One of my goals for this blog has been to make it a resource for you. A place you can turn to when you need a basic salmon baked in oven, a crockpot soup, or a killer margarita. Where you know you’ll be able to get a easy gravy recipe that will work every time.

One way that I know that I’m slowly moving toward that goal is that I find myself using my OWN blog as a resource.

“2020 is shaping up exactly as planned,” said nobody ever. But I will say, in ONE way, and one way only, it’s shaping up as I imagined.

Home cooks across Michigan love the great apples available in our state, perfect for cooking or eating on their own. Today, I’m excited to be guest posting for the Michigan Apples blog, sharing a recipe featuring Gala apples (my favorite variety!).

I’ve been completely obsessed with Middle Eastern flavors for some time now. I find it to be the best cuisine for making healthy, fresh (and often vegetarian) ingredients taste incredibly vibrant and satisfying.

I love it so much that I actually found myself eating a bigger dinner the day after Thanksgiving (where we ordered Lebanese carryout for a Friendsgiving get-together) than I did for Thanksgiving dinner. Go figure.

I used to really, really hate the flavor of many fresh herbs. Especially fresh parsley and mint. Just smelling or thinking about either one kind of made me want to die a little bit. You know how in Sex and The City, Carrie tells servers she’s allergic to fresh parsley because she hates it so much? Yeah, that’s pretty much what I wanted to do (but never really did).
