Haystack onion quinoa bowl

We hungry people love our bowls of food. Grain bowls, for instance. In recent years, grain bowls have become the favorite lunch of white people with disposable incomes. Belonging to the first half of that demographic, I also enjoy bowls of grain but do not enjoy the arm and leg required to pay for said bowl of grain. So…

Veggie spring rolls

There never seem to be enough spring rolls. Like at Chinese restaurants, all I want is a thousand spring rolls. I don’t want any of that sticky chicken or any vegetables drowned in brown sauce. I don’t need fortune cookies or the complimentary rice they throw in. All I need is an endless supply of spring rolls. I…

The vegetarian’s breakfast burrito

You know how there are races that somehow involve eating? I am certain such a thing as doughnut racing exists. Along the same lines, I have witnessed both beer and chocolate milk miles (not pretty sights). Not that the world needs more food/racing combos, but a burrito race would be a logical addition. Burritos are so convenient and…

Eggplant sliders with roasted red pepper sauce

Eggplant kind of creeps me out. First of all, what kind of a name is eggplant? Did someone name it that as a joke and it just stuck? Was someone trying to make it sound unappealing?

Oh man, oh man. Do I have a treat for you guys today! So yeah I agree, the title, “Sesame almond and peach sundae” does sound amazing. However, there’s even more to this glorious creation than the title suggests. The full title would read: Sesame almond brittle sundae with ginger snaps, peach topping, and coconut whipped cream. But…

Peanut butter lover’s trail mix

Sometimes, all that is necessary in life is peanut butter. It has magical properties if you think about it (don’t think about it too hard, though). Hear me out: That jar of in your pantry is so much more than just ground up peanuts. Spread it on bread, you have a nostalgia-filled sandwich that will take you back…

Uber caprese paninis

I’m thinking of opening a gallery of sorts. It will be titled: Humankind’s Greatest Combinations. Here’s a brief list of subjects either photographs of paintings will capture: Grilled cheese and tomato soup Long runs and Slurpees Dogs and humans Snacks and finish lines Those cinnamon sugar doughnuts from apple orchards and cider Naps and Saturday afternoons Dirt roads and…

Barbecue falafel pita pockets

So first of all, even though this dish has the word “falafel” in it, don’t expect any of the typical flavors of a traditional falafel. I just don’t want to be a source of crushing disappointment for you, that’s all. You know what is disappointing though? Mysterious running injuries. I’ve been hobbling through simply pathetic 4-mile runs lately, it’s…
