This is a fairly quick and simple post that's really just here to complement a few other dishes. More specifically this savory yogurt sauce goes extremely well with grilled lamb, chicken, grape leaves, homemade gyros, and salads. There are a lot of different ways to make this cucumber yogurt or Greek tzatziki-like sauce/dressing/dip. The few truths... Continue Reading →
Eat like a Pharaoh! I don't care how you spell it (Molokhia, Molokheya, Mulukhiya) or what you call it (Jews Mallow, Jute Mallow, Mallow Leaves) because regardless of the name, this is one of my favorite comfort foods. It is a traditional Egyptian soup that was typically eaten by royalty in Ancient Egypt, but eventually... Continue Reading →

I made some slight ingredient modifications and created my own recipe during Lent one year. Now, I'm not... Continue Reading →

I'm not sure when stuffing left the bird and ended up as its own dish, but I'm so glad it did (besides, the USDA recommends against stuffing a turkey for food safety reasons!). Ever since watching...

Thanksgiving is one of those great American holidays that no matter what religion or non-religion you are, we can all celebrate it. It's a time to give thanks for all we have and for those we have in our lives to share it with. Every year since I was about 6 years old, my immediate... Continue Reading →
One of my friends described the feeling of coming back from New Orleans as "NOLA withdrawal." That makes sense because while in New Orleans for a friend's wedding we tasted many delicious foods ranging from po' boys to turtle soup to smoked bbq to boudin (a ridiculously amazing cajun sausage). At Mother's Restaurant in New... Continue Reading →
