Thoughts, inspiration, balance… and randomness
I know I haven't been posting recipes as often that I thought I would. Truth be told, I only want to post recipes on here that I actually like. So, although I'm cooking quite a bit for this class, some of the recipes aren't up to my high "palatability" standards. I actually liked this recipe … Continue reading Cauliflower “Steaks” with Olive Pistou
With all the media surrounding sustainable fishing practices and the safety of tuna, it might be a good idea to take a look at alternatives to the Chicken of the Sea. No tuna tuna. It's sounds a bit cray, I realize, but I was actually really surprised at the likeness this recipe had to actual … Continue reading Plant-Based Cooking: No Tuna Tuna
I've decided when I've had a bad day, yoga is my battle weapon of choice. Since I moved to a new part of LA, the choices in yoga are pretty lacking in my neighborhood, so I've turned to cooking instead. And why not? I'm way behind on my plant-based cooking course, so I decided to … Continue reading Plant-Based Cooking: Asparagus Risotto

I remember there being a Sex and the City episode on this (surprise, surprise, they always think of … Continue reading Minus One for the Singles
I know yesterday I wrote about keeping my mind calm and blank, and not adding anything new to the mix. Staying the course, and enjoying the course. And day one into it- I think I have. Except I received a notice in my email today: My Plant-Based Cooking Level 1 course is now ready for … Continue reading What’s Cookin’?
You've probably figured by now that I am going to post about Australia all week- and that would be correct. I'm going to start off easy. Some of the initial observations I had while I was in Australia. Then as the week progresses, I'll get into the internal, meaningful stuff. I'm going to be brutally … Continue reading Aussie ABCs
"What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet..." - Juliet, Romeo and Juliet And by the words of Shakespeare, so too does Thanksgiving, by any other name (or in this case, by any other country) would taste as delicious. Thanksgiving is my favorite … Continue reading Thanksgiving Melayu

My current company is a very recognizable Fortune 500 company, and I have loved my job and time here.
