I found a bag of frozen sweet potato fries at the grocery store. They looked interesting, so I thought I’d give them a try, and see if they’d pass the test.

He found this dip at Kirsten’s Home […]

A good tzatziki makes any kebab sandwich or schwarma sandwich even more delicious. I first had tzatziki at Albasha (when we lived in Baton Rouge), except at Albasha it’s called Grecian Sauce. Whatever you want to call it, it’s worth making.
We made chicken kebabs and served the chicken in a pita with some chopped tomatoes […]
We had some delicious looking eggplant sitting in the fridge that we bought from at the Farmer’s Market. I just knew it would be delicious in a curry. So I used my favorite Thai red curry recipe (made a few changes) and planned the dish around the eggplant. You could easily add chicken or beef, […]
