Baked Falafel with Tahini Dip
Every time I go to Trader Joe’s, a new piece of yummy goodness hits my sights! I found this falafel mix, and decided I had to give it a go. If it sucks, I can just toss it, or add more of whatever ingredient in […]

Meera’s Flipping Burgers
I’ve been making these homemade burger patties for years, yet somehow I never made them in the months since starting this food blog. I’m so glad I have this opportunity to earn my domain name! I like to heavily season my meat, and add some […]
Coconut Lemongrass Fish
I made this Thai-inspired recipe up while trying to recreate a fish stew we ate a few months ago. I can no longer remember that stew’s taste, but I will say that you can’t go wrong with my recipe! 🙂 This is also a “one […]
Smoothie lunches
Recently I’ve found myself dealing with an increased reluctance to cook lunch. Probably because I cook dinner almost every day, I’m suffering from a small cooking burnout. So, I decided to just have smoothie lunches this whole week, and its been great! As an added […]

Mexican meal part 1: Spanish rice in IP
I had about 30 minutes in which to use the IP, clean it out, and then use it again to make pork. I decided upon this no-saute version of Spanish rice, in which you get to simply dunk everything in the pot and pressure cook […]
Tandoori chicken
While we do have a tandoor at home, we allowed it to get rained on a little with the lid open, and ended up making this chicken in the oven. The good news is, it comes out just as great roasted 🙂 I used chicken […]
