I’m sure we all have things we dislike. But let me you on a secret: I have an unusual aversion to anything that is red or pink. I’m not talking about roses (because I think they are gorgeous), red heels, accessories (I own a red backpack). I’m talking about food. Maybe its the vibrancy of the…

Vegan Tofu Feta Cheese (GF, Nut-Free, Oil-Free)
If someone told me last year that you could make cheese at home think I would have laughed. And if someone told me you could make cheese out of nuts I would’ve thought it was a joke. And now here I am making homemade cheese and not just out of nuts but TOFU. I definitely did not see this…

Oyakodon Japanese Chicken and Egg (GF, Oil-Free)
My stomach was grumbling and growling as I stepped out of the crowded elevator . I looked down with slight embarrassment, hoping no one else recognized the hungry culprit. Good thing it was lunch time. Any second longer I think I’d die of hunger. I gave the waiter the name, and he guided us rather…

“What do you want to do when you grow up?” “Wedding planner (without hesitation)…I just absolutely love weddings!” I love, love, love the feeling of dressing up, and watching the daddy and daughter dances, not to mention the wedding videos. All throughout the day the feeling of romance and love drifting in the air, so evidently bringing optimism…
Thai Koftas and Vegan Red Curry Tzatziki (Paleo, GF, Oil-Free, Nut Free)
Oh my gosh. Sometimes I feel like I eat the same thing every single day of the week. Do you also feel just as exasperated and dejected when you open the fridge and there is nothing – ABSOLUTELY nothing you want to eat? “I see cucumber, kimchi, soy sauce, few sprigs of cilantro…” “Anything else?”…
Vegan Japchae (EASY VERSION)
Sky diving. Cliff Jumping. Jet skiing. Tubing. All these things were foreign words to me growing up. I always associated these rather “adventurous” sports things that only professionals on TV would do. You would never EVER see me volunteering to go on a 3-day camp out in the boonies or hiking up steep mountains during my free…
