Eggplant and Pepper Salad
It’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been cooking so much and meaning to share every moment of it…. the truth is, recipe writing takes time.

Spelt Fusilli with Tomatoes, Prosciutto Cotto, Mushrooms, Olives and Spinach
Sometimes the last minute, impromptu pasta recipes are the best ones. This was made with a few ingredients I located in my fridge.

Delicious and Healthy Quinoa and Wild Rice Stuffed Peppers

“Why waste your time making it?”, I could hear my mom telling me. “Why don’t you just go buy it at the store?” Strange question coming from someone like my own mother, who always made everything from scratch, even chocolate chip cookies, when all we wanted were Chips Ahoy.
