N O S T A L G I A 🌿 Spring roll lovers, swipe & bookmark this post! 🌱 Gathered w/my grad school friends to celebrate the beginning of our professional lives—such a bittersweet feeling! Of course we made spring rolls, bc let’s be real, it’s too hot to eat anything else! Swipe for an informal spring roll tutorial I gave my friends! 🤣 These particular rolls are called bì cuốn! ☺️ . . As mentioned in the video, the bì (tofu filling) for these rolls was from D’Vegan! ❤️ We ate them with my 5 spice peanut sauce (recipe is linked in my bio)! 🌱 . . Y’all have been so curious about spring rolls lately, and I got a ton of requests for a tutorial! I love the enthusiasm—rolls are one of my absolute favorite things to eat. I have a vision for a cute, aesthetic~ tutorial in the future but for now, enjoy this candid one—lots of laughter involved! Hopefully you find it helpful! 🙏🏼

I N S P I R E ❤️ Today’s #WCW post is dedicated to the vibrant Alma of @downtoearthdfw!❣️As a (former) grad student at UTA & a big advocate for veg options on campus, I have been SO grateful for Alma’s presence @utarlington @utacollegepark during my final semester!! 😍This week will be Down to Earth’s last week serving the #UTAcommunity—so sad to see them go but so excited for her future endeavors with her food truck! So UTA folks, go see her on campus while you can! Thank you for sharing your soulful food with UT Arlington, Alma—we appreciate you so much. 🙏🏼 . . Swipe to see some of my fave menu items from Alma (1. Elote nachos, 2. Tacos, 3. Black Bean Molletes) —and don’t worry, you can still get this deliciousness via her food truck! 🙏🏼 I’m about to go to @downtoearthdfw later today for ol time’s sake! 🌱🤗 Hope to see you there 😉

F R E S H 🌱 Made gỏi cuốn chay—vegan spring rolls featuring @allvegetarianinc’s 🍤, for last night’s @veganladyboss meeting! All made from plants! 😇 Served these with my 5 spice peanut sauce (recipe #linkinbio), these were a hit with everyone, despite my personal critique of my rolls (I had to use a different wrapper from my usual, so it was harder for me to make nice rolls, LOL). 🙏🏼 . . I’ve been obsessed with đồ cuốn (fresh rolls) of all kinds—perf for summer! ☺️🌱 Looks like you guys are all super interested in them too, so I’ll be developing a full recipe for these (and others) soon...once I’m done applying for jobs + working on my portfolio, lol. Life’s a little crazy/in limbo right now! #postgradlife 🤣 For now, here’s what I put in these rolls: . . 🍤 @allvegetarianinc’s #veganshrimp (DFW peeps, you can get it @luckymouthgrocery! You can also order via @plantsleadourway!)—I halved them and sautéed with caramelized onions + some chili garlic paste! 🍃fresh mint leaves 🥬 Romaine lettuce 🌱 Vietnamese chives (aka hẹ) ✨ fried shallots . . Let me know your questions about rolls and I’ll do my best to answer in the comments or on the blog!! Thank you all so much for showing so much love for spring rolls in my stories lately, it makes my heart so happy!! 🙏🏼😂😍🥰🌱🥬🍃

P O T E N T I A L | “You are 27 or 28 right? It is very tough to live at that age. When nothing is sure. I have sympathy with you.” - Haruki Murakami . . After finishing grad school, I’m in this scary, emotional place of growth, where nothing is certain but every decision holds so much potential. Been feeling overwhelmed about everything and then some! But I am trying to hold onto some kind of peace in the mere appreciation of getting the chance to embark on a well-earned journey in pursuing my passions even further. What that path looks like and where it may lead, may be hazy right now but what will always fuel and guide me is the inner drive of my Self. 🙏🏼 . . Hope you’re having a peaceful, reflective Sunday, friends!

H O N E S T | I don’t post my failures enough, but thought I should share that behind every lovely photograph or fully developed recipe, there can be many drafts and bad batches! A lot of work + love goes into all of my content so it TRULY makes my day when y’all send me messages about how my recipes go when you make them, seriously it’s the best feeling to be able to help someone from far away! So happy to connect with y’all via my little blog, I appreciate each of you for your feedback and you all inspire me. 🥰 . . My latest cake was visually stunning but texturally it was not a success, and you know what, sometimes that’s ok...Making mistakes is part of the process (especially with gluten free baking, amirite?!) Going back to the lab with this one. :) But so happy I could chill out and laugh all night with the incredible @vpsvenom122 for his birthday & attempt his fave pineapple upside down cake—I’ll get the cake better next time, love, lol thanks for believing in me anyway! Still so grateful to have the chance to celebrate one of my oldest friends from college! ❤️🍍🎂
