Whilst in the throes of fully reviving and redesigning this site, in the middle of a pandemic, in a new city we’ve barely been able to explore because of said pandemic, Nick and I celebrated eight years together yesterday. With few other safe options available, we decided to party our…
I see a lot of fudge recipes around this time of year, but they’re always overly sugared, unstable out of the freezer, and rarely vegan. As someone with lots of food restrictions of my own, I definitely know what it feels like to be at a party or work event…
Oh my goodness. Even as a general hater of all things cinnamon, pumpkin cheesecake is pretty much my favorite treat this time of year. I think something about the creaminess combined with the sweetness of the pumpkin helps to offset the cinnamon enough for me to focus on the sugar.…
I’ve had the idea to create my own not-full-of-junk not-full-of-carbs workout beverage for quite a while, but couldn’t really figure out the right direction to go in. Collagen has been growing in popularity for quite some time, I myself have been using it for well over a year at this…
Oooh it feels so good to be writing again! Especially about food, and makeup! I know I sort of disappeared without a trace after posting very regularly for half the year, but now I’m back. Long story short: I unexpectedly got a job offer and have been working full time…

Russians apparently consume more mayonnaise than any other population in the world, so I guess it’s not that much of a surprise that it is probably my favorite condiment of all time. Unfortunately, the store-bought mayonnaise options are pretty lacking in quality, taste, price or any combination of the three.…
Despite our shared Russian roots, beef stroganoff is not a dish I ate often growing up – I don’t really remember eating it ever to be honest. That all changed a few years ago when Portland was graced with Kachka, the Russian/Ukrainian restaurant brain child of James Beard-nominee Bonnie Morales.…
