Holy cow, guys! After I put this dish in the oven on Sunday afternoon, I had to go down the street to the market for a couple ingredients for another recipe. I came back 15 minutes later to the most amazing smells wafting out of my apartment. This takes a bit more time than my … Continue reading »

Indian Pineapple Cauliflower Rice
A couple weeks back, I went to an Oscar party with the wonderful folks from Invictus and had to think of an Oscar-themed dish to bring along. Originally, I was joking around with Tiger Burgers (a nod to Life of Pi and Richard Parker) but then I kept thinking Pi-neapple. The idea for Life of … Continue reading »

Golumbki (aka Cabbage Rolls)

When I made this recipe, I instantly reminisced about her standing in the kitchen cooking for … Continue reading »
Paleo Noodle Bowl
