How to Eat More Vegetables
Five servings of fruits and vegetables a day is kind of a lot, once you factor in all the servings of whole grain bread and oatmeal and pasta and eggs and cheese and meat (and donuts?) that we are also supposed to eat every day. The pressure is immense!! And unfortunately, a serving of vegetables…
Read MoreHomemade Chicken Noodle Soup
It’s chicken noodle soup with homemade egg noodles! If you’ve never made pasta before, egg noodles are a great place to start. These homemade egg noodles are the easiest pasta I’ve ever made and it’s only my butt-vanity that keeps me from making (and eating) them every damn day. I provided a recipe for the…
Read MoreVegetarian Sopes
Sweet jebus, this is the best vegetarian recipe I’ve ever come up with in my entire life, I think.

Read MoreVegan “Beef” Enchiladas
I didn’t exactly set out to make a vegan beef enchilada recipe, but that’s what I ended up with. I really just wanted to make some kind of vegan enchiladas but as it turns out, the filling made with mushrooms, pecans and beans is very reminiscent of ground beef. Who knew. It even looks convincing!…
Read MoreInstant Pot Chorizo Beans
You can make these beans in an Instant Pot or in a regular pot. I’ve had my Instant Pot for over a year but only in the last couple months have I been using it regularly. I have a hard time learning new technology — yes I realize that it’s super lame to describe an…
