My family loves Mexican-inspired food. Growing up we had it at least once a week. Tacos were a long time favorite in my house -- my mom would do some variation of tortillas, beans, cheese, and veggies. When I tell people this most are like, oh cool, and some are just aghast, asking how I could … Continue reading Avocado-Cilantro Crema

Buckwheat and Quinoa Salad: Lunch for Days!
A little while back I went with my friend Tanya to a Russian food store and she pointed out whole buckwheat to me. A long time favorite of my mom for it's gluten-free nature (contrary to its name), I've used buckwheat flour, but never the actual pseudocereal itself. So I figured why not and bought it. … Continue reading Buckwheat and Quinoa Salad: Lunch for Days!

GF Cucumber Canape
My goal: increase the number of posts I churn out. I love to write, good or bad, I love to write...which any of my friends from college who knew me first year (looking at you Sam and Liz) will laugh at.

Dill Butter and Salad Dressing
It's been a while blog, it's been a while. Apparently medical school is just as time-consuming as everybody made it out to be--shocker! Well, I was a little. I was surprised by how quickly the day goes by, how I will how generally choose studying over everything else, and how quickly time moves. It's amazing...I've … Continue reading Dill Butter and Salad Dressing

Quick Dinner Idea: Cheese and Bread Edition
So Tyler and I don't really go out to eat much, both to save money and to eat healthfully. But most days, neither of us have the time or energy to prepare an elaborate meal...hence this post! A quick dinner, made while we were both sick and feeling like crap. It didn't take a lot … Continue reading Quick Dinner Idea: Cheese and Bread Edition
Green Eggs
Let me tell you about my allergies. I have never really had them before. In Arizona, allergies aren't crazy because it's too hot, and in Boston...well, I don't know why I didn't have bad allergies in Boston. But good heavens, in San Antonio...it's a whole new world! I didn't have allergies last year, but then … Continue reading Green Eggs
