Chocolate Cupcakes Vegan Gluten-Free Soy-Free
I’ve been craving chocolate cupcakes since Moe’s birthday party well over two weeks ago. Problem is, where does one find vegan gluten-free cupcakes on this side of BedStuy? GrubHub and Seamless fail. Not a single new cafe (Pantry, Breadlove, Liquid Oz) has a consistent supply of non-mainstream goodies. I’m working on changing that, but alas, […]

Bok Choy Smoothie $2.00
Ok, so unless it’s in a Thai Curry, I find bok choy a bit difficult to handle. I’ll do it steamed with my special sauce, but during the summer, who really wants to turn up the heat? That’s why I created this recipe for raw bok choy. I’d hate to waste any of my local, […]

Sancocho!
For the last day of winter, the kids and I created a warm and delicious sancocho, a stew that I first learned about while living in Santo Domingo. The stew is rich and creamy and contains a medley of soothing starches like yucca, yautia (we used yams), plantain, and potato. There’s something truly marvelous about the soothing quality of […]
