Smoky, spicy, sweet, filling- but light all at the same time. This chipotle grilled peach flatbread is quick and simple, but still looks fancy pants.

Feel free to adjust up or down depending on your own preference.

time to read 2 min I call this the Real Deal Mediterranean Salad because the first words my taste tester who just returned from a 2-year stay in Jerusalem said was “That’s the real deal!” Actually, to be honest, his first words were “That is fantastic.” THEN he made the real deal comment. I was trying to be humble, but let’s…

This one-dish meal is comforting, warming, nourishing. The softened leek and farro grains create a creaminess that would knock the socks off the most ardent dairy lover.
time to read < 1 min You are likely wondering what you should do with the leftover rotisserie chicken that is in your fridge. Yesterday was chicken, roast potatoes, and salad. What can you eat today that will use up your leftovers without completely repeating the flavors? If you are thinking, “Perhaps a Vietnamese Chicken Salad?” then you beat me to the punch….
time to read 2 min I didn’t intend to post these Jumpin’ Monkey Bites on the site- they were just a random Instagram post but considering the feedback I got from emails, Instagram, and Facebook I thought I’d share the recipes here as well. Someday I’ll update the photos and make it all look very pretty for you. When I…
time to read 2 min You are probably thinking- ENOUGH WITH THE SOUPS ALREADY!! I get it, I totally do, but it has been for a good reason. Ever since I moved to the UK, I haven’t had a working oven AND the current stove I have only has one working hob. I KNOW! So, believe me, I’m just as over…
The gatherings are a great idea, as long as they stay grassroots. Youtube should promote, and attend. Youtube should also use some muscle to secure some discounts for users, like food, and hotel. A couple of smaller events, and a couple of larger ones would be good. One in Dallas would be great. Running it with the A.F.I. festival would be cool. Hell, why not run it in Austin with SXSW.
