Yes, another food blog.
Cabbage rolls can be found in traditional cuisines all across Europe and the Middle East, though in my head, I most associate them with eastern Europe. In keeping with our Ukrainian dinner theme, we made these cabbage rolls in more of a Ukrainian style. As with every "traditional dish" I've ever researched or made, there... Continue Reading →
How many times can we say it? A year like none other... so a Christmas unlike any other we've had. As of a few weeks ago, we'd come up with a plan for the weeks prior to Christmas, so we all felt comfortable visiting with my parents and siblings on Christmas Eve. Of course, we... Continue Reading →
This isn't the first time we'd tried a riff on stuffed peppers around here. I loved our last creation - Chicken & Couscous Stuffed Peppers, probably because I like anything with pearl couscous.

I'm pretty sure there were... 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 →
Have to start somewhere right? For our very first blog post, I give you a pretty easy recipe for shrimp étouffée. The other day we saw some nice-looking fresh shrimp on sale and snatched it up. So we were trying to plan a dinner around said shrimp. I caught a glimpse of Emeril on TV,... Continue Reading →
