Avocado dip is one of my all-time favorite dishes to make. It’s essentially a cross between hummus and guacamole. Although, today I made it with Sweet Potato Fritters, which are a Middle Eastern dish. So, I went for more of a hummus recipe with avocados, […]
It’s false spring. It’s 50 degrees. There are sunny skies. I left my jacket in the car three days ago never went back out to get it. But it’s supposed to drop 40 degrees and snow 3-6 inches by Thursday. Which I’m delighted about because […]
As much as I like Tofu Stir Fry, I’ve never been entirely sure whether or not I need a wok. I technically do own one. I sort of inherited it. Although it’s Teflon, so I’ve never used it. I’m not entirely opposed to Teflon. My […]

Being in the restaurant industry, the holidays are always incredibly busy. No one wants to cook when they’re about to cook for the whole family! So, I’ve been in quick and easy dish mode lately. My idea of a “simple” meal is anything that takes […]
It’s the holiday season. And, more than anything in the blustery weather, I make lentils. I know that this might mot be the most common of things! But I associate quinoa with bright, citrus, summery days. And I associate lentils with warm, rich, winter. This […]
