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 […]

With almost 10 pounds of roasted calabaza, it’s no wonder that I’ve begun to turn to burritos! I tend to make everything into a burrito at some point. Burritos and pizza I might consider absolutely perfect foods… They work with almost any flavor profile and […]
