Cajun Red Beans and Rice is one of my favorite comfort foods. It is an inexpensive and easy soul-satisfying meal. People have been using beans and rice for decades to feed their families on a budget. With the vegan version of this dish, it is even less expensive to make. A pound of most dried […]
We’ll see you in 2019! 2018 was a year full of changes and discoveries. My cat Trinity and I packed up, left Long Beach, CA, to relocate to our new lives in Dayton, OH. Despite living here for eight months at this point, Ohio still does not feel like home. Nonetheless, I continue to settle […]
One could say Vegan Peach Cobbler muffins came to be as a result of my move. Within months of moving to Dayton, OH, I was introduced to the Peach Truck. If you are unfamiliar with the Peach Truck, first let me say I am sorry (unless you are from CA, since we have our own […]
This Sweet Potato and Lentil soup was surprisingly delicious to me. I am not a big sweet potato fan. My feelings for them are quite ambivalent. Nonetheless, I settled upon this recipe since I was not making the dish for myself.Since moving in with a vegan, the Minimalist Baker has been my top source for […]

Up next is my Duo of Dips: Guacamole! My apologies for the delay! This blog does revolve around mental health, and mine was not up to par. However, I am getting a break from my depression symptoms. Therefore it is a perfect time to get caught up on some blog posts! If somehow, you missed […]
Together with guacamole, they are toppings for my Chicken Nachos recipe which will be posted soon. Pico de Gallo, a super simple dip made from fresh tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, and lime juice. When trying to turn my process into a recipe I realized, while it is very easy to make it, it is […]
Biscuit Exploration For a while, I was on a biscuit-making kick. On top of buttermilk biscuits, I made various drop biscuits – including the copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay, cheddar cheese biscuits, bacon biscuits, cinnamon sugar biscuits, and cream cheese and chives. It took me a while to get the hand of making this fluffy, warm quick bread, […]
Inspired by Mexican Frijoles Charros and traditional Baked Beans, my Slow Cooker Cowboy Beans (almost sometimes called Ranchero Beans) have smokey and rich in flavor. However, these beans are not as sweet as Baked Beans but have all the spice of Chili Beans. They make a fantastic stand-alone meal or pair them with protein of […]

While my symptoms would vary in intensity over the years, things came to a head for me in 2015. The things […]
