New York Pizza in a D.C. Kitchen

February 18, 2010

A few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I decided to make pizza. If there’s one thing I love, it’s pizza! Especially homemade pizza with all my favorite toppings.

One of my favorite indulgences is a beautiful pot pie. I only make one several times a year, but it is just a quintessential winter dish. It’s warm, comforting and perfect for a cold night. Since I am now a vegetarian, I needed to bulk up this pot pie with lots of [...]

Collards- from the farm to the table

December 10, 2009

Collards are classic southern fare, but it seems these days most people only eat them when dining out at Cracker Barrel or other kitch-filled southern restos. You never really see them on classic american menus or even on buffets. They are hardly represented at holiday meals, yet they are one of the best, most nutrient [...]

November 25, 2009

Vegetable soup is perhaps the ultimate comfort food. It’s also a perfect way to get a ton of veggies in one bowl. My boyfriend’s mom made this soup for us several months back using all fresh vegetables from her garden. I wanted to replicate the soup at home, but since we don’t have a big [...]

Simple Sustenance- Veggie “Pho”

November 18, 2009

Ok, technically, this is not Pho. Pho is a traditional Vietnamese soup, generally a beef based broth with strips of meat. For this recipe, I wanted to make it vegetarian-friendly. But, I definitely did not want to lose all the fabulous flavor because that is what makes the soup unique.
I added broccoli, [...]

I love sweet potatoes!

November 3, 2009

Sweet potatoes are a favorite of mine. I love to pair them with meals because they are sweet, wholesome, and filling! However, until recently, I haven’t been utilizing them as much as I should have! I am now officially obsessed. I like to pack them for lunches and for a quick [...]

Oven Roasted Turnip Fries

November 3, 2009

Turnips are my latest veggie addiction and I predict that turnips will replace kale as the “it” food this winter. In other words, turnips are the new kale. For those of you who are unfamiliar with turnips, they are root vegetables that closely resemble beets. Their skins are typically white and purple and they are [...]
