I was complaining to a friend this week about how all the vegetarian recipes I’ve made recently taste people who are diets trying to pretend they’ve made something good. Christy was surprised to hear this because she’s started cooking vegan this year and has had some really delicious recipes. Me: please share your secrets with me!…

Butternut squash bread
My mother makes this and it’s one of my favorites of all sweet breads. It’s very moist (almost like bread pudding) and not-too sweet. My mom tells me she adapted a banana bread recipe with butternut squash and used less sugar. I pretend it’s healthy.
Eva’s stone bread recipe
I’m over the moon right now. I decided to celebrate my last day of winter break by making the ‘stone cakes’ recipe that Eva gave me on my last weekend in Zürich (it’s translated ‘cake,’ but it’s more bread-like). It has to be one of my favorite breads ever, but, to be fair, I rarely come across…
Vegetable soup to combat the cold
Over winter break I was catching up with family and they were asking me about Pittsburgh and my general life. I told them I rarely go out and usually just bring a lunch & dinner to studio (since I’m usually there for 12 hours). So what do you make? I reflect on my semester and the meals…
Something sweet: Country apple dumplings
Terribly-easy-but-fancy looking recipe. Not particularly healthy (not at all), but I have reduced the sugar a lot from the AllRecipes original and thought it was still sinfully delicious. It’s one of the most popular recipes on the whole website. Give it a try with these simple alterations:
Fluffy french toast
Salmon & snow pea lo mein
I’ve been cooking a lot more since being in school. It’s nice! This recipe was originally for shrimp, but the salmon was on salmon was on sale so I subbed it in. Still good! It probably just depends on which you like better. Salmon (or shrimp!) Lo Mein with Snow Peas (Adapted from RealSimple) 8 ounces lo…
Vegan & Oil Free Pancakes
I don’t know if you remember, but a while ago Matt made these pancakes and I’ve been making them ever sense. Although yum-tastic, regular pancakes always give me stomach ache, and it’s so easy to make pancakes all the time if you don’t need eggs. Vegan Pancakes 1 cup flour 1 tbl sugar 2 tbl…
Tofu + Broccoli + Mushroom stir fry
I hardly ever cooked in New York—small kitchen, was barely home, etc, etc. Trying to shake off the dust and after a few wonky recipes I think I have one that you might want to put in your mouth! Really, even if you’re a new cook, it’s going to be ok. I hope my directions…
Smoked Salmon & Eggs
a carbohydrate of your choice with a schmeer of butter + smoked salmon (a little goes a long way, it has a strong flavor) + hardboiled egg + salt & pepper
