a homemade tomato sauce, turning into a glorious casserole of heartiness that is a…
Vegan Apple Upside-Down Cake
We are officially done with the first week of Lent. And I think we need to celebrate with cake. Vegan Apple Upside-Down Cake! As much as I am obsessed with our chocolate Wacky Cake we make during Lent each year, I wanted to make another type of vegan cake. Because life is about options, right?…
Grilled Veggie and Hummus Wraps
I love summer because that means I call eat all my absolutely favorite foods. Ice cream. Watermelon. Grilled Chicken. S’mores. Fresh Cherries. Fresh Peaches. Caprese Salad. And…. GRILLED VEGGIES. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, grilled veggies are my jam. There is something that happens when you grill veggies. They become super sweet and delicious with a…
Tex-Mex Bowls with Lime Cauliflower Rice
We are officially halfway through Holy Week (!!), which means that we only have 4 more vegan dinners left for Vegetarianism 4.0. (seriously, guys, why is this year flying?!) As much as I love our old supper standbys, I wanted something different to mark these last few days of my Lenten journey. When I need…
Wacky Cake

Okay, good!). My internal dialogue usually goes like…
Grilled Eggplant
Hey, everyone! How are you? Are you loving summer as much as I am right now? This summer has been glorious food-wise and I have been taking HUGE advantage of the town’s farmer’s market each weekend. It not only serves as a good study break (T-minus 3 weeks until the big RD exam!), but also a…
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…
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…
