I have had quite a difficult time finding good bulk lentils. Especially in rural Wisconsin. So, I’ve been slowly going through them until there is almost nothing left! And I have finally reached the end of my pantry and must do something with the black […]
This is another one of those meals that isn’t as far fetched as it seems! Ethiopian red lentils and sautéed spinach are often eaten with injera, a flatbread that is made out of teff. To someone who’s never seen it before, injera vaguely resembles a […]
Ethiopian salmon is far from a traditional meal. Salmon are more commonly found in the North Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. And certainly aren’t as widely associated with a landlocked country in the horn of Africa! But I grew up in Oregon and first found a […]
I very much enjoy a traditional Ethiopian plate. It’s great to get everyone together over a communal group of dishes and injera. Injera is an Ethiopian flatbread made out of teff. You tend to eat it with your hands and rip off pieces of injera […]

When you think of curry, one of the last things that you likely think of are it in combination of nachos! And I will admit that curry in nachos is by no means a traditional meal. Let alone chocolate curry nachos with saffron rice and […]
This wine poached salmon and saffron rice recipe all started with a saffron purchase! I was perusing through Costco in the spice section. Vaguely looking for coconut oil or one of those baking ingredients that’s best bought in bulk. When I came across saffron. Now, […]
I made this salmon recipe particularly with White Wine Poached Salmon & Saffron Rice in mind. I hesitate to call poaching salmon and making the rice a separate part of this recipe. After all, I made them at the same time and haven’t eaten either […]
