Why Eat Meatless + Vegetarian Curry
I do not claim to be a full-blooded vegetarian. But Cobalt and I do eat a lot of meatless meals for the following reasons: Omitting meat is more affordable. Vegetables and fruits have the best balance of nutrients a human needs: carbs, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and fiber. The right combination of vegetables and fruits […]
Winter in LA + Chili Time!
Three years in — four if you’re counting this one — and I’m still not used to these Los Angeles winters. I just took an hour walk in sunny 70-degree weather whilst wearing shorts and a 3/4 sleeve t-shirt. Sitting at my desk, having just returned to my apartment, I feel a smidge sweaty and dehydrated.

Eggnog Waffles
I don’t know about you guys but I still have a lot of food leftover from Christmas. All sweets, of course, since it’s been hard to keep up with them. Christmas cookies, candy from stockings, stollen, sparkling grape juice and eggnog. I’ve chucked the cookies and stollen in the freezer for later, I’m slowly but […]

One of my students suggested cookies. At first, I was slightly […]
Vegetable Barley Soup with Turkey Sausage
Happy Thursday! What a great week it has been! My dear sister flew out to visit for the last week. Since she’s never been to Cali before so we spent nearly every day out and about, site-seeing Los Angeles. For the first few days, I showed her all of my favorite beaches: Santa Monica Pier, […]

Valentine’s Day! Cookie Dough Truffles
Happy Valentine’s week! My husband and I don’t plan on doing anything, as usual (I’m biased towards telling him I love him every day, versus once a year ;)) but my high school friend from Tennessee is in town! We’ve been hitting a lot of great spots in Los Angeles that Cobalt and I haven’t […]
