tofu files

February 12, 2021 ~ cookingwithleeks ~ Leave a comment

good morning! this morning i woke up and did a "waking up" meditation, if you will, via headspace (my fav meditation app). and i've got to say... it was a nice way to awaken! the meditation itself was a visualization when you recall a time that you were heated by the sun and in an … Continue reading tofu files

soaking beans and rice

September 28, 2020September 27, 2020 ~ cookingwithleeks ~ Leave a comment

happy new week! a lot of people hate mondays (and if i could choose, i would have the weekend last forever), but i like to view mondays as an opportunity for anything can happen. it's a fresh start! a time to set priorities, and then follow through on your goals. i will admit that i … Continue reading soaking beans and rice

buying lettuce

September 26, 2020September 25, 2020 ~ cookingwithleeks ~ Leave a comment

i'm not an expert on buying lettuce, but i feel like it is similar to buying art -- buy what moves you. pre-cut and pre-washed lettuce is certainly a time-saver to have on hand, but in order to really expand your tastebuds, you're going to want to have the freedom to buy whole heads of … Continue reading buying lettuce

caramelizing onions

September 24, 2020September 23, 2020 ~ cookingwithleeks ~ 1 Comment

i often forget what a simple, sustainable delight it is to caramelize onions. i've recently turned to red onions for caramelizing as opposed to yellow or white, because that's amy chaplin's go-to move! and i'm assuming it is because red onions have a higher amount of antioxidant compounds than yellow or white onions. and they're … Continue reading caramelizing onions

RBG, an inspiration and icon

September 19, 2020September 19, 2020 ~ cookingwithleeks ~ 1 Comment

i am so sad hearing the news of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing. she is an icon. listening to and reading the news coverage of her life is nothing short of inspiring. she worked until the day she died fighting for what she believed in -- equality for all. as the news sunk in, i made … Continue reading RBG, an inspiration and icon
