I didn’t necessarily intend to make sweet potatoes fritters today. I had a multitude of shopping and cooking dilemmas that I needed to sort through before finally deciding on fritters. Although I’m quite glad that I did! Sometimes culinary dilemmas give you just enough constraints […]
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, […]
I’ve been gearing up to make Red Wine Marinara. It’s not the most difficult of recipes. The key is really just slowly simmering tomatoes until thickened. I really dislike the way that food blogs treat tomatoes, though. It might be convenient to use canned tomatoes. […]
I like to test out new products. I’m in the restaurant industry. There’s very little difference between high-end consumer and low-end professional culinary products. And, quite frankly, you don’t have to ask me twice if I want a fancy schmancy new red Dutch oven (this […]

I didn’t necessarily go into this expecting that I would make Peanut Butter Quinoa. I’ve been having quite the experimental assortment of food lately, though. I’ve made Curry w/ Multicolored Potatoes, Peanuts, & Sprouts, Cheesecake w/ Peanut Butter & Chocolate Ganache, and Curry w/ Bananas, […]
