Pre-Shopping Day Vegan Pasta Primavera
What do you do when you need to make something quick, easy and nutritious to make for dinner with a fridge full of leftover ingredients? I had no clue but my husband and I have been taking inspiration from the Netflix show, Midnight Diner. It’s a Japanese vignette show centered on a diner where people…

Crunchy Asian Kitchen Sink Salad
A big part of my weight loss journey was figuring out food. Not just calories and portion sizes, but putting it all together in a way that would satisfy my appetite and my calorie deficit. This took some time. Year One as a vegan and basically all I did was remove all animal products from my…

Beyond Animal Fries!!!
Happy 2020!! Things have been crazy around here with editing my book, sending it out to beta readers and all of that, so I’ve been neglecting The Spicy Spatula terribly.

The city of Chicago is my hometown and I love it…a lot. I miss it too but not in the normal way you think about missing a location. Of course I have fond memories of Shedd Aquarium or Adler Planetarium, not to mention the House of Blues and Museum of Natural History, but in addition…

Spicy Tofu & Red Quinoa Bowl
Been busy finishing up my latest book but I wanted to share another Buddha Bowl with you. The thing I love most about them, aside from all the healthy stuff, is that you get a little bit of a variety of foods. After a tough workout or just because I’m feeling really hungry, I crave them.…
