So last night’s SCL dinner was my 12th week. It was also the last class of the second term (don’t worry, a 3rd term starts next week!). After all this time I figured it was about time I made the ultimate scary vegetarian food: tofu! I’m a big fan of tofu, but don’t make itRead more
I made these enchiladas for Tuesday’s SCL dinner. They’re a great vegetarian option, with a delicious creamy, slightly sweet flavor to the filling. I used mild salsa and enchilada sauce, but I think they’d be great with a spicier sauce since the sweet potato would help soothe the heat. It’s definitely a flexible recipe, soRead more
My sister made these cookies for me when I was in undergrad. Four years later, I found the recipe and finally got around to making them on Tuesday. These are delicious, light, fluffy cookies. They’re also incredibly easy to make. Don’t wait four years to try them. Mexican Wedding Cookies Makes about 30 cookies AdaptedRead more

For Tuesday’s SCL dinner (in addition to the macaroons), we had a nicoise salad. I wanted to do something a little more elaborate since we had a simple ‘Fresh’ Pea Soup to go with it.

I’ve been wanting to make coconut macaroons for ages but for some reason I never got around to it. I think in part because I was skeptical about the seeming simplicity of the recipe. Four ingredients! In a cookie?! Too easy to be super tasty. However, since it’s Passover, I decided to embrace the simplicity.Read more
Tuesday’s dinner for School of Christian Living was a pretty simple affair. I put together one of my all-time favorite meals, taco salad. This is one of my stand-by meals that always tastes delicious. It was also a fun meal to put on for a group as a salad bar so everyone could pick andRead more
My kneading muscles (who knew that was a thing) are out of shape! Monday I spent most of the day making delicious rolls. I think this was the first time I’ve ever made rolls myself, although I’m sure I’ve been around when my grandma or mom made them. It’s definitely not a quick process, butRead more
Ever since my sister went vegetarian 6 or so years ago, I’ve always been on the look out for good substantial main dishes that I could make for her and her boyfriend. This casserole will be my new go-to dish. My friend, Elan, and I had a cooking adventure this weekend and made this casseroleRead more
