When it came to Easter, I didn’t want to do the traditional bland spread. I don’t know where the idea came to me, but I realized I had never made Egyptian food before and had only seen it in documentaries. Challenge accepted, I started looking up recipes on Pinterest and stumbled across so many amazing dishes. The difficult part was …

I used to think I hated brussel sprouts. I mean, who really lists them as their favorite food? I had them in a restaurant a few years back and was blown away by how flavorful they were. I started experimenting on my own. At first, success! I found a recipe that worked. But as I veered away from the one …

I always thought mug cakes were desserts for college students. All of the recipes and examples I had seen had minimal ingredients and mere seconds in the microwave to bake. When Dan said he wanted to make a mug cake, I said sure! Why not? It could be fun. Couldn’t imagine the mug cakes tasted that great in all honesty, …
