Bhurrka
Bhurrka is a freshly made condiment of seasoned oil, roasted garlic, red chile and peanut powder. Spicy, hot bhurrka, pithla and white rice is my comfort meal. Bhakri or sorghum bread is also enjoyed with this combo in Western India. But as you can imagine from its ingredients, bhurrka is multi-talented. Top your grain bowl or black bean soup for a hot kick. Or mix with some olive oil and serve as a dip for a hearty, course bread. Combine with cream cheese and lather over your bagel. Replace hot sauce with bhurrka on anything!
Magical Three-Ingredient Dressing
Mayonnaise-haters, look away. This magical dressing—which leans entirely on the creamy, tanginess of mayo and the spicy, garlicky Huy Fong sauce I eat by the jarful—is my secret weapon for any quick salad, grain bowl, seared protein, or sautéed green in need of some zhooshing up. It asks pretty much nothing of you, and gives you everything in return.
Golden beet hummus
This is a versatile healthy snack that can be made vegan by omitting the Crème Fraîche. I eat it with crackers or just out of the jar.
Rainbow Carrot Coins
A super simple recipe packed with flavor perfect for an easy side or meal prepping!
Peanut butter, honey, banana and jelly sandwich
While peanut butter and jelly has long been my favorite sandwich, the later addition of first sliced bananas and, almost a year later, honey, have made what is already my favorite lunch to have at work even better. I first added the banana slices on a whim after being offered one for 50% off at the grocery store I work at, while my friend Clarisa Damron convinced me to try adding honey. When combined between two slices of your favorite bread, peanut butter, honey, banana and jelly will surely be the most delicious homemade sandwich you have ever put to your lips and sunk your teeth into. Your palate will be blown away by how good this is.

Von Diaz’s Pork Tenderloin Pernil Style
Von Diaz is sitting on the secret to not-at-all boring or dry pork tenderloin. In an ode to her mother, a working parent who always preferred her meats light and lean, Diaz seasons and marinates tenderloin like pernil, a Puerto Rican dish that's traditionally made with pork shoulder and roasted low and slow for several hours. Bonus: Because tenderloin can cook much faster and hotter and stay tender, you get to pernil in under 30 minutes. Adapted slightly from Coconuts & Collards: Recipes and Stories from Puerto Rico to the Deep South (University Press of Florida, 2018).
No-Churn Pumpkin Ice Cream
This pumpkin ice cream is no-cook and no-churn. It's also no–pumpkin spice. By ditching the usual suspects (looking at you, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg), you can appreciate pumpkin's squashy flavor even more. Serve with an assortment of toppings, like whipped cream, crumbled nut brittle, and maple syrup. I wouldn't turn down a shot of espresso either.
Fresh homemade chile sauce
I whip out this hot sauce every time I make any Asian, Indo-Chinese or Thai dish. It's fresh, fiery red and your flavor buds send delicious waves of contentment to the brain after every bite.
Stinky Tofu Ratatouille
This Stinky Tofu Sauce is a fusion dish, inspired by the summer harvest and one of my favorite Taiwanese recipes. The pungent aroma isn’t for the faint of heart!

This recipe is a delicious alternative to pizza crust because the polenta provides the perfect bed for pizza toppings. Here, a knife and fork are mandatory.
Vegan Caesar Dressing
A delicious alternative to the typical caesar dressing, this creamy substitute is savory and perfect for any salad. I suggest using this dressing over a kale salad with additional veggies of your choice, and adding crushed cashews, crispy chickpeas or crushed up pita chips as "croutons" to the salad!

Slow roasting this salmon recipe with capers and dill is foolproof. The oven temperature is so low, so there is a large gap between undercooked and overcooked.
