Hello & Happy Wednesday!             If there is one concept I don’t do a lot of, it’s potatoes. I feel as though I overlook them not because they are carb heavy, but because they are so wonderful just simply baked or mashed that I don’t explore other flavor profiles. However, there are so many ways to play...

                                  Hello & Happy Wednesday!!             Lately I’ve been craving all things savory, but I knew it was time to feature a new dessert concept! No matter what they say, you can never have too many cookie recipes, especially when they are this easy!   Typically with cookies you have to...

                                    Hello & Happy Monday!!                 If there is a veggie I love thru and thru, it’s brussels sprouts! Surprisingly, I didn’t get to know and love this fab veggie until about 2009. All those years gone to waste without this fab veggie. (tears) What’s fab...

                        Hello & Happy Wednesday!               If there is one dessert that everyone loves down south, …it’s apple cobbler. I personally like the concept of  cobbler as there are tons of variations and I love to see everyone’s take on it. One of the best flavor combinations is your staple apple flavor, but I wanted to put a...

                                    Hello & Happy Friday!!           I don’t know about you, but I always go thru phases with foods. Once I find a recipe that works I’m off to thinking of a variety of flavors you can create. Needless to say, I tested a few pretzel recipes, and fell back in love with this classic...

                    Hello & Happy Monday!!           After diving head first into countless summer dessert concepts via Eat Drink Shrink, I’ve been on a mission to explore all things savory!

                        Hello & Happy Wednesday!!             Lately I’ve been on a mission to explore more potato recipes. For a long time I overlooked this category as plain jane potatoes are so good! So why get fancy? I’ll tell you why, because there are so many flavor options!!   The past year or so Everything Bagel seasoning...

                        Hello & Happy Saturday!!           I know we are all cooped up inside, so it’s the perfect time to get in the kitchen and explore new recipes. One of my favorite weekend concepts is your standard pancake! Instead of keeping them plain Jane though, I love to mix it up and feature modern flavors.    Since spring has...

                        Hello & Happy Friday!!           On the weekends I love to do a dessert concept, and right now I’m all about the sheet cake! Gone are the days where you have to get fancy with icing and layer cakes. You can easily create an effortless sheet cake with half the time effort you can have an amazing cake, so I’m hooked! When...

                          Hello & Happy Monday!!               Yesterday I whipped up upwards of four different recipes. From pasta to potatoes, rice krispie treats and more.. I’m excited for all the new eats coming this week! One of my favorite recipes I’ve had been meaning to try is this  Miso Mushroom Pasta. I don’t...

                       Hello & Happy Monday!!             I literally made this recipe 5 years ago as I was just branching out into the culinary world with EDS. Believe it or not, this recipe still holds up today and remains to be one of my favorites out of 100’s of recipes! It was inspired by my favorite veggie burger at the Houstons restaurant chain...

                                  Hello & Happy Monday!!             I never had an affinity for chicken, red meat, pork, etc, but I loved seafood! If you’ve been in the plant based world for a minute I’m sure you quickly realized that it can be hard to replicate fish. There are some faux products on the market that...

                      Hello & Happy Wednesday!!             With all this social distancing I’ve been revisiting tons of concepts I typically pass on. One of those.. is homemade pasta! I learned how to make homemade pasta back in undergrad at NYU. Prior to tasting homemade pasta I was honestly never a fan. For years I just didn’t gravitate...

                            Hello & Happy Saturday!!!             With the warm weather upon us, everyone is reaching for white wines, rosés and champagne. While I don’t do a lot of alcohol, I honestly love to throw it in recipes as it adds more depth to savory dishes and puts a fun twist on desserts. One of my favorite concepts is...

                        Hello & Happy Tuesday!!             Lately I’ve been all about creating effortless appetizers! While it’s easy just to pick something ready made up from the store after a long day, I love homemade! Just like everything else, it taste better when homemade!    Back in my early cooking days cashews were making a...

                  Hello & Happy Tuesday!!           The fourth is coming and I’m all about effortless festive eats. I personally love this holiday as there are so many ways to make a vibrant spread featuring red, white, and blue foods. One of my favorite desserts is actually, a trifle!

