It all started when I discovered Trader Joe’s Rosemary Raisin Crisps. Almost instantly, I was hooked. Problem was, like any addiction, it was starting to get expensive. Not that they’re really that pricey, but still more than I wanted to spend on crackers. Plus, they have sunflower seeds in them, which I’m not particularly fond […]

I’m baaack!  Sorry for the long blogging hiatus; I’ve missed you all so much!  It’s been a rough couple of months: a tough breakup, a long search for a new place to live, moving, problems with the electricity at the new place… well, let’s hope things go smoother from now on!  I have managed to […]

It’s rare for me to get excited over breakfast foods, but chilaquiles is a notable exception.  This classic Mexican comfort food is brimming with zesty flavors, making it a very special morning meal.  And if you happened to have a bit much to drink the night before, it also doubles as a delicious hangover cure.

Coconut-Cilantro Flatbread

I’m glad that “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade” is already a standby, because it’s a lot easier to say than what I would have come up with. “When life gives you a failed coconut-cilantro yogurt dip, make coconut-cilantro yogurt flatbread” just doesn’t have the same ring to it. But it does, however, make […]
