Our culinary diary
I come from of huge family. My mother has seven siblings, and my father has five. As of last count, I have FORTY first cousins, ranging from age 6 to 33. I haven't the slightest clue how many extended relatives I have beyond that, but it's a lot and I know many of them. But the... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago, I found this post from SweetMeets BakeShop. I was so intrigued by the idea of using garam masala in a sweet dessert that I kept coming back to it. I don't bake a whole lot, but I'm always trying to get myself to do so. Turns out reading that post was the kick in the... Continue Reading →
So what do you think of when you hear "stuffed peppers"? Chances are, you're imagining something with bold Tex-Mex flavors, I am right? I picture a big old red pepper, filled with beef, beans, onions, and spices in a red sauce, smothered with cheese on top. The cheesy, spicy goodness gets you every time! So hate... Continue Reading →
I've had this idea of French Onion soup combined with zoodles for awhile. I'd seen similar ideas on other blogs in the past, but have never tried it myself. The ones I drew from the most were this one from Climbing Grier Mountain and this one from Mother Thyme. True to form, I tried to keep... Continue Reading →
Do you love soup as much as I do? Are you looking for a little variety in your soup life? Then this might be the soup for you. A few years ago, we were in Turkey visiting Selim's family. Over there, I basically hit the soup jackpot. Not only does Turkish cuisine include soup with... Continue Reading →
What is lahmacun you ask? Let's start with pronunciation. If you're American (or not Turkish, really), I can almost guarantee your guess is wrong. In Turkish, the pronunciation of 'c' as we English speakers know it, doesn't really exist. If you see a 'c' in a Turkish word, think of it as an English 'j.' Easy enough?... Continue Reading →
I don't know about y'all, but I feel like lunch is kind of a struggle meal. I want to have something that tastes good, is easy to make, is portable to work/school, is pretty healthy, and keeps me full until dinner. That's doable, but sometimes is just a little boring. Lunch just isn't an exciting... Continue Reading →
For those who don't know, raita is a very versatile Indian yogurt dip/sauce. A dollop on top of spicy hot dishes cools them right off. Naan dipped in raita makes delicious naan even better. I say versatile because raita basically is a blank canvas that can be modified in a million different ways. You start... Continue Reading →
The slow cooker seems to fall out of popularity in the summer, I guess because most of the recipes you think of as traditionally going in a slow cooker are more "fall" or "winter" recipes. But it's really perfect for summer! Just think, you don't have to turn on the oven and heat up your... Continue Reading →
We're fairly busy during the week, so we like to attempt new recipes, or ones that are sure to be longer or more elaborate on the weekends. I'm sure that was already fairly obvious by the days we post new recipes... Actually, last year, one of my New Year's resolutions was to try a... Continue Reading →