                      Hello & Happy Friday              On the weekends I love fun indulgent eats and nachos are one of my favorites! This concept gets a bad reputation for being just nutritionally deficient, but that’s completely false.  I personally love nachos as they can be simultaneously veggie packed, filling and I make a fab cashew cheese!...

                        Hello & Happy Thursday!!           If there is one thing we all need, it’s an effortless cake recipe. I personally love sheet cakes. They are seamless to throw together, easy to store, and the list goes on. While many are all about the chocolate cake, I’m honestly team vanilla. I love the simplicity of the flavor and the...

                      Hello & Happy Friday!!           My favorite thing to do with cooking, is create a bucket list! There are so many recipes I come across that fall into this category and I try my best to work my way thru them. However, sometime recipes escape me.. like these vegan Pansy Shortbread Cookies!!   Around 2014 edible flowers started making...

                      Hello & Happy Tuesday!!             Nearly 20 years ago, I discovered bread dipping oil. Whether you were at a restaurant or the market, this iconic concept became commonplace. No matter what your preferences are, fresh bread with herb infused oil, is always a win! While you can purchase the herb mixture, homemade is just so seamless...

                        Hello & Happy Saturday!!               Life is short, remember it’s always somebodies birthday somewhere.. so celebrate!!   I’m not sure what it is, but people always gravitate towards anything sprinkles. Perhaps it stems from nostalgia, or just the array of colors that catches our eyes, but it’s...

                      Hello & Happy Thursday!!         Lately we’ve been expanding each recipe category and cupcakes were on my list! I don’t do a lot of cupcakes as I like to save them for special occasions and honestly, I’m not the best at icing lol.    During undergrad at NYU there was perhaps only 1 workshop where we focused on icing, and...

      Hello & Happy Wednesday!!   If there is one type of cookie that always gets a bad wrap, it’s oatmeal! However, you can make a fab oatmeal cookie that’s sans flour and low sugar! Since our babe is arriving in just a few days, I’ve been on the search for the most effortless recipes from sweet to savory, and an oatmeal cookie was just a must!!   In my early vegan days I would have a bowl of...

    I realized the other day that out of hundreds of recipes on EDS, I don’t have a staple vegan peanut butter cookie recipe lol. I love to get creative with recipes so I typically gravitate away from the traditional concepts. The being said, I’m taking a moment to deliver the most seamless staples you can think of..  and the vegan 3 ingredient flourless Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Almond Flour Cookies were born!!...

                      Hello & Happy Sunday!!           Lately I’ve been craving effortless dips. I find that we typically reach for store bought ready made options when they are so easy just to whip up ourselves. bonus, it’s also way more cost effective to go the homemade route and you can skip all the preservatives, additives and make them more...

           Hello & Happy Monday!!         As a southern native, fudge was always a thing. They sold it at bakeries, people brought it to gatherings etc. However, I hate to say it, but today fudge just isn’t something you much about anymore lol. Perhaps because as a whole we’re gravitating towards healthier dessert options, but at any rate I was wondering…    Can you make a...

                              Hello & Happy Monday!!             If you know me, you know I’m all about the soups for countless reasons. They pack nutrient, flavor, you can mimic heavy cream with cashews, and it’s a great way to salvage veggies that are about to kick the bucket. I try to gravitate away from any waste, so...

                      Hello & Happy Wednesday!!             Lately I’ve been going through my recipe bucket list and knew I had to do this concept. Typically you’ll only find this veggie in eggplant parm and outside of that it’s not a popular pick. However, I’m exploring more ways to give this veggie some love. I’ve done an...

                        If there is one thing I can’t live without, it’s carbs. The older I get the more I crave the savory and less the sweet! While I love fresh homemade bread, the processes itself can be overwhelming, tedious, and there are so many factors potentially working against you to make the perfect bread.    The yeas could be bad, the water too warm, you...

                        Hello & Happy Thursday!!         If there is one cookie that remains to be iconic, it’s the oatmeal raisin cookie. However, it’s one of those cookies either you love or you hate and if you’ve had a bad one chances are.. you probably hate it lol. With today be National Raisin Day, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to...

