Thug Kitchen: Vegan Tacos

Tacos!!! What is it about tacos?? They are the kind of thing you can eat with one hand, and you can pretty much make them with anything. They are a delicious, self-contained unit that includes all four food groups. And you know what else?? They’re 

How to Make Kefir

How to Make Kefir

So… yeah. I’m all about the probiotics. I’m all fermenting and making my own yogurt, and I love me some miso. I guess it was just a matter of time until I got to Kefir. I don’t know why it took me so long. It’s 

Energy Bites {Vegan, Gluten-Free}

Energy Bites {Vegan, Gluten-Free}

One BIG challenge of being a food blogger is that you are always getting invites to amazing dinners and tastings. I’m not complaining, mind you, but sometimes it’s hard to fit in healthy eating in and around the fried chicken (which I ate last night). 

The Best Brownie Recipe

The Best Brownie Recipe

All three of my regular blog readers will know that I am on a life-long quest for the best recipes. Some of the recipes I’m looking for include: banana bread, chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, waffles and brownies. Hmmm… those are all sweet items.

Christmas Eve Fondue

Christmas Eve Fondue

I’m sure all of you have your own family-centric holiday traditions. Well, one of mine is a Christmas Eve fondue. I do love to fondue… I mean, c’mon, what’s not to like? Lovely, soft pieces of bread, dipped into warm, gooey cheese. You really can’t 

Thug Kitchen: Vegan Caesar Salad

Thug Kitchen: Vegan Caesar Salad

As a blogger, and someone who works in social media, I pay pretty close attention to trends in blogging. One great trend I’ve been happy to see is when food bloggers get cookbook deals. It happened to my friend Liz, and it’s happened to a
