Mung Bean Dal
I know, I know. I just said three words that probably confused you. But trust me, this is good. Mung beans are used everywhere in Vietnamese cuisine – from sweet soups, to rice, to its paste being used in clear noodles. They’re in the dried goods section of the market, and can come green (whole) … Continue reading
Soft Tofu Sushi Bowl
I’ve been craving sushi rice lately – that vinegary, slightly sweet flavor you get when you bite into some nigiri sushi, for example. I figured, how good would it be to make a vegetarian sushi rice bowl, complete with seaweed salad, pickled ginger, and brown rice, with the salad spiked with rice brown vinegar? Pretty … Continue reading
Thanksgiving Day
This Thanksgiving means a lot to me. It’s different this year, not being surrounded by a big family, but we’re making the holiday special by really reflecting on what we’re thankful for. We’re basically getting to the essence of the day. That’s what it is, isn’t it? We’re thankful we can spend the day together, … Continue reading
Acorn Squash Curry
Another vegetarian dish! I love acorn squash and I love curry, so why not combine the two? I made this simple dish for one of our vegetarian nights, but feel free to add some shrimp or chicken breast to it if you like. It would also be delicious. Don’t worry if the acorn squash falls … Continue reading

Marilee is The … Continue reading
Coconut-Curried Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato Soup

I remember this soup to be smoky and creamy from the pureed sweet potato and butternut squash. … Continue reading
Pumpkin Milkshakes + Homemade Pumpkin Puree
Inspired by Monica’s guest post on Pumpkin Palette Pleasers, I set out to make a few new dishes with pumpkin as the main feature. Seeking convenience over making it from scratch, I became a little miffed that two out of two grocery stores I visited ran out of pumpkin puree (there was “pumpkin pie filling,” … Continue reading
Caramelized Wild Salmon with Veggies & Brown Rice
Love salmon? I think this recipe will just about do it for ya. I usually bake salmon in the oven, fillet-style, but this time wanted to try something different that could be served atop some brown rice and simple veggies. Caramelized Wild Salmon with Veggies and Brown Rice serves 2-3 2/3 lb wild salmon fillet, … Continue reading
Mexican-Style Roasted Corn
The other day, P and I were on a search for real tacos – not the kind that are slathered in cheese, but street tacos that we loved in California, dressed only with spicy salsa and pico de gallo. We ventured into a grocery store that sold a lot of Hispanic foods, but much to … Continue reading
