This recipe is one of the first posted on my website. It remains one of my favorite soup recipes to this day, and can be enjoyed in any season (just make sure you stockpile canned pumpkin in the Fall)! When I made this recipe recently, I was going from memory. […]
The inspiration for this sauce? My Paleo Mexican Meatloaf. I was on the path to creating my version of a Paleo mole sauce, and stopped halfway through the process to taste the base. It was delicious enough to stand alone as a play on the ketchup of traditional meatloaf recipes. […]
Ever since having meatloaf at my friend Katie’s house this summer, I have a new love and appreciation for meatloaf. Despite my Mom’s amazing abilities in the kitchen, I was never a fan of her meatloaf growing up. Maybe this change of meatloaf perspective can be attributed to the Hawaiian […]

Every time Taylor and I step into the food court area of the Annapolis Mall, there is a line outside the door of Chipotle Mexican Grill. I am certainly a fan of all their deliciously seasoned proteins when placed into a burrito bowl, but it is shocking that the store […]
This is another recipe that my Nouna gave to my Mom, and it ended up in one of my recipe binders. It is very reminiscent of the Greek Yemousto (stuffed veggies) in terms of ingredients and flavors, without as many steps! Taylor even said, “This might be the best dish […]
