A few years ago, my husband and I ran a market stall at a popular food market and our best seller was without-a-doubt our brownies. Every Saturday we would pile them high and within a few hours they would be gone. An American couple bought 6-8 every week, without fail, and the wife once told me she would be serving them to a few diplomats visiting their home that evening....

Updated March 26, 2019 I used a mixture of egg whites and one whole egg. I added in garlic, asparagus, spinach, green onions, and feta cheese. I cooked everything on the stove and then popped it in the oven to finish things off. I love how simple frittatas are to make and there are few dishes to do too:) This frittata is very springy! I love the green colors. We both enjoyed this meal....
Don’t you lurve when that happens?! I came home from a Barre class starving my hiney off because I only had time to grab a banana before I left. My body is quite used to a normal spread in the a.m., so it wasn’t happy with that sad excuses for breakfast. I was actually planning on making my beet and green bean salad from last year, but I decided to change it up because I was super in the mood for a lettuce-less salad....
Oh my stars! I mean strata. We’re brunching reeeeeal strong today. Raise your hand if you know what a strata is. I only do because of my mom. Hello, mumsy!

I see her more in me every day, like when I make fruit salad and plate in a glass pie platter....

Updated March 04, 2020 A Twist on the Traditional Caprese Salad Caprese salad is hands down one of my favorite salads. Caprese salad is a simple Italian salad, made of sliced fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and sweet basil, seasoned with salt and olive oil. It is so simple and so good. I didn’t think the classic Caprese salad could get any better, but then I made this Avocado Strawberry Caprese Salad, a recipe from, The Love & Lemons Cookbook by Jeanine Donofrio and Jack Matthews....

What is Shawarma? Shawarma is meat (most often beef, lamb or chicken) stacked on a vertical rotisserie/spit and grilled low and slow, often all day long. The meat is carved off the side of the spit and served in pita bread or flatbread with your choice of vegetables, sauces, pickles, etc. As I didn’t have the option to cook the chicken for long on a vertical spit, I wanted to replicate the juiciness and flavor in a simple way....
This famous Sichuanese dish is as mind-blowing as its name suggests! (I know I’ve used “mind-blowing” twice, but that’s how my friend described it when I served the dish.) You may have seen Bang Bang Chicken on Chinese takeout menus or in new hipster Chinese restaurants. But it’s pretty rare that you’ll find a Bang Bang Chicken that is true to the original. In the American version, chicken chunks are usually breaded, fried, and served with a nutty or sweet chili sauce....
