Covid(-19) Diaries: Simple Stir Fry Sauce
An easy stir fry sauce that you can probably make right now: 3 tbsp. soy sauce 1 tbsp. cornstarch 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 tsp. powdered ginger (optional, but tastier) Add this to the pot after you’ve cooked all the meat/veg. Stir the sauce through. Let it cook a bit on lower heat until it’s…
Cuban-inspired Beans & Rice
This is a fast, easy recipe for those nights when you want something healthy and light, but satisfying. I’ve also added meat to mine, on the nights when I really do need to eat more protein (and accepting it’s a little less healthy this way.) You can easily make it with or without the polish…

Use Your Oven: Veg & Herbs

What is a Pumpernickel Bagel, Anyway?
Such an odd word, “pumpernickel.” As a kid, I wouldn’t eat it because the word was a bit intimidating and I wasn’t sure what I’d be eating. Turns out, it’s just a weird “fart word” for dark rye bread. And for non-U.S. audiences, bagels are a type of bread roll of unconfirmed origin and strongly…
Farfalle & Tomatoes
My favorite, simple dinner is fast and easy to make. The key is having a good oil (I prefer Colavita) and fresh ingredients – even better if you have fresh pasta, too, but that’s not necessary. Ingredients: 1-pound box Farfalle (or penne if you prefer – any pasta will work, honestly) 4-5 fresh Roma or…
Cashew nut “ricotta”
I love cheese. Really. I do. I. Love. Cheese. I never realized how much of it I ate, either, until I finally figured out that I actually am allergic to dairy, and gave it up. So, while my sinuses are forever grateful, my nose can properly function again and my skin is generally relieved, my…
