This week I am doing a brand new recipe. One that is based off of Chicken Ghee Roast. It's basically chicken roasted in a lovely butter based Indian masala. I wanted to make my own version using a lentil roast made into meatballs. Tony has asked me to lay off the tofu this week, so [...]
I was inspired to find a vegan Swedish meatballs recipe by one of my favorite YouTube Chefs: Alex the French Guy. Alex is a...french guy. He lives in France and mixes his engineering talents with cooking. Alex is publishing a series on making the perfect meatball. Not just perfect tasting, but perfectly shaped. On his [...]
I had never heard of Haluski until this week. I was watching a clip from Diners, Drive-ins and Dives from the Food Channel and came across a simple dish called Haluski. The version of haluski on the show was made from egg noodles, onions, bacon and cabbage. It sounded interesting. So I decided to see [...]

I wanted to make a healthier vegetarian version that would give you all of the comfort [...]
I decided to go for comfort food this week. A nice creamy dish that make me happy and reminds me of what mom used to make. Alexandra Barnett at Taste of Home had a recipe for Paprika Pork that reminded me a lot of Chicken Paprikash. I decided to make my own take on this [...]
Chock this up to another dish that I have never heard of before. While I was watching yet another YouTube video on the treadmill, I saw Koshari. Koshari is the national dish of Egypt. With all of the Middle eastern food I eat, I am surprised that I have never heard of this. I found [...]
I wanted to start off the new year with a great bean recipe. While eating beans are a superstition that are supposed to bring good luck, I wanted to do them more as a great healthy and comforting start. I also did Hoppin' John and Black-Eyed Peas with Coconut Milk and Ethiopian Spices for the [...]
