You read the title correctly: vegan chili… made with pumpkin! Pumpkin isn’t just for pies and lattes; it actually adds the perfect texture to this chili. Now, this chili recipe was made on a whim… I had a craving for something warm and hearty, didn’t have time to go grocery shopping, and it needed to…

Location | Philadelphia, PA Price | cheap, affordable, moderate, expensive Website | no website, follow their social media @dottiesdonuts That’s right! A fully vegan donut spot. They’ve got two locations in Philly – one in West Philly on Springfield Ave and the other on South…
Morning Matcha Smoothie
My love for matcha started with Starbucks’ iced soy green tea lattes… until I found out how much damn sugar is in them, even if you don’t ask them to sweeten it! This realization led me to order my own unsweetened, organic, non-gmo matcha (Epic Matcha on Amazon) to start making my own green tea…
November Intentions
I always see people posting their desired intentions or goals once a new month rolls around. I typically make mental notes of what I’d like to work on, or what I’d like to focus on each month, but very rarely do these intentions come to fruition (probably because of a lack of accountability on my…
Smokey, Spicy Three-Pepper Pasta Sauce
Alright ladies and gents, this pasta sauce MIGHT just change the way you view pasta sauces for… ever? Yeah, well maybe I’m biased, but whatever. To be honest this sauce gives off some serious salsa vibes, but is there really anything wrong with that? Like, if marinara and fresh salsa had a baby, it would…
Foodie Friday | Hip City Veg
Good morning, fellow food lovers! Today, I’m bringing to you a new concept to my blog, where I’ll be sharing some of my favorite places to go out to eat. The posts will be up every Friday morning (or most Friday mornings) and will showcase restaurants that are either completely vegan/vegetarian OR have a heavily…
Not-So-Authentic Huevos Rancheros
That’s right… I’m not trying to fool anyone. This is definitely no where near an authentic variation of Huevos Rancheros. BUT! Do you know what it IS? Freakin’ delicious and that’s really all that matters, right? This recipe was 100% inspired by a dish that I’ve eaten over a dozen times at one of my…
Sesame Ginger Grilled Eggplant
I’m back with a new recipe after feeling pretty uninspired to cook creatively for a while now. It’s an easy one, but also super versatile… which is how all recipes should be in my opinion. You can grill these up on your outdoor grill or, if you’re like me and are living in a tiny…
Life Update
Listen… I know I’m bad at this. I’m kind of sorry but not really because I’ve come to accept that maintaining a blog will likely be sporadic for me at this point in my life. All I can do it say that I will TRY to be more consistent, but I won’t lie to you…
Sweet & Smoky Butternut Squash Soup
Let the fall recipes commence! This one hits all the notes – sweet, spicy, smokey, savory – and is apparently a fan of alliteration as well. What you’ll need: 1lb fresh butternut squash, chopped 3 large carrots, chopped 2 russet potatoes, chopped 3 large shallots or 1 medium onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, peeled and…
I’ve got some explaining to do…
My last post was a really ironic way of taking an unexpected hiatus from this thing. Self-love… it’s so damn important. If you can’t love and take care of yourself, who will? If you don’t look in the mirror and possess the ability to measure and recognize your self-worth, who could possibly equip you with…
7 Acts of Self-Love
This is going to be a little different compared to my usual food posts… but I think it’s a necessary one. For months now, I have felt like I’ve been in a “rut”. This rut has been so deep that, at times, I couldn’t really even see a way to climb out of it. Within…
