Every now and then I like to grab something at the grocery store that I don’t often cook with. It makes me feel like I’m in one of those mystery box cooking challenging on culinary game shows. Plus, it gives me a chance to explore […]
I am a “more is more” kind of person when it comes to making potatoes. I’ve also been traveling. I’m calling it “freelance traveling chef” work on my resume. Although it’s really just a fancy way of saying “unemployed chef who’s burned out on the […]
I don’t often roast vegetables on the side. I cook so many vegetarian recipes as it is, that adding more vegetables on the side almost seems superfluous. These Tahini Roasted Carrots & Cauliflower are the standout dish this Christmas. It’s one of those recipes where […]

The other day I made Multicolored Potato, Peanut, & Sprout Curry. It was absolutely delicious. Although I am still in the curry mood! I don’t want to replicate what I just made because that would almost be boring. So, I decided today to mix things […]
