I’m tired of waiting for fall, so I’m kicking it off early with some pumpkin coffee cake. Because to me, nothing says fall like a good cup of coffee on a crisp fall morning and a delicious slice of pumpkin bread. This pumpkin bread isn’t super sweet, which I personally like in the mornings. But …
Gochujang is a spicy paste that’s a staple in Korean cooking. It’s a savory, slightly sweet, spicy fermented condiment. You can pick it up at your local Asian grocery store, in the Asian food section of your grocery store, or Trader Joe’s seasonally carries it. Today I’m using it to make a sticky sauce for …
Meat eaters and plant based friends unite! This lentil bolognese is hearty, layered with flavor, and an easy one pot meal. Serve it with your favorite pasta. To make this recipe vegan – omit the parmesan for your favorite plant based cheese or nutritional yeast.

A superb side dish or appetizer to serve for a crowd! These mini peppers are charred to perfection on the grill and topped with a delicious vinaigrette. Serve with a side of crusty toasty bread and your favorite mild cheese like fresh mozzarella, burrata, or even ricotta.
Basically a version of bacon, onion, and cheese pasta that feels fancy but is still super easy to whip together! Leeks are mild onion varieties, almost like something in between a green onion, a yellow onion, and a shallot. Pancetta is kind of like an Italian bacon, but I really like it because I buy …
This is my latest breakfast obsession, coconut chia seed pudding. My friend ordered this in a little coffee shop in Santa Monica and as soon as I had a bite I knew I needed to try and recreate it! Luckily it’s super easy to make. Just add all your ingredients together and mix, let chill …
