HAPPY 2018 EVERYONE! Remember the the shit storm known as 2017? Well, I’m pretty sure some of it trickled over into the new year. 2018 has been testing me. I was in Toronto for 3 weeks over the holidays and flew back to LA on the 4th. US customs was a nightmare and Air Canada… Continue reading Grain Bowls
Bonjourno! It’s been very hot-o in Los Angeles-o so I decided to crank up the heat another notch like an idiot-o! I didn’t have a lot of food at the apartment except some leftovers odds and ends of veg and some pantry items. Lucky for me I had bought arborio rice a few weeks ago… Continue reading Mediterranean Risotto
JULIA YOU CAN’T CALL IT PULLED PORK IF YOU’RE NOT USING PORK. WHY DON’T YOU JUST CALL IT JACKFRUIT AND BBQ SAUCE ON A BUN?! A) Because that sounds weird. B) Because not everyone knows what jackfruit is and it’s important to know you can transform it into something pulled pork-esque. C) I WILL DO… Continue reading Jackfruit Pulled Pork Party
Hello beautiful readers! If you read my last post, you’ll know that I’m kind of on a “cleanse”. If you didn’t, shame on you. I’m the food voice of my generation and you’re totally missing out 😉 I use the term “cleanse” lightly because what I’m on is barely a cleanse. Just cutting out wheat,… Continue reading Best Tofu Tacos
I hate the word cleanse. It makes me think of yoyo diets that make you lose 10 pounds in a week while being a miserable excuse for a human and then gaining it all back when you finally eat real food. I’ve done cleanses in the past. Cabbage soup diet, juice cleanses, that cayenne pepper… Continue reading The Good Cleanse
Oh hello there! I’ve rebranded myself a bit, as you may have noticed. I haven’t blogged in a while because I was getting too lazy to take fancy pics of my food and with all of the hoity-toity food blogs out there I thought, what’s the point? Who wants to “eat with Julia” when they… Continue reading Bargain Black Bean Soup
I DID IT. I made this creepy red wine pasta that’s been sweeping the world wide net! In honor of Trump getting elected, I wanted to make a pasta that reflected the TEARS OF BLOOD I HAVE BEEN CRYING. After an application process that’s taken over 4 years and $$$ I finally got my US… Continue reading RED WINE PASTA
FREAK A LEEK! SNEAK A LEEK! DO YOU SPEAK LEEK? I am very excited about leeks if you couldn’t already tell. I was at my local farmers’ market and saw some beautiful giant leeks. They weren’t so much giant as they were tall. With the long green leaf things these gents were about 4 feel… Continue reading Leek and Potato Soup
I’m melting. You’re melting. Will this heat never end? Unfortunately I can’t tell Mother Nature what to do, but I can help you make delicious soups that will cool you inside and out! I don’t know about you but hot soup on a hot day is very unappealing to me. So is heavy, greasy food.… Continue reading Cold Soup
HELLO WORLD! It’s warm and beautiful and famers’ markets are in full swing, overflowing with beautiful BEETS! I often associate beets with winter because they’re a root vegetable and I like to enjoy a hot bowl of borsht on a cold, frosty day. However, beets are best this time of year. They’re fresh out of… Continue reading Just Beet It
