As a child of the 90s, I remember a time when pizza wasn’t taken seriously. When it was perfectly normal and not at all neglectful to be served a frozen pizza for dinner.

Sometimes eating your feelings can involve vegetables and these Tofu Salad Bowls are proof of that.

We have arrived at soup season, which is a very good thing. I don’t much care for winter but I do love soup. And I particularly enjoy soup when my cheeks are stinging from the cold and my feet are outfitted in loud, chunky socks. Perhaps there is hope for winter after all…probably not. Today’s Braised Mushroom Soba Soup is the perfect companion to obnoxious winter socks. It’s loaded with umami and equipped with hearty, slurp-able noodles. It’s a brothy, meat-free number, so it also happens to be very January-friendly without being bland. This is definitely the type of soup you could dive right into, so let’s do just that.
