Since my honorary bro-in-law and soul brotha is also my cooking buddy and 83.6% of our chats consist of food porn, we decided to start a weekly (when we aren’t being lazy) series of recipe posts where he contributes to my site!! This is his first post, enjoy! First off, I got all the veggies from this really cool farm share thing I found out about. I didn’t know what Lizzy meant when she said that “the eggplant is so […]
I have been putting it off as long as I could, but I finally got a spiralizer. I have never been one of those people who enjoy replacing my carbs with veggies and pretending like they were the yummy pasta I know and love… but I really want to start cooking healthier at home so I thought why not give it a try! The spiralizer I got you can find here. It’s pretty small, but the perfect size for me since I’m […]
What do you do when you have leftover challah on Sunday from Shabbat dinner? You make shakshuka for brunch of course! (Shakshuka is a breakfast AND dinner staple of Tunisian, Libyan, Algerian, Moroccan, Egyptian, and Israeli cuisines, traditionally served in cast iron pans with bread to dip in the rich tomato sauce). My cooking style has totally changed since I met my boyfriend – his family is Lebanese and I have been introduced to an entirely different genre of cooking than […]
This is one of those dishes I somehow managed to turn into a seriously tasty dinner by just throwing the last few things I had in the fridge together. Don’t you love when that happens? I went to one of my favorite restaurants in Houston a few weeks ago (BCN Taste & Tradition), and tried so many new dishes, one of them being squid ink rice. The taste was unreal but one of the things I loved most was the contrast […]
For Mother’s day all my mom wanted to do was cook (now you see where I get it from), and it was her request we make some kind of a spaghetti squash casserole. I love spaghetti squash – it’s one of my favorite substitutes when I am trying to be healthy, and it’s so easy to cook. This casserole came out so so so yummy, the only bad part is I don’t really have an exact recipe for it!! Of all […]
This is the reason I love blogging – it brings people together who might never have met otherwise, all with similar interests but very different backgrounds. Last week I was lying on the couch scrolling through food porn on twitter, and to my surprise came across an email from someone I had never met before. Jeremy, the author at Do Bianchi, somehow found my blog and had invited me to a blogger dinner at Vallone’s restaurant in Houston. I won’t lie and say […]
Thank you Minted for partnering with me on this post! Mother’s Day has always been a tough holiday for me since my parents are divorced. It’s always hard to make sure I am spending enough quality time with each set of parents… and now that I am old enough to fully realize all that both my mothers have done for me, the pressure feels a bit higher to make sure I do something really special for both of them. Minted […]
