Vegan Dubu Jorim (Spicy Korean Braised Tofu)
The first place my husband and I traveled to (together) was Korea. It was in the peak of the MERS outbreak back in 2015, literally, red alert when we were packing our bags for our flight. I was about to travel with a guy, I’ve only been dating for six months, and he’s…
Vegan Chocolate Strawberry Cookie Cake
Ah, February! The month of love. Quite frankly, this is the least romantic season (of them all). I feel, as if, majority of what Valentine’s Day is mainly marketing. Marketing, in terms, selling overpriced flowers and chocolates to gift a significant other or loved one. Romance, to me, is in the gestures and…
Vegan Pandesal (Filipino Bread Rolls Tangzhong Method)
As a kid, my parents had always made sure that there was fresh bread on the table. While they were not bakers, they’d make every effort to wake up early in the morning, before work, to drive to the nearest bakery and buy a loaf of bread or half a dozen pandesal. I…
Vegan Tofu Bistek Tagalog (Filipino “Beef” Steak)
One of my favorite easy Filipino dishes has got to be Bistek Tagalog. For those, who may not be familiar with the term “bistek” (bee-stek), it really just means beef steak in the English language. Bistek derives from the word “bistec” in Spanish, or thinly sliced beef. As a kid, I was a…
Gollai Hågun Suni (Spinach In Coconut Milk)
Gollai Hågun Suni is a CHamoru dish originally made with taro leaves and coconut milk. Taro leaves are a little harder to find (unless you grow it or know someone) and, growing up, I have always had it with spinach instead. To best describe this dish, it is often eaten as a side…
Vegan Cheddar & Chives Flaky Biscuits
Okay, let’s be real here. I am a sucker for really good flaky buttery biscuits! I don’t know why but there is just something about freshly baked, flaky goodness that make my heart sing. At least, next to breads and other buttery pastries. I love biscuits, in a sense, it is a soul…
VEGAN BUTTER COOKIES
Repeat after me: light & airy cookies. Light and airy, melt in your mouth, vegan butter cookies. Let that sink in and collect yourself. Because, not only are these aesthetically pleasing to impress your (minimal Christmas 2020) crowd but they taste amazing. Think, Butter Danish cookies meets the texture of Milano cookies. Absolute…
Vegan Paella (Easy Spanish Rice)
Want to switch up your celebration table for this Holiday season? Well, you’re in luck, because my recipes are all about standing out with bold flavors. This, new, recipe I’m about to present to you is no different. Today, I will be showing you how to make Vegan Paella. WHAT IS PAELLA? Paella,…
Vegan Corn Chowder (Coconut Corn Soup)
I just want to be clear, I’m an island girl. Living on Guam, I experience summer all year long. Making soup recipes and holiday themed dishes, especially made for winters, are not natural to me; and it is something I have adapted since food blogging. Though, I do enjoy making holiday-themed recipes now….
Vegan Shepherd’s Pie
There you have it, friends, we have officially entered the Holiday season. While I am, usually, known for making easy-peasy recipes that take one hour (or less) to make, it is always great to add a variety of food to the table. While making pies might seem intimidating to make, I can assure…
