Recipes including dips and sauces. This includes anything from salad dressing to hummus to salsa.
I have been scouring Pinterest for fun Easter foods. I do this every year and year after year keep finding absolutely to die for terrines! Now, I’ve never even eaten a terrine, let alone attempted to make one. So, so many, many things could have […]
This white bean hummus is a take on a classic hummus recipe, with the little spin of making it out of white beans, instead of chickpeas. White beans are much softer and infinitely easier to cook than chickpeas. It’s a much faster and easier to […]
I am craving salsa. It’s entirely out of season, though! I don’t have any peppers. I have started some from seed because we’re approaching spring and it’s good to get a head start on those indoors. But I don’t have any on hand at the […]
I made an Ethiopian take on Gomen Wat last week with Sautéed Spinach. That version contained garlic, ginger, cumin, and coriander. It was absolutely delicious and I ate it in everything that I made! I decided to make the same thing this week with just […]

I had honestly never cooked with calabaza squash before this. I’m sure that I’ve seen them around and overlooked something enormous that I didn’t quite know what to do with! But I do enjoy picking up ingredients at random and just kind of winging it. […]
No sooner had I begun to think about roasting Calabaza for curry, I began contemplating what else I would do with all of the squash! Long story short, I bought an absolutely enormous calabaza squash (9.55 pounds to be exact). And now have the quite […]
Typically when I make salsa, I really go for heat! I’ve been growing all of the peppers that I can get my hands on and making things like Enchilada Sauce w/ Ghost Peppers and Brown Rice w/ Habaneros. I am a fiend for hot ingredients. […]
I have never baked brie before, let alone made phyllo dough baked brie. But every single time that I pass by the cheese isle, I drool over the whole wheels of brie and think that it must not be that difficult to bake! After all, […]
