Creme brûlée- the most decadent, creamy, delicious dessert. I’ve been on such a creme brûlée kick recently that I’ve been ordering it for dessert whenever we go out to eat. Due to my latest obsession, I decided to purchase a kitchen torch to experiment making my own creme brûlée creations at home. And boy, I…

Baked Spinach Falafel Pita with Garlic Tahini Sauce
This Baked Spinach Falafel Pita is so good and makes for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner. I didn’t know this until recently but falafel is actually really easy to make at home. Besides soaking the chickpeas overnight (a critical step that can’t be skipped), it takes a total of 30 minutes! And not…
Brussels Sprouts Bravas
If you’re familiar with Spanish tapas, chances are you’ve had a delicious plate of Patatas Bravas. Patatas Bravas is a plate of fried potatoes typically served with a smoky red sauce and garlic aioli. These are dangerously addicting. Last time my boyfriend and I went out for tapas, we had to order two plates that’s…
Lemon Oregano Mini Hasselback Potatoes

It actually works…

We all know how good fried chicken is, but unfortunately we also know it’s not the best thing for you. Fried chicken is generally breaded in white refined flour and deep fried in oil. The first time I had Nashville Hot Chicken, it was so good I knew I had to figure out a way…
Apricot Chicken Soba Noodle Salad
Despite it being 50 degrees and pouring rain last weekend, it is 90 degrees and sunny this weekend which means I’m only in the mood to eat one thing: salads. Salads generally get a bad reputation because people think they’re boring or not filling enough. But this Apricot Chicken Soba Noodle salad is certainly not…
Tropical Tomato Soup
I know it’s Memorial Day weekend and I should be sweating it out on a lawn chair eating a juicy chargrilled burger at someone’s backyard barbecue but it’s actually 50 degrees and rainy outside so…tomato soup it is! But it is some damn good tomato soup, if I do say so myself.
