Simple vegetable curry

This recipe is the result of wanting a very comforting meal without almost any hassle and definitely without having to dirty more than one pot. The result was just that, and was even better when I reheated it for lunch the following day.

Vegan gingerbread cheesecake bites

I’m a huge fan of cheesecake (the actual, regular kind), but I’d always been curious about vegan cheesecake. I made these little bites for a party, so not only was it a nice, guilt-free item among the less healthy options, but it was something that my friend with a gluten allergy could enjoy as well. As you can see, I also made a pan without the gingerbread spices, but topped with pomegranate arils.

Pumpkin, apple and coconut soup

This soup was created during the yoga teacher training I took — making it a result of being generally worn out, hungry and at a loss for a wide variety of ingredients. That result is a simple, amazing meal that pairs wonderfully with a salad and cornbread.

Blackberry-basil coconut pops

This may be one of my best recipes of the year. Even Joel, who is terrified of popsicles because of tooth sensitivity, tried one and agreed that it was fantastic. Basil-mint syrup is the secret to what makes these so spectacular, and straining out the seeds before freezing means you won’t have to whittle your popsicle stick into toothpicks.

Curried corn and coconut soup

This is my new go-to summer soup. Joel requests that I make it whenever we see corn on sale.

Blushing rose

This may be the girliest recipe I’ve ever come up with. Really tasty and fragrant — but I’m pretty sure if you’re drinking this, you’re either getting pedicures, gallivanting in Paris, or getting married.

These meatballs were super tender and juicy, and the sauce was to die for. I served mine on a bed of big basil leaves. Overkill, perhaps. But I'm in summer withdrawal.

I've been all about dishes that liven up cold-weather staples lately. Cilantro and lime add lots of brightness and color to a soup that has lots of warm flavors, a nice combination.

    This meal was one-half what I was craving at the moment and one-half what I happened to have in the fridge. Is that the best way to cook or what? If the full recipe doesn't tickle your fancy, at least bookmark the sauce recipe --- I was loading more sauce into my wrap as I ate. Attractive, yes?

This meal was one-half what I was craving at the moment and one-half what I happened to have in the fridge. Is that the best way to cook or what? If the full recipe doesn’t tickle your fancy, at least bookmark the sauce recipe. It would be great for lettuce wraps, chicken salads or slopping up with leftover tofu like a pig (guiltyyyy).

Thai coconut-cashew rice with bits of roasted pineapple

My family spent a couple of weeks in Thailand visiting my aunt and uncle when I was a freshman in high school, and since then that time has come to be known as The Trip of a Lifetime. I think Grandma may have even used that as the title of her photo journal of the trip. Point is: I’ve never been on a vacation like that one. We rode on more than 10 forms of transportation (airplane, speedboat, tuk-tuk, elephant … ); watched the sunrise from a small, remote island; toured temples of gold, emerald and broken china; and we ate some amazing food. Most notable, perhaps, was the availability of fresh fruit in Thailand. I drank a fruit smoothie with almost every meal, and we’d stop at roadside food vendors for small plastic bags of fresh pineapple or melon on long skewers. One of my favorite Thai dinners was a rice dish that included cashews, vegetables and sometimes chicken. It was simple, filling and not at all spicy, which was important at the time. When I prepare this dish, I’m reminded of some of my favorite food memories of Thailand.
