So this is what we came home to the other day. She knew right away when we walked in that she was in trouble. Her head was down, her tail was just wagging at the tip, and she tried to hide in the stairwell in our entry way. I thought she was just being cute...until … Continue reading Yogurt Pie with Brown Butter Almond Crust (Gluten Free)

Avocado-Cilantro Crema
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.

Vegetarian Meatballs

It's odd to have a definitive answer when someone asks me what residency I am applying into, and to say that I have finished my Sub-I (sub-internship) rotation. There is so much I want to say about third year. It was wonderful … Continue reading Vegetarian Meatballs
Frozen Banana Bites
So third year is over. That happened. I'm taking some time to process, but I'll probably write about it. Let's be real actually, I'm not taking time to process, I'm studying for the Step 2 Boards and shoving my eyeballs into Bob's Burgers. And looking at desserts. Buuut I don't have eggs. Let's ignore that … Continue reading Frozen Banana Bites
