From my kitchen to your palate
Summertime is here and that means light, bright, and colorful dishes. We had friends this weekend and I kept things simple, which meant BBQ and pre-prepped dishes so I could spend quality time with them. Burgers and Brats (will all the fixings) were on the …
So we are on day 254 of Covid containment, but who’s counting (insert sarcastic laugh). I’m trying my best to vary recipes so we don’t get tired of eating the same thing every single week. I love, love, love cooking, but even I am at …
Happy Friday and hooray for the weekend?!? Seriously, is anyone else totally confused about what day it is? At this point, aren’t the week and weekend running into one another? Minus the fact that I don’t have to work the weekends (not complaining here), they …

I’m in love with eggplant. Maybe it’s because of my Middle Eastern background, but my hubby loves it too and he’s totally not Middle Eastern so maybe eggplant is just that good. There are so many ways one can prepare eggplant. Personally I roast it, smoke it, puree it, …
My internet obsessed shopping husband always has at least three packages arriving at our door step each week. He always claims it’s something “for the house” in order to justify the expenditure (sure Greg, sure). In a nice turn of events his latest purchase was …