                    Hello & Happy Tuesday!!           The week has just started and it’s already been a hectic one lol. One thing that is never hectic? Making a homemade galette! Long before the dawn of galettes I always saw the typical pie that looked tedious and time consuming. Then just like magic, I discovered a galette and the days of pie making are...

                                If there is one bean that never get’s old, it’s chickpeas!! They make for the perfect snack, the flour can be used as a gluten free binder, and don’t get me started on the hummus.    Packed with plant protein and fiber, chickpeas are one of my favorites and they are a bargain to boot!! Think chickpeas are only...

                              Hello  & Happy Wednesday!!             I typically don’t feature cake on a Monday, but Valentines Day is coming and I’m all about cooking! This holiday is typically centered around going on to eat and giving the tangible, but cooking is love, especially when it’s chocolate cake!!  ...

                      Hello & Happy Wednesday!!             Perhaps not everyone will agree, but I feel like THYME is just flying by with social distancing. I’ve been keeping busy and whipping up staple recipes that are not only approachable, affordable, but the ingredient lists are very minimal.    When I was in a bind for dinner last night and...

                            Hello + Happy Wednesday!!           A week via EDS wouldn’t be complete without an effortless vegan truffle recipe! As someone who cooks full time I go through phases with food. Right now, I’m in a truffle phase to explore all the variations, because they are just so easy!!   Typically truffles are...

                                  Hello + Happy Tuesday!             I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge cookie person. I haven’t made a ton of recipes, I don’t crave them all the time but there are few that are just staples   One of them is Soft Baked Frosted Sugar Cookies!   For most people you could find these staple...

                          Hello &  Happy Thursday!!           After the hectic holidays our energy is typically zapped when it comes to food prep.

      Hello & Happy Sunday!!         To honor that the weekend is finally here, I alway whip up a brunch concept! Typically my breakfast routine is avocado toast or homemade granola, but the weekends are a time to let go of my routine and have fun in the kitchen.    One of my favorite southern staples, is a good biscuit! While I love the traditional variety, you can easily make them milk and dairy...

                              Hello & Happy Friday!!           If there is one concept that’s always a crowd pleaser, it’s ice cream cookie sandwiches! Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I made one, because either the cookies weren’t firm enough or it didn’t hold together well and the list goes on. That...

                          Hello & Happy Thursday!!               This week has literally flown by!! Since spring is around the corner I’m already starting to crave the lighter dishes and that even applies to desserts. Believe it or not, truffles can be a nutrient packed option if you take my approach.    My favorite truffle...

                  Hello & Happy Wednesday!           If there is one vegetable I’ve evolved to love over time, it’s beets! Beets are an interesting vegetable that pack a high natural sugar content, a vibrant color, and can be used in the obvious savory dishes and actually pairs seamlessly with sweet dishes as well.    Years ago while developing a plethora...

                          Hello & Happy Thursday!!           Valentine’s Day is tomorrow so here’s to one last recipe to celebrate the holiday! One of my personal favorite cookies, is a Black + White!! Before living in NYC I can’t recall if I’d ever had one. However, in NYC they are everywhere. At every deli, corner store, you...

                            Hello & Happy Thursday!!             If there is one concept I loved and only did one recipe for, it’s vegan truffles! Long before my cooking days when I heard the word truffles, I instantly thought, complex, intricate, but it’s the furthest thing from it whether vegan or not. Granted you can get as...

                          Hello & Happy Tuesday!!           Valentine’s Day is slowly approaching! While many can say it’s a fabricated holiday that holds no value, I personally find it as just another reminder to show love to those in your life. Any reason to celebrate, I’m all about!

One of them, was this staple vegan Lobster Bisque!   While many things can be replicated to be vegan,...

                          Hello & Happy Wednesday!!             Let’s talk beets! Even as a foodie today, once upon a time, I wasn’t a fan of beets. The neutral flavor, the texture, you name it, I wasn’t about it. However, today, I love the vibrancy they add to any dish along with their mild flavor and I just love them. If...

                      Hello & Happy Thursday!!           If there is one veggie I love, it’s beets! However, long before my veggie days, like most kids, I wasn’t fond of beets. Whether it be the color, texture, flavor or C all of the above, I wasn’t a fan. Fast forward to today, I love their mellow flavor! I like to throw them in salads, eat...
