Coq au Vin is just one of those delicious dishes that I don’t often allow myself the pleasure of. Why? Because it’s definitely not the healthiest dish around with its normal profusion of butter and bacon. This is the perfect dish when you just want o...
Have you all missed me??? I’ve been on an unintended hiatus this past week. I ended up taking a full time course load this quarter in an effort to graduate in July rather than December. Long story short – one midterm, 2 papers, 1 case study, 2 group ...
I’m going to call this dish Lola’s Noodles. Now my Lola (grandmother) never made me anything like this – that I remember anyway – and it’s probably a good thing since I would have continuously bugged her to make it over and over again. There’s just s...
I’ve been on a soup kick lately (surprise, surprise) and I’ve got a ton of soups to post soon. I also just realized that in almost every soup I’ve made, I’ve included either collard greens or kale but eh. Greens are super delicious and perfect in soup/stew...

I’ve had a bit of an obsession lately. I get that way sometimes, it’s for no good reason but I just become fixated on doing something. Here’s a perfect example. For whatever random reason, I got the whole idea of doing an old school mayonnaise slathered...
Did everyone have a super fantastic holiday? I’ve been on vacation and loving every minute. I even took a mini vacation from blogging and spent the majority of my days reading, relaxing and basically joyous over the lack of class and work, heaven! But...
I’ve got so much to share in this post! Let’s start at the beginning. I was contacted a few weeks ago by Johar’s Original Bollywood Chutneys asking me if I’d like to review their Hot Cilantro Chutney (maybe from reading my blog they noticed my love of...
