Recently we discovered the above image in our drafts, with no recipe saved alongside it. So, with simply a photo as inspiration, this warm Potato/Tomato casserole was recreated—dare I say, even tastier than before. (And with the loviest aroma!) First: – Take 2 medium onions, slice thin and then into thirds. – Put in glass…
Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie Filling
It’s just not autumn without some pumpkin pie! Since my sister is dairy-free, we’ve settled on the following recipe (it’s a slight alteration of the one featured on back of the pumpkin puree we use.) It’s just sweet enough, while not being too much, and captures the texture and taste of a regular pumpkin filling—if…
Spicy, Cozy, Potatoes & Carrots
(As usual, all main ingredients are organic; this makes a difference in taste.) It’s fall, and time for cozy dishes. With its warm depth of flavor and tingly bit of spice, these colorful Indian potatoes and carrots are like an autumnal hug. Tonight I enjoyed them after returning from a walk, which took me through…
Scrumptious Candy-Like Roasted Red Cabbage and Carrots
I have never been a strong believer in cabbage. In fact, in all my twenty years, it has continuously managed to find its way onto my palate’s “most unwanted” list. Well, until now. Most often, it isn’t a vegetable’s fault for being unappetizing; rather it is society’s fault for forgetting, or not bothering to figure…
Herb Butter
Summertime is great for herbs. You can go into your garden or yard and pick them fresh. And with so many herbs, why not use them? One lovely thing to do with herbs, I find, is to make herb butter! You can use any and all the herbs you have. Although, I always make sure to include a few clover or chive…
Curried Chickpeas
It’s no secret that I love Indian food, and one classic dish I like to eat is Chickpeas. They’re spicy (although you can make it less so, if you want) and pretty easy to make. First, chop: – 1 medium onion and put it in a pot (make sure there’s oil in it first). Simmer…
Indian Rice
Rice is great for having with food—especially Indian food—so its worth knowing how to make. This recipe is for Indian rice, but all that means is that there’s onions in it, which always tastes good, and it is made with a special fragrant rice called basmati. Rice is one of those things that doesn’t take that long,…
The Beauty of Food
Although Alex of French Guy Cooking usually posts humorous videos of delicious recipes (which are certainly worth checking out), he also has some videos of slow-motion “kitchen verbs.” Although they’re all amazing, nothing beats the video below which is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.

Who am I?
I’m Sonia. I love food. If anything holds beauty, secrets, and the ability to change someone’s day (or life) it’s food. I love the smell of it, the bright colors and all the little things involved in cooking. I enjoy eating all kinds of food from all around the world, and I love anything spicy. I’m…
