Tweet I’ve been MIA from my blog. Problem is, there are too many social media outlets. It’s redundant to post anything here, for the two people who read this (Hi, Mom). I’ve been sewing a lot. I’ve been actually doing a lot of things a lot. My most favorite is block printing fabric. It’s easy [...]

Tweet I have a lot of clothes. A lot of clothes I don’t wear, that is. I’m not sure why I haven’t thrown away most of them over the years. But I’m glad I didn’t because I’m just now seeing their potential! 30 pairs of jeans in my closet that are too big, too short, [...]

Tweet I am a Mexican food FREAK. I’d say realistically, about 60% of everything I eat has chili powder and cumin (and cayenne if I don’t feel like feeding my child that day). I spent a good bit of time last weekend making corn tortillas, my Mexican aunt’s authentic enchilada sauce and slow-cooked beans for [...]

Tweet I got a head of cabbage in my CSA box the other week, and began scouring the internet for recipes. I had no idea what to do with it. I came across the following recipe, thought it sounded a little boring… but made it anyway. It was excellent! My 4 year old even ate [...]

Tweet Make this with my previous aloo phujia recipe and it’s an amazing easy indian-inspired vegan dinner that makes even better leftovers. Coconut milk is very fatty, I’ve tried the lite coconut milk and it’s just as good. I even subbed half almond milk when I was low on coconut milk, still good but not [...]

Tweet This is my favorite recipe to make right now, I make it once a week along with coconut curry beans (recipe coming soon – also vegan). It’s SO GOOD. I usually use whatever tomato based item I have… I’ve used fresh tomatoes, canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and even leftover chili. You don’t need [...]

Tweet I found a recipe for these on allrecipes.com today and modified a bit to include yellow squash and mushrooms. My 4 year old ate two of them…and they were pretty big. They’d make a great vegetarian version of chicken parmesan. Mushrooms give it a meaty feel, but use whatever produce you have. I’m glad [...]

Tweet (Chilaquiles con huevos on the right, but that’s a whole other blog post.) I put this on over my lunch break and come home 5 hours later to an amazing smelling house. I prefer making them from scratch because it is a LOT cheaper for the amount it makes. A bag of pintos is [...]

Tweet After spending massive amounts of money at Dunkin Donuts everyday on my medium caramel lattes ($3.17, sometimes twice a day), my beau showed up at my house with an espresso machine – best gift ever. It took about a week or so but as of tonight, I have the process and recipe down. Starbucks [...]

Tweet Somehow I forgot this one even though it’s one of my favorites. Made last October for a cousin’s birthday with my old hunk of junk sewing machine. It would have been a lot easier with my Janome. One of these days I’ll make myself one instead of the broken Target cheapie I am currently [...]
