February is just around the corner, and for many, that means the climax of the never-ending football season…the super bowl. However, I am most definitely not one of those people. I may be a fool to admit this, but I don’t care about football. It just doesn’t do it for me. But because Super Bowl Sunday is considered a national holiday in my household, which is pretty much a real life version of “the new girl”, I feel obligated to enjoy something when it comes to this classic American pastime. And, to no one’s surprise, that something is the food. I can definitely get on board for football Sundays when that means yummy bar snacks and fun finger foods. But when I’m in charge, these classic game day dishes need a makeover to meet my two standards, meat-free and wholesome (even if indulgent). And that’s where Jalapeño Popper Macaroni and Cheese comes in. Continue reading “Jalapeño Popper Mac & Cheese” →

Best of Basic: Quick Pizza Dough

In my world, Sundays are usually spent in the kitchen, whether prepping lunches for the week ahead or experimenting with recipes old and new. Surprisingly, we didn’t have anything planned come this past Sunday morning, and due to the physical aftermath of Saturday night’s Christmas party and really wanting to avoid a trip to the grocery store, Matt came up with the idea to make homemade pizza crust topped with only ingredients we already had.

Today marks the first day of Hanukkah 2015, and for the first time ever, I’m really getting into the celebration. I don’t want my long term love, Christmas, to feel abandoned (I will, as always, be giving you plenty of attention). But I can’t deny that I am so excited to fully throw Matt’s Hanukkah festivities into the mix from now on. Continue reading “Yukon Gold Latkes with Cran-Apple Sauce & Scallion Cream” →

Diner Favorite: Portobello Patty Melts

October 23, 2015April 17, 2016by Radiate Food Vibes1 Comment

Oh man, what a busy week it has been. Parents in town visiting me and my sister in NYC and unexpected dramas have kept me from cooking (and blogging). Not that I’m complaining. One of the best parts about mom and dad in town is the food; my mom’s cooking, trying new restaurants, and visiting old favorites too. But now it’s calming down and I can get back in the kitchen. Which brings me to last night’s dinner, a total winner if I do say so myself. These vegetarian-friendly patty melts have most of the elements of a traditional American diner patty melt; griddled rye bread encasing sweet caramelized onions, two kinds of melty cheese, and homemade “secret sauce”. The only difference is that I subbed roasted mushroom caps for the traditional hamburger patty. Such a simple swap and voila, I’m able to enjoy a classic American sandwich while sticking to my meat-free diet. Phenomenal. Continue reading “Diner Favorite: Portobello Patty Melts” →
