Buffalo Cauliflower & Chickpea Salad
Whether you are trying to eat less meat, or just are looking for (mostly) healthy and easy lunch ideas, this recipe is for you. I imagine that one of the hardest things about not eating meat would be missing out on chicken wings.

Perfect Sourdough Bread
I have discovered a new love for baking during this quarantine. Maybe it is the lower altitude in New Castle, or maybe I’ve developed more patience over the years, but one thing is for sure – I’ve definitely stepped up my baking game. For me, it is an almost meditative experience.
I also need to say that no other recipe has ever brought me as much joy as my first loaf of sourdough bread did – and I have made a LOT of recipes. So before you write this off for being too hard or too time-consuming, hear me out.

Tropical Smoothie Bowl
The birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, and temperatures are rising here on the Western Slope of Colorado! With average daily highs in the 80s, now is the perfect time to make these refreshing tropical smoothie bowls! I love smoothie bowls because you can mix and match whatever smoothie bowl toppings and fruit that you may have on hand. These particular smoothie bowls were made with mixed berries, banana and coconut milk, then topped with granola, chia seeds, grapes and bananas.

Pulled Pork Mee Goreng

Mee Goreng holds a special place in my heart. It (and Nasi Goreng) reminds me of my time volunteering at the Turtle Conservation Center on Nusa Penida off the coast of Bali. Though most of our meals were Nasi Goreng, it was always a treat to have the Mee Goreng, with noodles instead of rice!

Although this version of the Shakshuka recipe is more traditional, there are TONS of ways to make this dish. Find a few other Shakshouka recipe ideas here!

Malaysian Curry Laksa with Chicken & Shrimp
Brr! I have officially declared it Snowvember. It took a while to get here, but the snow just keeps coming. All the ski resorts are rushing to open new terrain for their opening weekends. I am definitely going to have to get out there soon. But for now, I am cuddling up in my apartment with a nice bowl of this Malaysian curry.
