Whelp, here we are, fellow humans. Hi again. I never thought I’d reboot this blog under the auspices of a, er…global pandemic. It’s a new decade, I’m hitting 30 this year, and the world as we know it is a dumpster fire of absurd proportions. A sea of malodorous, soul-withering flames to be exact. I’ve…

The Potato Chip Sandwich
That’s right. You [subvocally] heard me. The. Potato. Chip. Sandwich. You know you’re a vegetarian / vegan when you’re at a BBQ and all you can eat are potato chips and burger buns. At least at BBQs in the 90s, when Boca Burgers were the only meatless alternative and a rare and gag-inducing sight. I absolutely…
Vidalia Onion & Pecan Jam
Oh my stars, spring has sprung: it’s Vidalia onion season here in Georgia! As a native Georgian, the unusually sweet Vidalia onion occupies a special place in my heart and stomach (from April-September at least, when they’re in season). I celebrate the magnificent onion year round, though. It is the foundation* of most dishes, the…
The Big Bad Breakfast Cookie
Behold: a fantasy among children and adults alike; a timesaver for those who are not morning people (*raises hand*); a miracle of miracles; a breakfast that is dessert. No, it’s not your beloved Cookie Crisp, but it is the taste and look of cookies for breakfast! Minus Chip the dog (Cookie Crisp’s questionably brain-damaged mascot), 40…
New Year, New You Dinner Bowl
New year, new you? New year, new foods! For all of you go-getters clamoring to invest in a $1000 juice cleanse and “detox*” from the barrels of alcohol and bricks of sugar you consumed in the latter part of 2017: have I got the plan for you. It’ll regulate your digestion and get rid of…
Jalapeño Creamed Cornbread
In my day (the mid-to-late 90s), Thanksgiving for vegetarians meant a big ol’ plate of salty, grease-laden carbohydrates. My sister and I were thankful for one thing and one thing only on Thanksgiving: we could pile as much starch on our plates as we wanted, without so much as a side eye from the boss (aka…
Tatchos with The BEST Vegan Queso
If ever there were a dish of true (food) pornographic proportions, Tatchos are it. If you’re asking what the hell tatchos are, hold on to the germ-ridden seat of your pants, kiddos: these are nachos with tater tots in place of tortilla chips. Nachos à la Napoleon Dynamite, if you will. These tots are topped with tex-mex style chorizo, rich and spicy queso, and an herby avocado sauce. If this doesn’t sound appetizing, you’re a freakin’ idiot.
Coconut Broth + 2 Noodle Soups
Nothing says summer like a piping hot bowl of brothy noodle soup, am I right? Clearly I can’t do in-season foods. Happy July, y’all.
That Purple Stuff Smoothie
Whether you’re fighting allergies or something else right now, you’ll want this purple stuff smoothie on hand when you need to perk up and do things like live your life and breath oxygen.
