Soaked in eggs and milk and then fried in butter, French toast is a big no-no for those who follow a plant-based diet. But making a vegan version of this classic breakfast dish is both easy and delicious. The trick is to make a batter by blending together coconut milk and soft tofu.

I’ll admit something to you: I like my drinks a little girly. I want my cocktails to taste good and not too much like liquor, though on occasion, a scotch or bourbon on the rocks hits the spot. I’m not shy about adding fruit and sugar and I love herbs of all kinds all up in my drinks, too. Pimm’s Cup is definitely at the top of my favorite summer cocktails. It’s refreshing, effervescent and straight delicious.
Although food trucks around the country have been dispensing Korean-style tacos for some time now, the culinary combination may seem a bit odd to the uninitiated. If you set the geographical distances aside, though, the two cuisines are a natural fit. With wrapped grilled meats and bold flavor profiles loaded with garlic and chili peppers, there’s enough common ground to play well together, and yet, enough differences to make something exciting and new.

I’m always conflicted about hot soup during the summer time. Is this something we want to eat? I usually veer on the side of no. But a few days ago, it was gloomy with mild temperatures in LA and the tomatoes and corn at the market were screaming to be combined. I figured it was the perfect time to break out a soup recipe I’ve been wanting to try. I’m pretty excited about this one.

I love a good summer salad. But only if the ingredients and combinations are interesting. Have you ever had purslane? It’s technically categorized as a weed but oh what a delicious weed it is. This means that at farmer’s markets and Middle Eastern markets, you’ll find it for a mere 80 cents a bunch—it’s cheap! It’s a bit spicy and the texture is much thicker than you might be used to. It’s a flavorful weed that I love to add to salads.
While sweet breakfasts can be a nice treat from time to time, savory breakfasts tend to be my staple morning meal. Dishes like Eggs Benedict are one of my favorites, with an exquisite mélange of tastes, textures and colors. Actually, Eggs Benedict is probably my favorite western breakfast of all time (with Huevos Rancheros coming in a close second).

Summertime is for relaxing. It’s for wearing sunglasses, sitting on porches and sipping sweet tea. There are times when I’m convinced that I have a grandma living inside of me because rather than going to da club or any other stuff like that, I’d rather be home baking with my corgi by my side.
