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

Plant-Based Cooking: No Tuna Tuna
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
Hug a Tree
When I was a youngin' my Dad used to take my brother and I on hikes through the trails and forests of Washington state. Every time we'd embark for the great outdoors, he'd tell us upon arrival, "Remember, if you get lost, hug a tree." Fortunately, I never had to take that advice, like a … Continue reading Hug a Tree
Plant-Based Cooking: Asparagus Risotto
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

Plant-Based Cooking: Avocado Toast
A couple of years ago, I was shocked to find out that my cholesterol was 213. Any cholesterol level over 200 is considered unhealthy, and puts the body at risk for circulatory and heart diseases. Part of the culprit was my genetics... nothing I could do about that. Besides inheriting my lovely skin and hair … Continue reading Plant-Based Cooking: Avocado Toast
Grass and Happiness
These days, when I wake up in the morning and want to make myself happy, I open my curtain. Outside, in my backyard, are thousands of tiny, brand-new vibrant green blades of grass. I get excited to see more and more of them with each passing day. Wow, sounds, thrilling, doesn't it? I have been … Continue reading Grass and Happiness
Diversify Your Post-folio
When I was a kid, I used to have to walk seven miles, uphill, in the snow to school. Both ways! Naw, I didn't. But what I did do was write and send letters. I also called people on my see-through land line phone. If anyone made a big - and I mean *big* announcement- … Continue reading Diversify Your Post-folio
Your Gift
What is your gift? Or what are your gifts? No, I am not the royal family asking you to bestow a gift upon the feet of baby Prince George of England- but I am asking, what is your unique gift that you embody and can give to the world? For some of us out there, … Continue reading Your Gift
Shui What?
So I want to apologize if many of my posts in the near-ish past have been weightier than usual. I'm going through some transformative times, and obviously, you all are along for the ride. I'm bringing this up because I didn't realize the gravity of my writing until I heard a couple of pieces of … Continue reading Shui What?
