Copycat Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme, Vegan

I love it, you love it, we all love it. TACO BELL. I can confidently say that I have not met an Indian person (at least in the States) that dislikes Taco Bell, or even a non-Indian person. It is the only fast food chain that caters to vegetarian AND vegans for a long time, …

Southwestern Butternut Squash Bisque

Honestly, never been a huge soup person with a few exceptions – my Maa’s tomato soup with homemade croutons, pasta fagioli (cause I’m basically half Italian growing up in Shaolin), and Panera’s broccoli cheddar soup, until I found out it’s made with chicken stock and has enough fat and sodium for a months worth of …

Earth Day: Spicy Indo-Chinese Crispy Chick’n

Earth Day: Spicy Indo-Chinese Crispy Chick’n

Bangkok Street Noodles with Romaine

Bangkok Street Noodles with Romaine

When I was in Thailand a couple of years ago, there were so many cool noodle dishes that were a hell of a lot more than just Pad Thai – don’t get me wrong, I had my delicious fair share of Pad Thai cause it was amazing there. But I saw a lot of cool …

5 Best Things to Eat in Mexico City [CDMX]!

Mexico City or CDMX is a hot spot now! Every other weekend, I know someone new visiting there! Why? My assumption is the proximity to America, frequent & direct flights, short flight time, favorable USD to Peso conversion, and most importantly a potential, disastrous and silly looming wall to be built [rolls eyes].

Rosemary Eggplant Chickpea Pasta

Rosemary Eggplant Chickpea Pasta

I’ve been eating alternative pastas for several months now. They are SO good! I love that you get the feel and taste of eating pasta, but it’s actually packed with protein and is good for you! I’ve tried several brands at this point of varying price points, and I must say Banza is still my …
