This one is pure summer love and it isn’t even summer yet, but who cares! While flipping through a foodie magazine at the supermarket to stock up on some inspiration, I ran into this tomato and goat cheese pie. Brilliant idea! Just what I needed, light, colorful, summery and savory. Who can resist that? I borrowed the idea and gave it my spin. It’s simple and fast but I can…
I did something weird. Well, weird is a pretty big word. It’s more that I took a slightly different approach when cooking cauliflower the other day. Cauliflower is one of those veggies I like but don’t always know what to do with. Yeah, pour some cheese sauce on top and its tasty alright, but face it; it gets old really fast.

This is a really solid recipe, tried and true, shouldn’t get lost in internet lalaland so I’m posting it to my blog as well. My family has made these roasted potatoes like this for years, today I just switch up the herbs or add…
I was facing a major challenge, a catch 22 almost: I wanted to create a vegetarian pumpkin recipe for Kayotic Kitchen. But here’s the catch: my guy hates pumpkin. No, he doesn’t just dislike it, he hates it with a passion. I’m very adamant where it comes to finding ways to make people eat and even like those things they usually dislike. What can I say? It’s an annoying trait,…
