Every now and then you need a challenge. You need to try something new. That was what I needed this month. I was starting to feel like all the recipes I was doing for my New Years’ Resolution were all “quick/easy/simple.” Those recipes are great, don’t get me wrong. I want quick, easy, and simple for most of my meals. […]
Recently, I’ve been spending a lot of time learning about connecting with my own emotions, being more assertive, and how to be a better leader, particularly when it comes to sustainability and with my family and friends. Assertiveness and and emotional connection feel like something I could teach myself, but I find leadership to be a more elusive skill to […]
Pasta. I love a good pasta. But can a good pasta be made without meat?! Of course it can. September 2024: Quick & Easy Veggie Linguine For one of my vegetarian dishes for this challenge, I knew I had to do a pasta. Sticking with my usual theme of doing a dish that is simple, flexible, and easy to make, […]

July 2024: Baba Ganoush Not to too far from where I live, there’s a Greek place, and not to say anything bad about anything else on their menu, but every now and then, I just NEED to get […]
Despite my recent blog posts about vegan/vegetarian cooking, I am not a chef. I don’t really try to push the boundaries of culinary tastes, flavors, and textures. For the most part, I want to make food that is simple, tasty, and healthy. So in my quest to find more things to make that are vegetarian and vegan, I found this […]
I already know what you’re thinking: “What the heck is toum?” That was exactly what I thought when I bought my first toum (or “Toom” as it was branded). It was being sold as a “delicious vegan sauce”, and I thought I’d give it a shot, and bought some pita bread to go with it. For those uninitiated, it’s a […]
For April, I continued my 2024 monthly tradition of cooking a vegetarian or vegan dish that I’ve never made before. As always, I tend to aim for simple, quick recipes and this one was no exception. I want to be able to make quick, easy, and tasty plant-based meals, and the Chinese (thanks to their long history of Buddhism) have […]

I’ve finally come to the end of a full set of Method Initiative exercises! Honestly, after going through it 4 times, it feels pretty good to finally finish a set! Let’s review how I feel now that they’re done. The Final Exercise For the last exercise of method Initiative, I had to connect with 10 people who are potentially very […]
