I’m very into simple flavors right now, especially when it comes to enhancing every day roasted vegetables with new flavor combinations (see my maple balsamic sprouts here). This broccoli would have been perfectly delicious just roasted in the oven with the classic olive oil and salt, but this time we decided to kick it up…

Chana Masala
I’m on a bit of a homemade Indian food kick lately, and since I still have the spices handy from my Chicken Tikka Masala recipe (hubby’s fav), I decided to try MY fav, Chana Masala. This is a slightly spicy, tomato-based chickpea dish that’s wonderful served over rice or couscous. It’s fragrant, warm, simple, and…
Falafel with Garlic Herb Sauce
Falafel — a vegetarian’s dream. It’s a delicious and pretty accessible meat-free (and vegan!) option. I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to try making it! This recipe is very simple and easy – you use a food processor to mix the dough, then form it into little balls or disks, and then fry…

Even though Indian cooking features…
French Green Beans with Couscous
The past two days were really fantastic. Besides being a rare warm March weekend, my parents came to visit us to celebrate Easter and my mom’s birthday! While they were here, we walked all over the city, enjoyed the rare opportunity to be outside, and ate a lot of delicious food together. Even though we…
