Sweet Potato Nacho Hash??
My love for nachos is unnatural. It is obscene. When I think of queso, I imagine swimming in a pool of it, slowly, the cheese caressing my every surface. However, nachos don’t really love anyone back. In the long term anyway. So, I decided to try to make something that I could have more… Continue reading Sweet Potato Nacho Hash??
Quinoa Granola
One of the birthday goals is to make granola. I haven’t touched the goal…until now. Goals like this one work best when you spread them out across the year.

Cherry Coke Cake
I can’t think about Cherry Coke without thinking about that Savage Garden song that says something about, “Just like a drink of cherry cola.” Okay, I’ll stop frontin’ I know exactly what Savage Garden song that is (I Want You).

That said, when I was poking around online looking for information about Algeria, particularly Algerian food, when I saw some surnames that… Continue reading Algeria

If you had asked me, say, when I was in high school whether I would ever have a connection to Albania, I would have answered confidently that I wouldn’t. Ahh high school, the age of misguided confidence. It turned out that through some friends of a friend, that I would meet an Albanian guy with… Continue reading Albanian Adventures
Raspberries, Chocolate, and One of My Favorite People
Last week was the kind of week that makes it difficult to maintain an otherwise sunny disposition. There were other factors involved, but the main one involves my car. My poor car; she’s been through so much. On Monday, I started her up and got ready to go through the morning routine. I pulled onto… Continue reading Raspberries, Chocolate, and One of My Favorite People
A is for Afghanistan
Recently, I said to my guy that I think that it would be cool to go through list of countries and cook food from each of these countries, in alphabetical order. He did not look at me like I am from a different planet. I love that man. Anyway, it seemed to me like this might… Continue reading A is for Afghanistan
