Creamy Baba Ganoush
Move over hummus, another Middle Eastern dip deserves the spotlight! I hate to think that some of you have only heard about baba ganoush because of Wedding Crashers, but the reality is it just doesn’t get enough credit. Before I go any further though I need to admit that I dislike tahini. I cringe when I think of it. I don’t like when hummus has a strong tahini taste, and do not get me started with tahini dressings.

It has taken me a few years of making meatballs to determine my meatball preferences. I like moist, not dry, spongy, not crumbly, oven baked,…
Spicy Caper Pasta
This one is for all my spicy lovers out there. Spicy Caper Pasta is briny, spicy, and is done in mere minutes. You might be skeptical thinking, where is the sauce? Well that is the best part. There is no traditional sauce here. The pasta is coated in a garlic herb infused olive oil that takes 15 minutes to make. This dish is great for a quick lunch or a solo dinner on a crunch, however if you want to…
