Does anyone else gravitate toward warm colors in the summer? Actually, I kind of gravitate toward warm colors all year round. Anyway, this recipe is another beet root hummus. I’m SORRY! I am who I am, and I love pretty hummus. In this recipe, I sauté the beets so they are a bit softer before… Continue reading Red and Yellow Beet Root Hummus
Do you ever go to the store with a strict grocery list and end up buying a bunch of beets that were not on said list just because they looked gorgeous? Yeah, me too. I’ll be doing a few recipes to slowly work through my beet collection in my fridge, and this is one of… Continue reading Summer Beet Red Sauce
Confession time. I started this recipe out attempting to make bagels. I live in a fairly dry climate, so I am accustomed to using wet doughs, which always create wonderful breads. However, I knew when I turned out this dough that it would not last the water bath required for bagels to get their signature… Continue reading Everything Burger Buns
This recipe is dedicated to the wonderful hibiscus-infused honey I got from a local festival in my hometown this summer. If y’all have the opportunity, support local farms and buy local, fresh honey. This recipe was also born out of the need to get rid of old bananas, so if you have some overripe bananas… Continue reading Hibiscus Honey Almond Cookies

This is probably due to my lack of culinary exploration and not because I am the first person to think of this. As someone who adores both salads and recognizes… Continue reading Chickpea, Tuna, & Tahini Salad
Pancakes were a wonderful weekend special occasion growing up. If I went to the kitchen and the griddle was heating up, I knew I was in for my favorite breakfast. In my late teens and early twenties, when I was overly health-conscious and incredibly restrictive, I gave up pancakes, deeming them too unhealthy for me.… Continue reading Flax Pancakes with Berry Preserves
Ok. You may be looking at this recipe and thinking, this looks like pork dumplings without the wrappers. You, my friend, would be correct. I created this filling, was ready to make dumplings, and learned that my wrappers had gone sour in the fridge. So, in a state of simultaneous dejection and determination to not… Continue reading Garlic Ginger Pork Meatballs
“The achievement of self-authorship and personal authority should be heralded as a central purpose of higher education” (King & Baxter-Magolda, 1996, p. 166). Introduction Y’all are probably wondering what in the pedagogical I am talking about with this post title. “I thought this was a food blog…I was told there would be recipes.” Don’t worry.… Continue reading How to Construct a Grain Bowl: My Pedagogical Approach
This dish is wonderful for the transition from winter to spring. It is nutrient-dense, hearty, and relatively easy to prepare. The flavors take inspiration from Thai curries, but I am not experienced or knowledgeable enough about Thai food to claim this curry as Thai. This curry is definitely catered to my own palette, and all… Continue reading Chicken Meatballs in Curry Simmer Sauce
