Roasted Golden Beets Over Pesto
When I was a kid, in my household we only ate beets in salads. Fresh salads, salads with pickled onions, pink potato salads… When I look back, I always remember the beets being boiled and only the root.
Çılbır (Turkish Eggs)
On Saturday morning my partner asked me to go to brunch. I weighed the pros and cons. The cons outweighed the single pro so I decided to make Çılbır (turkish eggs) and charge him $25.
Low Effort, High Reward Creamy Sesame Noodles
This creamy sesame noodles recipe takes 10 minutes to make. It can be vegan or not and has a lot of space for iteration and growth. You can add fresh veggies. Short ribs. Shredded chicken. Kimchi. Green onions. Fried tofu. Seriously, the world is yours.
Cherry Peach Galette and My Love for Stone Fruit
I could eat stone fruit all summer. This Cherry Peach Galette is ideal for a summer treat. Top it with ice cream and enjoy!
Almond Green Beans with Lemon Zest and Cotija Cheese
This past Saturday I went to Houston’s Urban Harvest Farmer’s market. Something I haven’t done in a while and it was a real pleasure. Getting there early, grabbing a coffee at the first booth, and browsing all the fresh produce, and talking with the farmers about what’s good this week. Among the bounty I purchased was: green beans, fresh radishes, rainbow carrots, delicata squash, fresh herbs, and eggs.
