Fresh Corn Slaw.
Hello avocado. You’re just like nature’s butter. Green, luscious, and from a tree. You’re perfect as is, maybe with a little lime juice, salt and chili pepper, but you know what else? You’re also perfect shaped to be a little nature bowl. It’s spring, or at least, I’ve decided that it’s spring and it’s here [...]

Egg and Bacon McBiscuit

Click here [...]

Quinoa Cakes.
Sorry for the absence, I’ve been away. Not anywhere warm and sunny, with big beaches and blue waters. No, no. Nowhere like that. That would be negligent and oh-too-cliché for a spring break. Who would want to go tan, lounge around, and nap whenever, wherever? Sounds awful. Regardless of where, vacation is a time to [...]

Sopa Azteca.
Blargh. Blergh. Nothing gets you down like a cold on a 60-degree day. Thankfully, I have about eight million gallons of soup in my freezer, that old-school, 100-percent fail proof cold cure. But since there isn’t a soup in the world quite as effective at cold-busting than a bowl of sopa azteca, or my bastardized [...]

Puy Lentil Galettes.
It’s that time again, finals. Or at least, it’s the week before finals, which inevitably is busier than finals week itself. Spring break is two weeks away, and save for a confused bit of snow, Evanston is pretending that it’s spring already. Just in time for a couple days spent studying, reading, and writing away. [...]

Hello soup. Yea, you in the bowl, I’ve got a question…how did you get to be so wonderful? You’re hot, flavorful, and everything good about a meal, distilled into one perfect bowl of sustenance. Yea, you’re pretty great. I’ll admit—although I generally love to live in seasonal denial—that it is currently winter in Chicago. My [...]

Spicy Cauliflower Soup.
“Soup tastes like dirty water. (So does tea.)” For some, soup is a paltry imitation of a real dish. Much like how chicken and turkey are a lesser form of protein than beef, pork, lamb, and fish in my eyes. To be fair, those who think soup is simply a waste of a bowl of [...]

Salsa Rosa.
There is very little better in this world than a taco. The tortilla, the filling, the extras, the practically requisite pool of grease—a taco is one of the culinary realm’s greatest (savory) inventions. Think of the last taco you consumed. Even if it was a relatively low-end taco, (looking at you Flash Taco), the kind [...]

Bacon Cheddar Biscuits.
There is always a moment of guilt when, standing in the kitchen, you’re faced with the option of adding bacon. Bacon to breakfast, bacon to that turkey club, bacon to the mashed potatoes, bacon to the salad…bacon, in its salty crispness, plays extremely well with others. Which means, sometimes the only thing keeping bacon off [...]
