Happy Harvest

This canned #corn is naturally #sweet and delicious (and most importantly, cheap! #value) I’m not the biggest corn fan — fighting words, perhaps, in The Cornhusker State — but it was a good addition to the tofu chili I meal-prepped more

acastillon Lol yeah that's dangerous talk there in Iowa! We were ostracized here in Wisconsin for saying that we don't like cheese.

Hope you're settling in well there! 🌽Reply

Kirkland Signature

This is a huge amount of quality #oliveoil that should last me a long time. #costco I survived my first week of classes by reheating and eating from a massive batch of pesto-tossed pasta that I cooked last weekend (hello, more

This #berrylover #salad was one of the prettiest I’ve ever had — everything was so fresh, and the #eattherainbow presentation was simply gorgeous. This dish is #glutenfree and comes with roasted golden #beetroot, fresh #strawberry, more

lizmaselli I love the Modern Love in NYC, I always forget she has one in Omaha. So cool! Her mom lives here in Columbus and her brother in law has a game cafe. Super nice family!1 likeReply
kyu Oh, that’s awesome! I didn’t get to try the location in New York, but it’s beyond cool that their other restaurant is here. It was a nice treat to bring my family when they were visiting :-) Reply
acastillon Looks delicious! Glad you are finding your way around Omaha well. A friend of mine grew up there and loved it.1 likeReply

Honestly, this cheezy #garliclover #brusselssprouts appetizer is everything I was hoping the Goddess Bowl would be. It features Brussels sprouts smothered in a noochy “roasted #garlic sauce” with “pepita parmesan, arugula, more

Unfortunately, the Goddess Bowl is a just so-so entree at an otherwise excellent #veganrestaurant. I was prepared for #toohealthy just going off the menu description (“grilled #tofu, #pesto, sautéed kale, brown #rice, tahini, more

It felt like a #sweet treat was in order after a hectic week of orientation and my first tornado warning. We previously enjoyed the fresh, original flavor combinations served at this Old Market #gelato and #sorbet shop. more

kyu Thank you!! You won’t be rid of me completely, the dining scene here is full of surprises that I’m eager to share :-) it’s been more vegan-friendly than I expected for a city with a reputation for steak 4 likesReply
alistar Awesome! I’m super happy to hear that. I wonder if universities are more vegan friendly in general. In Florida the grocery stores were super vegan friendly but the restaurants surprisingly were not, even the chain ones. I’ve sent some emails to the chains like Hard Rock as I find it shocking. I wonder if that’s just Florida though?1 likeReply
iszy Tornadoes are one of my biggest fears. 😫 But their frequency in Minnesota is definitely more toned down than in Nebraska. I'm glad you got a treat after your first warning! 3 likesReply
kyu I had no idea what was going on at first because it was totally clear when the siren went off, but I think that was the most rain and lightning I’ve seen in my life. I’m very fortunate in that my area didn’t see major damage, and our power stayed on the whole time! 2 likesReply

Trader Joe's

This is a truly fantastic #herbs and #spices blend from Trader Joe’s. It played a pivotal role in my hearty not-meat and potatoes dinner recently — I used it to season both the air-fried potato wedges and my homemade seitan. more

Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day

I love my new apartment, but the fact that it’s a studio, paired with the hot and humid conditions and a window that only opens about 4 inches, is a sure-fire recipe for mustiness. I was happy to see that this #fresh-smelling more

I was just craving something simple for lunch today (so simple, I even forgot to add the shiitake in my fridge…) and settled on koya-dofu soup. Koya-dofu (or kouri, as it’s called here) is a type of #japanese #tofu that more

Acid League

This #hotsauce is amazing! I’d say the heat level is mild to moderate; I did get a slight jolt when I first tasted this #habanero-based sauce, but it’s not too #spicy and the heat somehow doesn’t linger. It’s hard to describe, more
